It's still a tall task for the inconsistent Orange (16-11, 5-8 Big East), but it's the mission starting Tuesday on the road against No. 21 DePaul (20-7, 8-5 Big East) at 9 p.m.

Lettin' It Rip With Sean Lindsay | Lacrosse All Stars
My entire life growing up, starting from when I started playing lacrosse at 10 years old, all I ever wanted to do was play in the Carrier Dome, and win National Championship for Syracuse. If I had to choose a school to play at right now, in the year 2012, that wasn’t Cuse, I would go to Michigan.
