County sheriffs scramble to adapt to possibility of legalized recreational cannabis Story by India Miraglia and Gabe Stern the daily orange

Illustration by Audra Linsner asst. illustration editor

Onondaga County Sheriff Eugene Conway stood in front of a crowd at the Nancy Cantor Warehouse on Friday, listing off his concerns over New York state legalizing recreational cannabis.

The bill was underdeveloped.

Legalization could lead to a rise in impaired driving. The sheriff’s office had little time to prepare.

Still, he wouldn’t take a definitive stance on whether he would support the bill. He was trying to learn more about the subject on his own, he said, and wanted to hear more from professionals. “It’s not a position of being totally against it,� Conway told reporters after he took questions from the audience. “It’s about a position of ramifications when it comes to public safety of what the legalization of marijuana could bring with it.�

Conway, along with several other county sheriffs across central New York, have spoken out or have remained skeptical of Gov. Andrew

Cuomo’s push to legalize recreational cannabis. Five county sheriffs in across central New York have said that legalization will negatively affect public safety, and that counties need more time to learn how to adjust to those possible ramifications.

still be discussed outside of the budget, Newsday reported.

Cuomo said that legalization would create an estimated $300 million in tax revenue each year in his January “State of the State� address.

Conway said he believes that the bill will pass. But many sheriffs said they don’t have the time to prepare for the legalization of cannabis.

Sheriffs from Cortland, Saratoga, Cay uga and Chenango counties said they are searching or have already hired drug recognition experts who can quickly test whether a driver is under the inf luence of marijuana on the road. Unlike breathalyzer tests for alcohol, there’s no definitive way to test how much cannabis is in an individual’s system, multiple sheriffs said.

Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck said legalization would require sheriff offices to train additional staff, put them through schooling and retrain part of their K-9 units. “There’s a lot of things that we would have to prepare for as a law enforcement agency that we’re just not see cannabis page 6

Nash, Perez announce SA campaign goals

By Casey Darnell asst. news editor

Syracuse University students Jalen Nash and Raymond Perez have announced their candidacy for president and vice president of SU’s Student Association in several Instagram posts.

Nash, a junior political science major, currently serves as co-chair of SA’s Student Life Committee. He is also an assistant copy editor in The Daily Orange’s features department.

Raymond Perez is a junior public health major, and is not currently affiliated with SA. Their campaign focuses on three areas: access, communication and safety. Initiatives include expanding financial aid and job opportunities for students, improving communication between students, SA and university administrators and creating an independent review of the Department of Public Safety.

As Student Life co-chair, Nash

helped organize and moderated a forum with SU officials about the Feb. 9 assault of three students of color along Ackerman Avenue.

He also worked with Student

The sorority has not been suspended, and the investigation is being conducted by the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, said Panhellenic Council President Emily Barkann.

Six other Greek organizations have been suspended or expelled since the beginning of the 201718 academic year. “All chapter activity is temporarily suspended while we investigate the alleged conduct violations. We take violations of our Code of Student Conduct very seriously and any behavior contrary to our values and community standards is met with swift action,� said Sarah Scalese, SU’s senior associate vice president for communications, in a statement. “Due to the sometimes sensitive nature of cases, and to maintain students’ privacy, we do not share specifics of the allegations.�

Students, lawyers speak for abused animals

By Gillian Follett staff writer

A program that partners lawyers and Syracuse University students to advocate for abused animals recently expanded its operation to help find homes for animals who have faced abuse.

The Volunteer Advocate Lawyer for Animal Abuse Court program assigns a lawyer to animals involved in cruelty cases, said Nick DeMartino, the director of the program. Each lawyer represents an animal in court for free and follows the animal from the time police arrest its owner for alleged abuse to the animal’s trial and its aftermath, he said.

The program was initially created to help prosecute animal abusers, but as program volunteers got more involved in cases, they real-

ized there was a need for follow-up after the court proceedings were completed, DeMartino said.

The program now helps animals find safe and loving foster or permanent homes after their trials, he said. It also raises money to pay for the animals’ medical expenses when necessary.

Our primary function is to try to keep that dog alive.

Nick DeMartino director of volunteer advocate lawyer for animal abuse court

“Our primary function is to try to keep that dog alive,” he said.

“These are really the worst of the worst. These are dogs that have

been physically abused, emotionally abused or starved and one of our jobs is to work cooperatively with other agencies to try to save them.”

The program also pairs SU students with program lawyers to give them hands-on experience with criminal proceedings in court, DeMartino said. The initiative works in coordination with SU’s chapter of the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund to partner students and lawyers.

Alicia Slate, a student volunteer and president of SU’s Student Animal Legal Defense Fund, said the student volunteers play an important role in the animals’ trials. The students assist in the cases by evaluating the animals’ health, documenting any injuries and taking photos, which are used as evidence in the trial, she said.

