It was around 7 p.m. in Santiago, Chile, and he was inside with his host family.  Andino Borrero, a Syracuse University junior studying abroad in Chile, didn’t have much of a choice. A curfew was in effect, so he had to stay inside. It was three days since

bout two months after they agreed to the building’s demise, hundreds of congregants shuffled into the front entrance of the Temple Society of Concord for Rosh Hashanah. The elderly took their walkers to the wooden pews leading up to the bima. Children headed to a back door for the children’s service. Rabbi Daniel Fellman stood on the bima and looked out at hundreds of members that came to the historic temple on the corner of Madison Street and University Avenue. It was one of the last times the room would be filled. “On this day we are called to look ahead, to embrace the new and keep it as we preserve the old,” Fellman told the congregation. “This day we see the two: old and new.” The Temple Society of Concord, 108 years old, will likely be converted into luxury student apartments in less than a year.

protests had erupted in Santiago. He turned around again.  “That’s a helicopter, like a military one. Give me a second. Can you hear it?” Andino Borrero asked. SU students studying abroad in Chile remain in the country as it experiences ongoing protests that started on Oct. 18. The protests began after the price for the Santiago metro system was raised by 30 pesos, or four cents in the United States.  All university classes have been

canceled except for those led by the Syracuse Abroad program, said Erika Wilkens, executive director of SU Abroad, in an email. Classes from partner universities were set to resume on Nov. 4. “We are in constant communication with our students,” Wilkens said. “To note, students live in neighborhoods that have not been directly impacted by the protests in any significant way.” SU students studying abroad see chile page 8

A Syracuse University alumnus has pledged $5.48 million toward scholarships and other endowed funds at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Elliot Stamler, Class of 1960, has named SU as a beneficiary of his estate, the university announced Wednesday. Stamler’s gift is one of several seven-figure giftsrecently made to SU ahead of the largest fundraising campaign in university history. The $5.48 million gift from Stamler will support and create more than six endowed funds for undergraduate students, graduate assistantships and faculty, according to a Wednesday SU News release. His donation will also fund the Hillel Gift Receipt Agency Account and the Maxwell Dean’s Discretionary Fund. Stamler, 80, graduated from SU with a degree in political science. He earned a MBA from Columbia University in 1965 and joined Columbia Pictures Television/Screen Gems Inc. as an advertising/publicity executive. Stamler later formed his own investment company, Northstar Assets. “My gift to Maxwell is crucially important at this time, I believe, because democracy in our country is at a precarious point,” Stamler said in the release. “Maxwell through its students and alumni is a potent, positive force now and in the future for the preservation of our democracy.” Another major donation to SU comes from lifetime Board of Trustees member Robert Miron and his wife Diane. Their $7 million donation, announced Monday, will help create a connection between the Carrier Dome and the Barnes Center at The Arch. The Mirons have also donated to support SU’s libraries through the Blackstone LaunchPad, student services and the creation of student spaces. SU will hold a reception on Friday to show the campus community its “bold vision for the future,” according to an event listing. The Kick-Off Celebration and Cocktail Reception will start at 5:30 p.m. in Goldstein Auditorium. The university is constructing a pavilion area on the Quad for the Friday event. Chancellor Kent Syverud addressed the upcoming capital campaign at last week’s University Senate meeting. The campaign, which he referred to as the “Forever Orange Campaign,” will focus on increasing SU’s endowment cdarnell@syr.edu

Sprinkler bursts, damages property in Day Hall By Richard J Chang asst. copy editor

A sprinkler burst in the fifth-floor hallway of Day Hall on Oct. 30, causing water to flood the floor and damage students’ property.   A student who lives on the floor was tossing his room key to a friend down the hallway when it got caught on the sprinkler and broke it, several students told The Daily Orange. Grace Sollberger said she was asleep when she heard a loud noise in the hallway. Her friend opened the door to take a look before black water started rushing into the room. Sollberger tried to pick up as many of her possessions she could off the floor before the water reached them. Her duffel bag, a pair of shoes, a rug and standing light were damaged.   Freshman Alexis Brown said she was coming from the bathroom when she saw the hallway flooding with water. She smelled gasoline. The sprinkler burst right across

Zoe Anderson said the university cleaned the mess quickly, but the carpet still has mold that gives students allergic reactions. “Yes, the university fixed what they could,” she said. “But it’s not fully solved because we have to live with the mold left over.” Anderson said university staff told her a key jamming the sprinkler was a one-in-a-million chance, which at first led them to believe the incident was intentional.

