Syracuse Lacrosse: 2016 Potential Record Book Breakers

In preparation for the upcoming season, I wanted to take a look at the Syracuse Orange record book. We have several players who will be attempting to cement themselves into the statistical history of SU. Attackman Dylan Donahue should be able to break into the top ten for career goals, as he is just 18 behind tying Mike Leveille at the #10 spot. Ben Williams is currently the leader in career faceoff winning percentage, and should enter the top ten in career groundballs, faceoff wins, and faceoff attempts. Additionally, it should be noted that the NCAA record for career faceoff winning percentage is held by Steve Shaw of Delaware at .707, just 3.3 percentage points ahead of Williams' 67.4 winning percentage. Finally, Brandon Mullins is #5 in career caused turnovers, and should finish this year at the #2 or #3 spot.