Slate, who has been working

with the program for two years, also said the students help to resocialize the animals by playing with them or taking them for walks.

Adam Martin, another SU student volunteer, said that through his work with the initiative, he became more aware of issues that contribute to animal abuse that are common in the Syracuse area.

“Communities that have financial problems will also have incidents of abuse in many areas, like child abuse or any other kinds of family abuse, and that also includes the animals,” he said.

“Animals are also victims to the same types of cycles of crime and poverty that affect the people of a community.”

DeMartino said the program has recently expanded to Suffolk County, on Long Island. He

News briefs: 3 stories you may have missed

By Emma Folts

asst. copy editor

Here are three Syracuse University news stories you may have missed this weekend.

Whitman student dies

Charisse Juno Calaquian, a student in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management’s online professional accounting program, died last week, an SU official said in an email Friday afternoon.

“On behalf of the entire Syracuse University community, I extend our sincere condolences and sympathy to Charisse’s family, friends, professors and all

those who are mourning this loss,” said Eugene Anderson, dean of Whitman.

Anderson offered support services for both students and faculty. Students can visit the Counseling Center and the Office of Student Assistance, while staff and faculty can receive assistance through Carebridge, SU’s faculty and staff assistance program Calaquian previously attended the University of Florida, according to her Facebook account.

College Democrats, Republicans debate First Amendment rights, other

issues

SU’s College Republicans and Democrats debated income inequality, climate change and First Amendment rights at a coorganized debate Thursday night in Maxwell Auditorium.

College Republicans began the debate by asserting that education reform was the solution to income inequality. In his opening statement, Steven Kemp of the College Democrats said increased support for unions and government opportunities such as health care and improved housing were ways to solve the issue.

Debate regarding First Amendment rights centered

around whether hate speech should be protected. While both parties agreed the First Amendment should be protected, Abby Neuviller of the College Democrats said restrictions should be implemented if speech aims to incite violence. College Republican debater Alex Wilgocki said defining and banning hate speech could lead governments to control who is prosecuted for speech they deem hateful.

In the third round, which concerned climate change, College Democrats debater Alex Keegan said investment in renewable energy could help the economy see news

Climate change debate not substantive

C

limate change was the most contentious topic of discussion at the debate held between Syracuse University’s College Democrats and Republicans on Thursday. It was also the least substantive.

After discussing two other subjects, income inequality and free speech, climate change finally interrupted the civility between the Democrats and Republicans. The debaters raised their voices, jumped out of chairs, dismissed and mocked each other.

In the midst of the fire, though, there was not enough oxygen to sustain serious policy solutions.

Following the debate, Tighe Gugerty, a sophomore College of Arts and Sciences student, said that climate change is, “a problem that we know is unequivocally happening, so what needs to be done is to choose a path to fix it.”

Both Democrats and Republicans acknowledged that the

NOAH GOLDMANN

ENVIRONMENT COLUMNIST chaos surrounding climate change and related policy is a threat to humanity. But, neither side proposed the far-reaching policy that we need to combat it. The Democrats argued for government investments in clean energy, efficient infrastructure and sustainable agriculture.

And the Republicans pressed for more nuclear energy, corporate research and development and in general American capitalistic entrepreneurialism.

The problem is that those ideas aren’t enough to prevent a climate catastrophe. Solutions to the pressing environmental problems we face will require massive mobilization at every level of government, business and society.

Both sides’ solutions were halfbaked, at best.

Climate change is not a problem

for one “side” to solve. No single group will be able to pull the sword from the stone — not Democrats or Republicans, not consumers or corporations, not lawmakers or bureaucrats. Government policy without private innovation will not do enough. Private innovation without government policy will do even less.

Fighting climate change must be an American effort. We have to pursue every point of attack in our fight against climate change, not just one.

And the next time tempers flare at a college debate, we would all be well-served to pause and realize that climate change, unlike economic inequality or free speech, is no place for picking sides.

letter to the editor

SA should not host celebrities at event

“C

use Can! It Start’s With Us!” is the recently announced concert, lecture SA event. The event’s mission is to, “facilitate conversation about community dynamics and social change.” The campus should be talking about the community dynamics that allowed SA to waste student funding with overpaid talent. With a price tag of above $200,000, a community event with this purpose should have world renowned leaders in community development, engagement and social change. Instead of thoughtprovoking community leaders, SA paid for Flipp Dinero, Tiffany Haddish and Pusha T. Who is Flipp Dinero? He’s not a Syracuse native or SU alumnus.

