The Juice Online: What’s been the biggest difference with Syracuse lacrosse during the four-game win streak?

Eamon McAnaney: Unfortunately, it’s pretty obvious because you can only really point to one spot that was so different and that’s the faceoff game. That was the glaring problem throughout the year and it blew up in the Duke game. Chris Daddio has done a tremendous job of not only battling there and doing 50/50 there, but also winning his battles. When you left Durham and you looked and who they had left with Liam O’Connor of Notre Dame, Doug Tesoriero at Cornell and R.G. Keenan of North Carolina, it doesn’t get any easier. And he’s done a great job in winning those battles and his wingmen have helped with Peter Macartney getting the ball to the offense. Which, even in the games they’ve lost, specifically the Virginia game, you could tell how efficient they were and how well they played together in the 6-on-6. It starts right there with Chris Daddio turning his season around.
