Syracuse attackman cleared

Cody Jamieson has cleared the NCAA scrutiny of his junior college records and is free to play for the rest of this season and next season with the Syracuse Orange. Jamieson was a star for the last two years at Onondaga Community College, along with Syracuse defender Sid Smith (2006) He led the junior college program to two undefeated seasons and two national titles. While at OCC, Jamieson scored 237 points. He’s the left-handed attackman Syracuse really needs to become dangerous for the playoffs. If he’s ready and playing well, he makes Syracuse a different team in the postseason than we’ve been seeing. Cody and Sid also starred for the silver-medal winning Iroquois national indoor team at the World Indoor Lacrosse Championship in 2007. Sid might be the fastest person I’ve ever seen on a lacrosse floor.

An off year for Towson

People have long written off Towson this season, but after what I saw last night against Hopkins in a double-overtime loss, I think the Tigers are just as likely to win the CAA as Hofstra, the No. 1 seed, and I would not want to be the top team that gets to play them in the first round of the NCAAs if they do take the auto-bid.