He’s not a community activist or leader of a social movement. What could he tell us about community

dynamics or social change? Nothing. His one hit song is entitled “Leave Me Alone,” which is exactly what SA should have done instead of spending our student fees on him. Tiffany Haddish also has no strong community engagement background. Her standup routine was so bad, her fans walked out in protest. Is that the type of activism she’ll educate our campus on?

Finally, Pusha T is a big-time artist. In 2017, he vowed to expose the inequities of mass incarceration.

Then he spent 2018 beefing with Drake about the kid he was hiding from the world — but really hiding the world from his kid.

If we just wanted to just have an actress, an unknown rapper and Pusha T come to campus, that would be fine. But it makes no sense to bring those acts in the name of community dynamics and social change. The panels

won’t be filled. The concert will.

The conversation will be on the theatrics, not the transformational impact the campus could have. SA’s flyer mentions nothing about the panels’ speakers or substance because this event isn’t about substance or the community. Call it exactly what it is — an excuse to pregame.

For the past two years, students have critiqued the chancellor, the administration and DPS for a lack of genuine commitment to community and social change.

However, when SA had an opportunity to ignite a meaningful conversation about community dynamics and social change, it decided to throw our money away.

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Campus political debate didn’t deliver specifics

R

espectful discussion, philosophical or historical points of contention and even blame seem to always be a part of political debates.

But when it comes to tangible solutions, we fall short.

During the debate between Syracuse University’s College Republicans and Democrats on Thursday, we saw much of the same — long winded explanations of concepts which only, if at all, differ from the typical party line by nuance.

Both the representatives from the left and right were respectful, knowledgeable and well spoken.

But aside from the Republicans advocating for putting money toward trade and community college, I was left wanting specifics.

The debate did show civility from each side. But that doesn’t excuse the lack of thought or specificity in the conversation.

The Republican side shored up their positions in a more succinct and clear manor, focusing on education reform as a means to accessing common benefits with Democrats, stating that personalization and accountability in the higher education system are ways to fix it.

On the other hand, the Democrats did a better job of identifying issues in our society. One of their strongest points was arguably

HARRISON GARFINKLE

SAFER IN A MATTRESS

President Donald Trump taking credit for the results of some Barack Obama-era policies. Even so, if they talked more about these ideas with specifics, the Republicans could’ve used this point to refute and suggest specific policies in the same vein.

“I thought it was a good start to a public conversation about income inequality… I was left hopeful that the debate started a campus-wide conversation on how to ameliorate this national crisis,” said Steven Kemp, a sophomore College of Arts and Sciences and S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications dual major.

The event was both refreshing and provided a true glimpse into the current state of political discourse in America. The fact that we can still be civil while disagreeing — despite what others on both the left or right may have you believe — is crucial and refreshing to see at the college level.

Harrison Garfinkle is a communication and rhetorical studies major. His column runs bi-weekly. He can be reached at hgarfink@syr.edu.

In living color South Asian Students Association hosted its annual Holi celebration Sunday at the Women’s Building

Music critic to host jazz lectures

A

remix of “Bhare Bazaar� boomed from two speakers outside the Women’s Building.

Near the entrance, a handful of students began to pinch powder from small plastic bags — brushing the vibrant colors on each other’s hair.

The soft laughter, as powder was smudged on faces, gradually erupted into a vibrant swirl of dancing.

On Sunday, the South Asian Students Association hosted its annual Holi festival.

Known as the Festival of Colors, Holi is a Hindu festival celebrated each March.

The festival is one of the most -celebrated in India and involves throwing colored powder with loved ones to usher in the brilliance of spring and spread the message of good over evil.

While the holiday itself was on March 20 and March 21, freshman Shelly Bhanot said SASA scheduled its own celebration as close to the holiday as they possibly could. She said celebrating Holi on campus is similar to how she celebrates at home. “The only difference that I can think of is that at home I go to the temple,� Bhanot said. For freshman Anjika Mehta, cel-

The festival of colors, hosted at the Women’s Building, was open to the entire campus community.

ebrating on campus is only a little different because at home, she celebrates with water balloon throwing, as well.

Planning the event involved getting budgets approved and purchasing color supplies. An hour before the festival’s 1 p.m. start, Bhanot and other members of SASA worked to prepare the bags of color.

The most difficult part was securing a venue, said sophomore Prabhanjan Balakrishnan, vice president of SASA. Originally, the event was set to take place indoors in Schine Underground on the actual day of Holi, but SASA was notified the week before spring break that the venue was no longer possible because the powder wouldn’t be allowed indoors. see holi page 8

Dozens of students threw colored powder from small bags to celebrate Holi.

