Last year the men’s lacrosse team only failed to hit double digits on the scoreboard twice. Six games into this young season, the Red has already finished four games below the two-digit plateau. This afternoon it might be a struggle to hit double digits again as Cornell welcomes Binghamton, which boasts one of the best statistical defenses on the season.
Through their first three games, the Bearcats (2-2) only gave up four goals per contest, the best in the nation, and also ranked first in man-down defense. However, in its last contest, Binghamton’s defense proved penetrable as Syracuse netted 16 goals. The Orange, however, is ranked No. 2 in the country while Binghamton has floated just outside of the top-20 all season.
