The Syracuse men’s lacrosse team has a perfect 3-0 record in games played in the Carrier Dome on this date during the past 25 years. The Orange overcame a four-goal deficit to defeat Cornell, 17-8, on this date in 1983. The Big Red held a 6-2 advantage in the second quarter, but SU rallied to cut the lead to one at halftime. The teams were knotted at 7-7 before Syracuse scored 10 unanswered goals to record a 17-8 victory. Randy Lundblad scored two goals and dished out six assists, while Tim Nelson had three goals and five assists. Travis Solomon recorded 24 saves in goal for the Orange. The win started a seven-game winning streak that culminated with the school’s first national championship. In 1985, Tom Korrie scored five goals and dished out two assists, and goalkeeper Tom Nims made 22 saves to lead the Orange past Rutgers, 15-6. Syracuse jumped out to a 5-0 lead and used a 6-0 second-quarter scoring run to defeat the University of Pennsylvania, 20-12, on this date in 1991. Tom Marechek and Matt Riter scored five goals apiece to lead Syracuse’s offensive attack. The Orange football squad also has been in action in the Dome on this date. The program held its annual Spring Game on this date in 2002.

Caira struck out 13 batters while issuing just two walks and only allowed one base runner to advance past second base the entire game. This is the third no-hit effort of Caira’s career, and her first since April 13th, 2009 against Canisius. She also no-hit Villanova the week before on April 5th, 2009. Caira now owns three of the five no-hitters thrown in SU history. 1) Defensive end Chandler Jones is the newest Syracuse University representative in the National Football League.