The era of jazz clubs frequenting every street corner now only remains behind glass cases in museums. Larry Blumenfeld, a music critic and former editor-in-chief of JAZZIZ magazine, is helping to bring jazz to the forefront. “Jazz is not a popular music by any stretch of the imagination,� he said, “but this is a timely, hot topic.�

This year, Blumenfeld is Syracuse University’s Jeannette K. Watson Distinguished Visiting Professor. His lecture series, entitled “Jazz in Troubled Times: The Relevance and Resonance of a Culture,� will run from March 25 to April 5, and feature listening experiences, workshops, discussions and concerts from renowned musicians.

Blumenfeld was selected for this honor after Eric Grode, an SU professor and director of the Goldring Arts Journalism program, suggested his name for the invitation.

From there, the two worked closely to curate a list of topics for the event. Unlike some speakers in the past, Blumenfeld’s lecture series will span numerous disciplines — a testament to his own research, Grode said.

We’re in a moment where culture in this country needs to be amplified. %66=Ï 091)2*)0( music critic

“Larry has been as instrumental as anyone in the last decade for just yanking jazz and social justice back together,� Grode said, “and reminding people that when you’re listening to music, you’re also listening to any number of cultures that have converged, sometimes harmoniously sometimes non-harmoniously, to become this thing that we listen to.�

Blumenfeld attended graduate school at Columbia University as a fellow in the National Arts Journalism Program. Once he connected with jazz, Blumenfeld said he explored the deep, rich culture ingrained in the music. Soon after, he began writing about jazz as it pertained to issues of a different caliber, specifically social justice.

Through reporting on musicians and the music itself, Blumenfeld said he could draw connections between jazz and current issues. He cited the United States embargo against Cuba as an example of how music and global issues are intertwined. “Music and culture are the some of the deepest bonds between the U.S. and Cuba and that embargo is an act of violence between that familial connection,� Blumenfeld said. see jazz page 8

“And then we were scrambling to find a different inside, indoors area,” Balakrishnan said. SASA then spoke with Recreation Services to seek other options, but was told nothing indoors was available.

Abhinav Yadava, president of SASA, stressed the importance of celebrating Holi on the day it falls rather than the weekend after — as it affects the number of people who can attend.

Last year, Holi was celebrated at SU on April 28, 57 days after Holi.

While this year’s on-campus festival did not fall on the day of the festival itself, he said hosting it closer to the holiday is better than having it in April.

“I’d rather do it now and have less people show up than have literally no one show up in the middle of April,” Yadava said.

Despite rough weather conditions earlier during the weekend, there were only patches of snow left on the Women’s Building field among the dozens of students and flying powder dust.

Twenty minutes into Sunday’s festival, Yadava spoke with a Department of Public Safety officer who had pulled up next to the Women’s Building to address the noise level.

As the officer drove away, Yadava said they weren’t going to lower the volume since they already had a permit.

Yadava recalls a similar incident at last year’s festival.

“If someone was playing English music, I don’t think they would’ve gotten the same from page 7

More recently — in addition to the numerous publications he writes for — Blumenfeld has assisted with curating and producing jazz festivals, including the Spoleto Festival USA in South Carolina. But equally important, he said, was his research, which brought him to the cities of Chicago and New Orleans.

issue. We want to have fun too,” Yadava said in regard to last year.

Yadava has held office since the beginning of the semester and said the organization continues to grow. While he said SASA currently has 20 members, he added that there’s a new face at every meeting — he hopes SASA will eventually double in size.

For Yadava, the main change he hopes to see is how people perceive SASA, as it represents the diversity of South Asia and encompasses people from all over the world. Balakrishnan said he feels they don’t always get the representation they deserve.

“It’s in progress, but I think that I’d like to see it come up a little more before I graduate because college goes by in the blink of an eye,” Balakrishnan said.

Within half an hour, SASA’s Holi event had grown to more than 50 people. Students came from all corners of the field, some wearing clean white shirts, ready to be coated with vibrant yellows, violets and reds.

For some, Sunday’s Holi festival was a tradition honored since childhood. But for others, it was a holiday they had never celebrated before.

Balakrishnan said the first time he celebrated Holi was on campus at SU. For him, Holi is about community.

“It’s not just brown people coming together,” Balakrishnan said. “We have all sorts of people coming and just having fun, having a good time. That’s what college is.” ddriojas@syr.edu hrober03@syr.edu

realm, Blumenfeld has utilized a portion of his research as a focal point in each lecture. He said he hopes that audience members walk away from his lectures with the answers to questions surrounding jazz’s contribution to society, its invaluable nature and what it means today for the university and world.

Blumenfeld and Grode will host each event of the series, which features performances by Harvard’s Yosvany Terry and pianist Jason Moran — who Blumenfeld described as “one of

the best jazz musicians of our day.”