Nonprofit builds outdoor performance, fitness center By Haley Robertson editor-in-chief

Construction is complete on a performance and fitness center that will bring creative spaces and programming to residents of the Near Westside neighborhood.  A former parking lot, Performance Park will serve as a multifaceted outdoor venue on Wyoming Street, complete with an outdoor stage and fitness equipment. The park is an expansion of the Near Westside Initiative’s indoor theater complex, SALTspace, that opened earlier this year.  “Looking good, looking good. Every day it looks better,” said Gregorio Jimenez, executive director of the Near Westside Initiative, as he walked along the newly-paved driveway in early September. “I blink my eye sometimes and they change the whole place.” A ribbon cutting ceremony for the space from page 1

temple Greater Syracuse area. For the past few months, Fellman has embraced this turning point. The building no longer fits the demands of the congregation. He tries to remind the congregation of the “long view” — that the temple is 108 years old, but the congregation is 180 years old. He asked the congregation that morning to envision a new building, one that would fit the values of the temple better. One with greater accessibility, better parking and a thriving religious school. “Today, we can be revolutionaries, too,” he told the congregants. “We stand on the cusp of unexplored possibilities.” ••• Ken Steiger walked through Temple Concord’s front doors 10 minutes before the service started. He wore a tallit and sat near the front, right next to the bima. Four months into his presidency on the temple’s board of trustees, much of the uncertainty surrounding the synagogue’s future fell on his shoulders. He passed two signs bookending the front doors. “Why are YOU a member of Temple Concord?” one read. “What is YOUR wish for Temple Concord in 5780?” said the other. Sticky notes with children’s handwriting covered each sign in reply. “More good feelings about our future,” one note read. “To find a new home that meets our needs,” read another. Steiger has attempted to preserve what he calls the “why” — why members are drawn to the temple, what shapes its identity and how it stays relevant in central New York. For decades, trustee presidents were in charge of balancing Temple Concord’s values with often-conflicting business decisions.  The pews were filled on Rosh Hashanah because they were free of charge to the public. Their religious school is one of their largest costs, but is still running because education is a core value. Both cost money, but both provide something trustees believe the congregation needs. These are “spiritual decisions,” said Jea-

will take place in the spring, Jimenez said. The Near Westside Initiative is a community partnership that looks to revitalize the Near Westside neighborhood.  The park space will help facilitate more community programming and partnerships with other organizations, Jimenez said. He envisions public dance classes and competitions, along with group fitness classes like yoga and Pilates. Jimenez grew up in the Near Westside neighborhood, and although he was more into sports as a kid, his childhood friends loved hip-hop.  “A lot of our community members express themselves through performing. Through music, through dance,” he said.  Events and programming for the park are in the beginning stages of planning, Jimenez said. There are no formal plans for the winter yet, but he’s hoping to hold a snowman contest in the park. The Performance Park project is years in

the making. Talks started in 2012, but it wasn’t until Jimenez took over as Near Westside Initiative director in September 2018 that the project took off.  Construction on the lot began in July. Steve Cronk, project supervisor, said in September that the project had been going smoothly so far. There were no complaints from anyone living near the construction site, he said.  “That’s big when you’re working in the city and you hear backup alarms and everything,” Cronk said. “Not one complaint.” Performance Park will help meet the community’s needs for more creative spaces, Jimenez said. The lot will feature an outdoor stage, built-in seating and basic fitness equipment for pullups and pushups. It’s wheelchair accessible and open on all sides, making for one of the most inclusive public spaces the neighborhood has. Underground electrical wires run through

the lot to allow food trucks and other vendors to power up for special events. The park has a rainwater collection system using porous asphalt and an infiltration basin, available through a grant with Save the Rain, a stormwater management plan for Onondaga County.  The Near Westside Initiative partners with local organizations including Syracuse University, the Gifford Foundation, WCNY, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse and Hillside Family of Agencies. In his previous role at the initiative, Jimenez worked directly with local youth. He looks to keep kids distracted from negative events happening in their lives.  The park has the potential to thrive as a community-focused space, especially for younger generations, Jimenez said.  “So, they can stay motivated, so they can learn; they can network; they can stay focused on the positive,” he said. “It looks promising to me.”

nette Myshrall, a current trustee who formerly served as president and treasurer. These decisions often go against the traditional approach to running a business, she said. With each spiritual decision came endowment campaigns and volunteer hours. “In a business where you’re looking to make a profit, it’s all about the profit,” she said. “Here, it’s all about the people.”

