Joey Spallinaโ€™s legacy will be leaving Syracuse lacrosse better than he found it| Axe Joey Spallina set the Syracuse men's lacrosse scoring record.

Joey Spallina has more than the ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿฅ points record, as big of a deal as that is. The job isn't done, but no matter what happens from here, his legacy will be leaving Syracuse lacrosse
better than he found it.

Hope you can check out the Sunday column.

โ€˜Protect the domeโ€™: Syracuse womenโ€™s lacrosse wins a 4OT classic vs. Notre Dame Syracuse women's lacrosse beat Notre Dame in an instant classic at the JMA Wireless Dome on Saturday.

For 83 minutes and 58 seconds, it was the game no one could win.

Until Caroline Trinkaus said enough is enough.

A 22-21 all-time record. A series score of 567-564.

Syracuse vs. Virgina ๐Ÿฅ has simply been theater over the years and Saturday's game should be another high-scoring, buckle-your-seatbelt affair. โ€œItโ€™s going to be an exciting game"

What Syracuse lacrosse needs to fix before it inevitably meets North Carolina again Brent Axe says Syracuse will likely have a chance (or even two) to avenge its 14-9 loss to North Carolina on Saturday.

You get the feeling ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿฅ is going to see UNC again at some point. Here's what went wrong against the Tar Heels on Saturday and what needs to fix for the next matchup. Getting some of this right before facing a surging UVA team at the dome on Saturday would be encouraged as well

Joey Spallina on verge of Syracuse lacrosse scoring record: โ€˜Heโ€™s carved out his own legacyโ€™ Joey Spallina is just seven points away from setting the SU lacrosse all-time scoring mark.

Joey Spallina is on the verge of the ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿฅ scoring record. His legacy can't be fully debated until we see if he wins a ๐Ÿ† or not, but I think Paul Carcaterra hit the nail on the head of someone whose legacy will be similar no matter what happens from here

Caught up with my guy Dave Briggs of the Toledo Blade to get the skinny on new ๐ŸŠ AD Bryan Blair. www.syracuse.com/orangebasket...

The more I hear about him, the more I like. Guy can certainly raise $$. Has a law background, which is important in college sports. Brings a younger view and needed energy to the job. Had one current AD reach out to me and RAVED about him. Said he's perfect for Syracuse.

With Autry out of ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ€ there will be a clamoring for Gerry McNamara to come home after leading Siena to the NCAA Tournament. Names like Josh Schertz, Luke Murray and Travis Steele will be tossed around. But there's one man I think SU should target as its top candidate. www.syracuse.com/orangebasket...

What a fascinating month in the history of ๐ŸŠ sports and Syracuse University overall.

The new Chancellor, Mike Haynie, is in.

A new AD will soon follow.

A new men's basketball coach will come after that (in all likelihood).

๐ŸŠ๐Ÿฅ is failing its road test so far. 11-7 loss at Princeton saw SU's offense stall out, growing concern at the face-off X and a defense that kicked into gear a beat too late.

Axe: For Syracuse basketballโ€™s sake, letโ€™s hope 7 important observers absorbed the pain of Duke blowout The committee searching for SU's next athletic director got a big lesson in the task at hand during SU's 101-64 loss to Duke.

We're just basically playing out the ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ€ season at this point and there are still major decisions to be made. The 7-person committee selecting SU's new AD has a big task ahead of it.

Joey Spallina only cares about one achievement as he chases lacrosse history: โ€˜It makes me tear upโ€™ The senior has a chance to become the all-time leading scorer for SU lacrosse and deliver its first title in 17 years.

Joey Spallina is on the brink of ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿฅ history. He respects the mark that he's chasing, but it will mean nothing unless it's paired with the thing he's obsessed with this year.

Axe: Adrian Autry benching Kiyan Anthony was a no-win decision Adrian Autry's decision to bench Kiyan Anthony was the latest head scratcher for a coach getting more desperate by the day.

ICYMI over the weekend, Adrian Autry made a curious decision to completely bench Kiyan Anthony which showed a complete lack of awareness about his ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ€ squad beyond the X's and O's

The first game did not equal a first win for Regy Thorpe against
Maryland. On his challenge of keeping ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿฅon a path to compete for titles with a tough schedule and trying to reshape a culture at the same time.