“You don’t have situations where everyone in the audience can draw upon firsthand experience of jazz music,” Grode said.

“So I think having artists of their caliber helps contextualize and make sense of the stuff being talked about in a theoretical and abstract way.”

Grode added that Blumenfeld will also be doing other events outside of the university, including appearances on radio stations in Rochester and Ithaca. The SU

series has attracted professors and others beyond Syracuse’s campus, especially in part to Terry and Moran’s reputations as seminal jazz artists.

Blumenfeld said he is thrilled by this opportunity and what it can explore in the greater jazz culture.

“My career and my work has led me to feel that culture is precious, and we’re in a moment where culture in this country needs to be amplified,” Blumenfeld said. cmcicchi@syr.edu

ONE DAY MORE “Les MisĂŠrablesâ€? Broadway tour opens run at Landmark Theatre on Tuesday night

T

he cast and crew of the “Les MisĂŠrablesâ€? Broadway tour have a saying they go by each performance: “tonight’s show lives for tonight only.â€? Whether the evening’s show is full of mistakes or their best performance yet, everything is left onstage. “Tomorrow night, there will be another 2,000 people here,â€? Jack McLeod, the show’s production stage manager, said. “You never know those 2,000 stories on the other side of the foot lines, but they’re just important as what we do on our side.â€? “Les MisĂŠrables,â€? the classic musical following the intertwined stories of multiple characters through the start of the French Revolution, opened in Paris in 1980. Since then, it has been performed around the world for an estimated 70 million people. The current Broadway tour will stop at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse, running from Tuesday to Sunday.

McLeod said one of the reasons “Les MisĂŠrablesâ€? has continued to capture audiences for decades is the range of stories it covers. There is a love story, a redemption story and a war story within the show — all of which remain relevant today, he said. The parts of the show that deeply resonate with him today, 30 years after the first time he saw the production, are different than

ĂŹ ĂŹ I JĂŹ ĂŹ ĂŹ play Inspector Javert and Jean Valjean in the Broadway tour. photo courtesy of matthew murphy

the ones that he originally connected with, he added.

J. Anthony Crane, who plays Monsieur ThĂŠnardier, described audiences’ response to the show as “tsunami-esque.â€? “This is pure emotional reaction to an amazing story, and it’s so fun to be a part of,â€? he said.

Crane also has a deep emotional connection to the story: the first time he saw the show when he was 14, he said he sobbed throughout the entire thing.

Being a part of the show on such a major scale, he said, has been a gift.

“You really do feel like you’re a part of something so special, and you don’t feel like the story will ever be in danger of not being told,� Crane said.

In preparing for his role as ThĂŠnardier, Crane said he made sure to play him as if there was no line he wouldn’t cross. ThĂŠnardier is one of the main antagonists of “Les MisĂŠrablesâ€? — Crane described him as a truly terrible person.

But the forte of playing a villain is nothing strange for Crane, having previously performed as Scar in the first national tour of “The Lion King.�

“This is probably the only role in the play I could ever play,� Crane said.

Tim Quartier, one of six swings in the cast, has had to embody many different roles throughout his time in the show. In fact, when Quartier first joined the cast, he was responsible for 11 roles.

Swings learn multiple roles in case of an absence in the cast. When an understudy takes over in a main role, a member of the swing will usually play the character they left behind.

When he first began filling in, Quartier said he primarily copied what the original actors had done in the roles. Now that he has been with the show for a year, Quartier said he finds it much easier to put his own spin on his performance. “Now I feel very comfortable doing my own thing, and the cast is very cool with it as well,� Quartier said.

The tight-knit relationship between cast members is one of the things McLeod said has stood out to him the most during the tour. After almost two years of performances, McLeod said being on the road away from home can be incredibly difficult, but having the cast as a support system makes it worthwhile. At the end of the day, McLeod added, it’s all about honoring the musical itself. “You catch magic in a bottle on this one,� he said. “It’s rare to find a tour or a cast or a company that gets along and genuinely loves each other as much as we do, and it shows on stage.� hklinder@syr.edu

Asa Goldstock sparks Syracuse’s comeback win at goal

By Anthony Dabbundo asst. copy editor

Syracuse’s comeback victory was nearly complete. Asa Goldstock made a save and looked to clear the ball up the field to start the Orange counterattack. Only this time, Goldstock launched the ball more than 40 yards to Megan Carney. The pass never made it to the freshman attack.

Syracuse fans groaned. One screamed “Why,” as the ball was in the air and Goldstock had played such a risky pass in a tie game with four minutes to play.

The pass found an SU stick, though it wasn’t Carney’s. Nicole Levy jumped in the air, corralled the ball and led the attack that ended in the game-winning goal by Emily Hawryschuk.

“I saw they were both there,” Goldstock said. “I knew one of them would get it.”

