Here are a few things that stand out to me when it comes to Saturday's matchup at 2:00 EST in Evanston.

The Syracuse women's lacrosse team extended its win streak to three with a 17-12 victory over Boston College Wednesday evening at the Newton Campus Lacrosse Field. The Orange improved to 5-2 on the year, while the Eagles fell to 4-6.

The No. 5 Syracuse women's lacrosse team is on the road this week, starting with the Eagles of Boston College on Wednesday before its much anticipated rematch of last year's national championship against No. 4 Northwestern on Saturday.

Lost in the madness of the weekend was the fact that the Syracuse Orange men's lacrosse team lost to the 1-5 Villanova Wildcats.

The Orange kicked off BIG EAST play with a dominating performance over the Huskies. The 18-7 win propelled the Orange to 6-0 in conference openers.

Sure, there's a good chance that you're focused on the Syracuse Orange men's basketball game against the California Golden Bears this Saturday. However, you should know there are other big SU games going on as well...

When you think of high school lacrosse powerhouses in Central New York, Westhill (Syracuse, N.Y.), doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

The Orange dominated the Friars 18-9 thanks to a balanced attack and another strong performance by their "other" goalie.

Behind a quick-scoring offense, stout defense and surprising performance by the backup goalie, the Orange took down their big rival and reasserted themselves into the national discussion.

The Orange are allowing the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays into the Carrier Dome at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday for the right to lose for the 23rd time in their storied history.