decision to sell the temple is “gut-wrenching.”  The temple voted overwhelmingly for the sale, though. Their reserves were shrinking, and so was their endowment. “The financial reality is this is what could save the congregation down the road,” Lefkowicz said.  ••• Samuel Gruber, a preservationist and part-time instructor of art history at SU, has been a member of Temple Concord for 25 years. But lately he’s mulled over how much longer he’ll stay. He helped survey 80 religious institutions around Syracuse in 2014. Many have maintenance problems and are on the cusp of closing in the next decade, he said.  This is a trend familiar to Syracuse and other Rust Belt cities, Gruber said. South Presbyterian Church, on South Salina Street, closed in 2006. St. John the Evangelist closed in 2010. First Presbyterian Church United on West Genesee Street soon followed. Several

have cited declining membership and financial burdens. Many more places of worship may fold in the next decade, he said. “The future is not good for most of the religious properties in the city of Syracuse,” Gruber said. Temple membership has increased slightly from 280 to 350 families in in the last decade though it’s far from the 800 families that were enrolled 40 years ago, Syracuse.com reported. Now, the board of trustees is attempting to take a business decision and make it spiritual — sell their temple and enhance their identity, not dissolve it. “You can go through change or you can get stuck in change,” Steiger said. “You get stuck in change when you deal with the human side of change, which is all about dealing with the loss.  “Resistance is normal when dealing with that loss.”

Today we can be revolutionaries, too. We stand on the cusp of unexplored possibilities. Daniel Fellman temple concord rabbi

Time and again trustees toyed with the idea of selling the building until the offer of $9 million came to them, which is over $5 million more than the property’s worth, according to county property records. They almost launched a daycare center to open a stream of revenue. It never opened. They thought of renting out parking spaces to students living off-campus. The profit would be minimal.  If the deal goes through, they will have more money to spend on programs rather than maintenance. Without the sale, Steiger estimated that the congregation would go out of business in three years. Myshrall estimated about five years.  At a Friday Shabbat service in early October, Meryl and Jeff Lefkowicz strolled out of the Benjamin Bernstein Memorial Chapel, a side room down the hall from the main chapel. They were two of the 40 congregants who came regularly on Friday nights. Their daughters held their bat mitzvahs there more than three decades ago. Meryl Lefkowicz likes the fact that she prays where others have for the past century. Jeff Lefkowicz, the treasurer and one of the trustees, said the

SU needs to stop asking debt-ridden students to ‘Boost the ‘Cuse’

U hosted its third annual 44-hour giving initiative, Boost the ‘Cuse, this week. The fundraising campaign started at 4 a.m. Nov. 5 and lasted through 11:59 p.m. the next day. Syracuse put on a show — dozens of emails and texts, social media posts, hashtags, giant stopwatches projected on university buildings, leaderboards, realtime updates, scavenger hunts, visits from Otto the Orange, a loaded french fry bar. Nearly 6,000 donors collectively raised upward of $1,692,000. The university achieved its goal. But it exploited its students, alumni and faculty to do it. Boost the ‘Cuse may be an exciting rallying cry for SU’s well-off and well-connected donors and alumni. But for many students and recent grads, it’s an insulting money grab from the university they paid nearly $70,000 to attend each year — an ingenuine attempt by their alma mater to cash in on the imagined Syracuse community. SU broke its fundraising record

for the 2019 fiscal year, bringing in more than $163 million. Nearly 16,000 donors contributed. And yet SU advertised its “legendary” two day money-raising campaign like it was a game show. Donors could unlock challenges by giving, and they could meticulously track their contributions online. The problem is about more than SU spamming the Orange community with pleas to contribute to its vague fundraising goals. It’s about universities relentlessly campaigning for donations from students and recent alumni in a country where the current balance of outstanding student loans is about 1/14 of the nation’s total GDP. It’s about universities so out of touch with the reality of higher education that their administrations think it’s appropriate to fiercely lobby for pocket change from the students their institutions have bankrupted. But Boost the ‘Cuse isn’t framed like that. Instead it’s framed as the realization of a massive Syracuse

family — a group of wildly diverse people uniting around a mutual admiration for their university. In an SU-sent email spotlighting the “Syracuse student experience,” a senior said she hopes “others will see that Boosting the ’Cuse is a way to honor all that Syracuse University gave them during their time on campus — and beyond.” “This is the place that gave people the start for their careers and provided great memories along the way,” she said. That storybook fondness of days spent in college isn’t the reality for most students, though. They likely made great memories and met some life-long friends and mentors. But their college experience probably came at a cost few find themselves in the position to easily or quickly overcome. The Syracuse community, as Boost the ‘Cuse portrays it, is symbolic. It’s a socially constructed university that only exists in the imaginations of those lucky and privileged enough to visit. Hefty