No. 4 Syracuse (10-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) rallied from three goals down in the second half to defeat No. 8 Notre Dame (9-1, 2-1), 10-9, on Sunday afternoon at Christian Brothers Acadfrom page 12

overtime effectively eliminated SU’s margin for error in its conference slate.

In the past two games, the Orange have gone down early, made runs and provided fourth-quarter heroics to sneak away with wins. SU has erased four goal deficits the past two weeks against Johns Hopkins and Rutgers, respectively.

Earlier this week, players and head coach John Desko warned against digging the same hole against Duke. The No. 2 team in the country wouldn’t afford the same opportunities to come back. The Blue Devils defense was too good, their offense too relentless to play from behind.

But at halftime on Sunday, it was a similar scene. Duke’s bench happily marched to the

emy. The comeback wouldn’t have happened if not for Goldstock, who posted 11 saves, tied for the second-most in any game this season. And on the final goal, Goldstock’s pass caught the transitioning UND defense off-guard.

“I know I can get it there,” Goldstock said of her long clear. “It’s all about the last 20 times I had cleared it in the game, they had a defensive clear set. ... That time I saw an opening.”

Goldstock had a long clear before that resulted in a turnover, but she tried again with the game on the line.

“You ask yourself, ‘Why would you throw that,’” SU head coach Gary Gait said of Goldstock’s previous errant pass. “Sometimes it doesn’t go exactly the way you draw it up, but you make the plays when you need them.”

When Syracuse needed plays as its offense sputtered, Goldstock made them. Midway through the first half, Goldstock denied Maddie Howe on a free-position shot. As Howe ran in toward goal, she fired high, and Goldstock tipped the ball into the air, then turned around

and caught it.

Not only was that save No. 400 for Goldstock, making her the fourth player in program history to reach that total, but she finished with 11 saves in total and a .550 save percentage.

“She made timely saves, in the second half she shut the door, and every time they had a goal to extend the lead, she made the stops,” Gait said.

Howe broke through the SU defense and came face-to-face with Goldstock. She had scored three first-half goals and dominated Syracuse until the Orange changed their defense to match her.

While SU’s defense changed its approach on Howe, opting to faceguard her with Allyson Trice, Goldstock remained a constant. Five times, the Fighting Irish asked questions. Each time she had the answer.

The Fighting Irish only found nylon one time in the second half when Howe finished over Goldstock’s right shoulder.

With 23 minutes left in the game, Samantha Giacolone earned a free position attempt. The Orange hadn’t beaten Notre Dame the last two seasons, and Goldstock said that was in the back of her mind. Trailing by three goals, another goal could have ended the game.

“I thought a lot about how we had never beaten Notre Dame since I had been here,” Goldstock said. “I was nervous this morning, but I knew this team was nothing like the last two teams we had here.”

Goldstock made one save high, then another low moments later, before picking up the ball with her hand. One section of the SU home crowd shouted and yelled her name as the momentum shifted toward the Orange in their late-game charge.

“Asa!” “Asa!” “Asa!” one section yelled.

While Hawryschuk scored two goals late to finish off the comeback, it began 100 yards away, on Goldstock’s stick.

locker room, while the Orange slogged off the field. The Blue Devils were on a 3-0 run and SU didn’t score again until Jamie Trimboli snuck a shot past Uppgren in the third quarter, after a nearly 29-minute SU drought.

Duke cobbled together its own offense while burying Syracuse’s. Quickly, the Blue Devils ran out to a 3-0 lead, leaning on star defenders Cade Van Raaphorst and JT Giles-Harris to lock off SU’s attacks and generate turnovers.

All through the first half, whenever the Orange worked the ball inside — to Bradley Voigt, Nate Solomon or Stephen Rehfuss — a stick or body came thrashing, knocking the ball free and jump-starting Duke’s offense.

Through most of the game, the best consistent look SU’s offense generated were outside shots from Curry on alley dodges — his shots that weren’t easily saved sailed over the cage

Out of halftime, the game slowed to a crawl. Syracuse scored the only goal of the third quarter. It seemed the Blue Devils were happy to sit on their lead and constrict SU out of the game.

Then Syracuse parlayed a Duke penalty with 6:19 remaining into a man-up goal 33 seconds later to make it 8-5. Voigt made it 8-6.

The Orange adjusted to stay away from the crease — a vortex where the Orange coughed up possession all game — and create more space to facilitate offense.

“We cleaned out the crease and just had one player in there and that probably changed their slide package,” Desko said. “In a hot game like this, when you do that, the defense has to adjust and it takes a little time.”

