Syracuse Lacrosse: Salcido and Mariano named midseason All-Americans

Salcido leads the Orange in assists with 16 and ranks 11^th in the country in assists per game. He has eight goals to give him 24 points in 2017. Nick Mariano has been featured on the attack and midfield this year is tied for a team high 15 goals while leading SU in points with 26. Overall, not much of a surprise for Syracuse.