donations by faculty to the dean’s fund of the school that employs them, donations by coaches to the sporting programs they guide, $1 contributions from last year’s graduates — it’s about constructing an enviable SU. Alumni gifts, college ranking boards like the Princeton Review claim, can show how much students like their schools and how well they have done since graduating. The $1,475,000 raised by thousands may just be a drop in the bucket in terms of SU’s $954.7 million operating expenses in the 2018 fiscal year — money they don’t really need — but it’s critical for manufacturing a perceived reality. America’s college graduates are struggling to find full-time jobs or working far below their level of education. The average student loan debt per person is $31,172. But what matters is that donation — a donation most students will likely never see the benefits of. Maybe they’ll ride one of the trolleys it helped fund or walk on

one of the sidewalks it help pave. Maybe they’ll enjoy state-of-the-art facilities it paid for. But maybe they won’t. Maybe they’re a graduate student struggling to make a living wage working at SU. Maybe they’re a freshman barely able to afford textbooks for their required introduction-level classes. The Daily Orange Editorial Board wants Syracuse to do well. But it calls upon the university’s administrators to be more thoughtful about the way they emphatically solicit money from the people they claim they’re trying to help.

The Daily Orange Editorial Board serves as the voice of the organization and aims to contribute the perspectives of students to discussions that concern Syracuse University and the greater Syracuse community.

More than ‘winter blues’ for students

he way society talks about seasonal affective disorder only trivializes the reality of the disorder. And it’s these attitudes that make it challenging for people who actually suffer from the disorder from speaking out and getting the help they need. It’s more than just “cabin fever” or “the winter blues.” About 5% of adults in the United States suffer from seasonal affective disorder, better known as “seasonal depression” or “SAD,” according to the American Psychiatric Center. Benjamin Domingo, director of SU’s Health Services, said less exposure to the sun has the potential to affect students academically, socially and physically. “It can affect student life because it can be easier to miss class because you really are unable to get up in the morning,” said Domingo. “It can affect people socially because they’re less willing to go out, and you know, interact with others. It can affect them physically because of weight gain. About 65% of people who have seasonal affective disorder gain weight during that time frame.” The risk of seasonal depression also varies depending on factors like gender, location, family medical history, personal health and age.

THRIVING WHILE DYING example, seasonal affective disorder is diagnosed four times more in women than men. It’s also more prevalent in northeast states than those further south. Younger adults are known to be more likely to develop seasonal depression. In a 2017 study of about 48,000 college students, 64% of students reported that they had felt “very lonely” in the previous 12 months. Only 19% said they never felt lonely, according to the American College Health Association. These preexisting feelings of loneliness and stress can make certain people more vulnerable to the effects of seasonal affective disorder. And the ways in which they cope with these feelings, or the sorts of behavior that might perpetuate them, often impact the degree to which seasonal depression takes hold. While the causes of seasonal affective disorder remain unknown, research has found some clues, including your sleep-wake cycle and hormone levels. The reduced level of sunlight in fall and winter can disrupt your body’s internal clock, cause a drop in serotonin, and disrupt the balance of the body’s level of melatonin, Asst.

Gellis, Ph.D., associate teaching professor of psychology at the Syracuse University College of Arts & Sciences, recommends getting sunlight in the morning. “If you can get bright light in the early morning, hopefully that will help reset that clock, and so, you’ll be able to have a regular sleep pattern, which may make it less likely that either you’ll be susceptible to it or potentially have treated it as well,” Gellis said. “People with more severe cases, there’s obviously some medication choices but it’s not really an eitheror,” said Domingo. “If someone had a severe case you would want them to do all those things including psychotherapy, but specifically, cognitive-behavioral therapy because that really just helps you reframe things,” said Domingo. Seasonal depression is no joke, especially when college students in the Northeast often have traits and live in environments that make them especially prone to it. Seasonal depression knowledge and awareness is crucial for SU students to thrive during college.