After the game, Rehfuss said he noticed the space and his defender slouching off so he naturally drifted. Nate Solomon found him

with a pass and Rehfuss lowered his stick to shoulder level, picking the upper-right corner — Uppgren’s weak side — sending the packed bleachers into hysterics.

SU won the ensuing faceoff. Desko took a timeout and with no shot clock, Curry took the ball and paced across the top of the alley before flying down the right side and whipping a shot off the pipe.

For a second, it felt like the Orange’s thirdstraight comeback was not to be completed.

Curry had missed 11-straight and Duke’s stout defense surely allowed the best remaining chance. The Blue Devils’ offense only needed one shot.

Instead, Syracuse kept attacking and Curry kept shooting. His first goal all afternoon secured SU’s biggest win of the year and kept ACC title hopes alive.

from page 12

in the second half, Syracuse was face-guarding Howe. Alexa Radziewicz, playing on her high school’s turf, received a yellow card. Howe wasn’t being covered as close with Radziewicz out of the game, beat Allyson Trice and scored UND’s lone goal of the second half.

Sam Swart responded quickly to Howe’s goal.

Two minutes later, Cara Quimby caught a pass from Vanessa Constantino and shot into the net reducing’s Syracuse deficit to just one with six minutes left.

After a timeout, Notre Dame won the ensuing faceoff but turned the ball over. It was taken up the field and Hawryschuk was awarded a free position shot. She stood on the arc and blasted a top-shelf goal to tie the game.

With less than a minute left, Syracuse gained possession and called a timeout. When the game resumed, Swart took the ball and ran around the field to keep from turning it over. She ran literal circles around UND players before Kathleen Roe pushed Swart from behind causing the sophomore to fall and drop the ball. Roe received a yellow card.

As the final whistle blew, Goldstock chucked the ball 50 yards and her team ran out to meet her.

“We’re playing ACC games so the play’s getting higher,” Widner said. “It’s getting more intense and it’s getting more exciting to have those ‘dog fights’ as coach (Regy) Thorpe likes to say.”

Used to practicing and playing inside, the Orange didn’t get a chance to practice at CBA’s field before Sunday’s game, Hawryschuk said.

Syracuse scored first when senior Nicole Levy ran around the net and flipped the ball in but Notre Dame answered quickly. ND took the lead a moment later when Andie Aldave caught the ball from Maddie Howe, cradled a few times and fired it past SU’s goalkeeper Asa Goldstock.

Syracuse tied it up, then flipped the lead again. Then, Howe reciprocated the tie for Notre Dame, and the Fighting Irish bench broke into the chorus of DJ Ötzi’s “Hey Baby” with players harmonizing, “Hey baby, ooh, ahh, I wanna know if you’ll be my girl.”

The Orange wouldn’t regain the lead after that goal until Hawryschuk’s game-winner. .

“Great second half for the defense,” SU head coach Gary Gait said. “We finally got the offense going at the end, got the four goals we needed and finished the game.”

Goldstock had six saves in the second half and Notre Dame went into a 20-minute scoring drought. During UND’s inability to score from page 12

porter create space, but it was stymied. By watching film earlier in the week, Porter had analyzed Duke’s shooting motions and matched sticks with Duke’s litany of double-digit point scorers.

“Not only did we do well shutting (Smith) down but it also threw off the chemistry of their offense,” Porter said.

In overtime, after Syracuse’s offense propelled it forward, the Blue Devils won the opening draw. Feet planted in front of the crease, Porter readied. He knew he’d face at least one shot, so he cleared his head. He said he didn’t anticipate where a shot would go, he just reached.

Duke ran another pick-and-roll from the midfield. Leadmon flung one at Porter who stopped it and launched upfield. Just more than 60 seconds later, though, the ball worked its way to Kevin Quigley as SU couldn’t capitalize.

His ensuing shot was deflected by an Orange defender and scooped by Porter. A successful clear and a shot by Curry queued another late-game celebration and another win for Porter, who’s been everything Syracuse expected him to be.

“We may have gotten punched in the mouth early,” Porter said. “But no one was panicking. We stuck to our game plan and we made some adjustments.” nialvare@syr.edu @nick_a_alvarez

Syracuse topples No. 2 Duke in thirdstraight fourth-quarter comeback

Hawryschuk takes over in fourth quarter of 10-9 win over No. 8 Notre Dame

By Andrew Graham senior staff writer

C

ICERO — Syracuse midfielder Brendan Curry took 11 shots and missed all of them.

His 11th, with less than 15 seconds left in regulation of an 8-8 tie, whizzed from his right side across the face of Duke goalie Turner Uppgren, zipping off the corner where the crossbar and opposite post meet. As the white rubber ball careened skyward, Curry looked back, half raising his arms in exasperation.

