Joe, Syracuse vs. Maryland should be an interesting game, teams that don’t meet often , tough to pick since we haven’t seen Syracuse this year- Terps win in OT 8-7 on ESPN2. 2:00 game, Princeton 9, Cornell 7; In Annapolis, where Joe Bellino and Roger the Dodger played,Virginia 12, Hopkins 7 and Duke over NC 10-5. should be an enjoyable afternoon of lacrosse in Hempstead. See you at the game tomorrow night. B
