LAST TIME THEY MET SYRACUSE, N.Y. – No. 6 Syracuse will play in the 2015 NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament third round for the second consecu ve year and for the third me in the last four years a er defea ng Dartmouth, 2-1, at the SU Soccer Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 22. The Orange overcame an early deficit and had a late defensive stand in the victory. Syracuse (14-5-3) immediately applied offensive pressure but couldn’t connect its passes in the final third. Although the Orange was domina ng possession, Dartmouth (12-6-1) was the first to get on the scoreboard when Ma Greer played a through ball to Jus n Donawa, who put his shot into the back of the net in 30th minute. It was the first goal Syracuse had allowed in more than 245 minutes of ac on and it marked the first me the Orange trailed in a match since the season finale on Oct. 30. Junior Ben Polk answered for the Orange less than four minutes later. He took a pass from sophomore Julien Buescher with his back to the goal. Polk turned and fired a shot, which went off the crossbar and landed past the goal line for his team-leading 10th goal of the season. The Orange tallied the go-ahead goal in the 55th minute. The play started with a free kick by Buescher, but his shot was blocked. He eventually took possession again on the right side, where he worked along the end line, spun and slid the ball to junior Louis Cross. Cross put his shot past Dartmouth goalkeeper Stefan Cleveland to give Syracuse a 2-1 lead. For Buescher, it was his team-best 10th of the season, which is the fourth-highest singleseason total in school history. Syracuse con nued to send numbers forward to try to add to its lead, and Dartmouth was able to get quality scoring chances on the countera ack. Donawa had a chance on a breakaway, but his shot went just wide of the le post in the 66th minute. The Big Green’s best opportuni es came with less than five minutes remaining. Donawa had a shot that was stopped by freshman defender Miles Robinson. The ball deflected to Amadu Kunateh, who put another shot on goal. This me it was Cross who was there to knock it away. Dartmouth had one more chance during the sequence, but Yima Asom’s shot went wide to end the threat. The Big Green was called for offsides on its final possession as me was running down as Syracuse improved its home record to 9-1-2 this season. AGATE Dartmouth Syracuse