But working on the goal line to Uppgren’s right a few minutes later in overtime, Curry pushed toward the crease, jumped, raised his stick and pushed the ball into the net. Nearly 5,000 fans at Michael J. Bragman Sta-

dium erupted into a frenzy as Curry’s orange and white clad teammates mobbed him.

“It did get tough towards the end, like, ‘C’mon,’” Curry said, “but Nate found me and luckily I buried it.”

Curry’s lone goal Sunday, an overtime winner on his 12th shot, dispatched No. 2 Duke (8-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) 9-8 at Cicero-North Syracuse High School and kept No. 12 Syracuse (5-2, 1-1) alive in the ACC. Despite scoring only three goals through the first 51-plus minutes, the Orange burst to life in the final seven and a half, scoring six of the last seven goals to force overtime and win.

In a conference of five teams, even one loss can prevent a regular season title. A 15-14 February loss to Virginia in see duke page 10

here were three minutes left on the clock. Syracuse hadn’t led since the first half but was chipping away at Notre Dame’s lead and coming off a game-tying goal from a free position opportunity, Emily Hawryschuk had the ball again. She came from the back of the net, spun around and shot low, hitting nylon after a oneon-one with Notre Dame’s goalkeeper.

Hawryschuk completed a 5-1 scoring run in the final minutes of the second half, and capped a run of four unanswered scores for the Orange.

The No. 8 Fighting Irish (9-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast) almost served No. 4 Syracuse (10-2, 3-1) its third loss of the season, but a

strong second-half performance made up for Syracuse’s struggles in the first half in a 10-9 win. The Orange struggled to score in the first but netted three goals in the final eight minutes to win their fourth-straight.

“It was just offense stepping up and doing their job,” Hawryschuk said. “defense held them to one goal in the second half. I mean that’s awesome.”

The win over Notre Dame mimicked a win over then-No. 4 Northwestern more than a month ago. Both games had Syracuse scoring three more goals after the seven-minute mark and in both games, it came down to a game-winning goal by Hawryschuk.

But the difference between the two: location. The Orange on Sunday played in Syracuse, but there was no block “S” in the see notre

Drake Porter shuts down Duke in 2nd half of 9-8 win

By Nick Alvarez

asst. sports editor

CICERO — Postgame, after the mosh of white jerseys nearly tackled Brendan Curry in the far corner of the end zone, Drake Porter could only smile and shake his head.

Syracuse had done it. Again.

Three weeks and PORTER three fourthquarter comebacks. And through it all, there was Porter — SU’s stabilizing goalie that’s been a standout.

“I think even we may have been doubting it a little bit,” Porter said.

“We just let the emotions go and have fun. It was an awesome time, we were playing loose on D.” Porter entered the game with the 11th-best save-percentage in the nation (.556) and has tallied at least 11 saves in each game. Sunday was no different. Through yet another offensive firestorm, a renewed defensive effort and 12 saves by Porter, No. 12 Syracuse (5-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast) upset No. 2 Duke (8-2, 0-1), 10-9, at Michael J. Bragman Stadium.

The Blue Devils wanted to “spread the net” and attack Porter from different angles, Porter said. Porter remained calm and retained the mindset that’s carried him to his current role on one of the hottest teams in the nation.

“If you’re a Duke fan, maybe you say we didn’t shoot the ball as smartly as we could have, especially inside,” Duke head coach John Danowski said. “But you got to tip your cap and say (Porter) made the plays that were in front of him.”

Number of shots Drake Porter saved against No. 2 Duke on Sunday

To start Sunday’s contest, a season-long struggle still hindered SU’s

defense. Duke featured the “biglittle” invert that Virginia popularized in its Carrier Dome win three weeks ago. The Blue Devils operated from behind the cage, “isolating the weakness,” Porter said.

Sophomore attack Joe Robertson worked his way near the crease, broke down his assignment and scored, earning a crease-push penalty in the process. On the ensuing man-up, Duke worked it around SU’s zone and scored.

A minute later, two Orange defenders charged Garrett Leadmon to only watch the ball fly past him as Duke established a three-goal lead. After Leadmon scored, Porter walked in a circle and readied for the next shot.

Syracuse dropped into a zone

whenever a Duke ball-handler went behind. The passing lanes closed and Duke’s attack mustered fewer high-quality chances. The Blue Devils managed two scores, entering halftime with a 6-2 lead, but the counter had worked. Duke didn’t primarily use “big-little” schemes in the second half.

In the third quarter, Porter didn’t allow a goal. The defense — which featured Nick Mellen shutting down Duke’s Brad Smith — synched in. Porter totaled three saves, Duke committed five turnovers and SU brought the margin to three.

Porter soon identified Duke’s own adjustment. The Blue Devils tried screens from the midfield to see porter page 10