Syracuse wins 4th straight match in 5 sets over Eagles By Nick Economides staff writer

After winning three straight games over North Carolina State, Notre Dame and Louisville, Syracuse (9-11, 6-7 Atlantic Coast) extended its win streak to four in a come-from-behind, five-set victory over Boston College (17-9, 8-5) on Wednesday. The four-game win streak is Syracuse’s longest of the season. “Boston College is a much better team than they’ve been in the past year,” said assistant coach Derryk Williams. “Hopefully the team responds and we’re ready to go.” Sophomore outside hitter Polina Shemanova — the reigning ACC player of the week — followed her record-breaking performance from page 12

virginia repeatedly snagged extra possessions off the glass and finished the first frame with a 25-10 rebounding advantage. Virginia forwards Mamadi Diakite and Jay Huff controlled the offense from the high post. When they weren’t dribbling and dishing outside, they worked near the hoop flushed uncontested dunks. Diakite and Huff finished with a combined 23 points and 18 rebounds. Offensively, Boeheim said Syracuse will rely more heavily on the 3-pointer. Numerous shots rimmed out in the first half when the Orange had open looks. More than 10 minutes into the game, Syracuse’s lone points were a Sidibe layup. Virginia’s defense has ranked in the top 10 of Ken Pomeroy’s adjusted defensive efficiency stat for each season since 2014. That showed on Wednesday. “Offensively we just really never got movement,” Boeheim said. “And when we got it we just didn’t really get positive actions.” In spurts, SU flashed what it could be offensively. On one series, a Virginia defender stuffed Elijah Hughes’ jump shot from the

on Sunday against Louisville with another dominant performance. The conference’s points leader recorded 32 kills, 14 digs and three service aces in the win. In the first set, Syracuse struggled with BC’s high-tempo offense, as Syracuse’s defense couldn’t contain the Eagles’ outside hitters, Clare Naughton and Jewel Strawberry. The two combined for 11 kills in the first set. The Golden Eagles also capitalized on seven Orange attacking errors. In the second set, SU’s attacking play was sharp, as they only committed two errors. Shemanova recorded six kills in the set. Syracuse middle blockers Abby Casiano and Dana Gardner also impressed in the set, as they held BC star hitter Amaka Chukwujekwu to just one kill. elbow. Syracuse retained possession though, and when Hughes drove to the basket, he finished through a foul. The redshirt junior, clenched his fists and let out a roar. That’s what this offense can be — a Hughes takeover. But it didn’t last. Joe Girard III, sank his first bucket for the Orange against Virginia, a 3-pointer in which the ball bounced off the back of the rim and in through the mesh. He dribbled past Virginia defenders too. Kihei Clark, the Cavaliers star guard, frequently picked Girard up at or before the half court marker. Girard crossed his defender up on a drive to the basket midway through the first half, drawing a resound “ooo” from the crowd. As the freshman drove toward the baseline his kick out pass was far off from any white jersey and went toward the radio announcers. As Girard dribbled around the top just beyond the three-point arc an extra defender sometimes slid up to help out despite Bennett waving them back. Girard then advanced the ball on to Dolezaj in the high post. With no man on him, Dolezaj scored once. Another time he looked for a skip pass. It soared over Buddy Boeheim’s head in the opposite corner. “We have to a better job of screening and

Shemanova would end the 25-17 set with an ace. With the match tied at one set apiece, Boston College took the third set behind two service aces from Madison McKnight and Jane DeJarld. Seven attacking errors also put Syracuse into an early deficit, as a comeback rally was too late in a 25-21 loss. In the fourth set, Boston College jumped out to 17 to 15 lead, but great attacking play from junior Ella Saada and Shemanova helped Syracuse keep pace with BC. With the Orange down one, 19-18, sophomore setter Elena Karakasi delivered a pass to Shemanova on the left, which Shemanova converted into a kill to tie the game at 19. After that crucial point, Syracuse went on a 6-1 scoring run, pushing the match to a fifth set with a slick kill from Casiano, 20-25.

Syracuse took the momentum from the fourth and converted it into a dominant fifth set performance. The Orange jumped to a 9-3 lead, as several BC attacking errors and backto-back kills from Casiano and Saada forced a timeout from BC head coach Jason Kennedy. Coming out of the timeout, Karakasi slotted in a kill from the middle to push the lead to seven. Later in the set, Boston College sliced SU’s lead to 12-7 with a kill from Chukwujekwu. But back-to-back kills from Shemanova put set into match-point. Syracuse won the set on a Chukwujekwu attacking error. SU head coach Leonid Yelin and Syracuse will look to push the winning streak to five against Virginia Tech this upcoming Sunday. nleconom@syr.edu

moving without the ball,” Boeheim said. “We didn’t do that well tonight.” The offense can be a Girard III or Buddy shooting show. On Wednesday, it was off the mark. Syracuse kept it close with Virginia all

night. Not all 3-pointers were contested. Midrange jump shots occasionally flashed open. Even layups and free throws just wouldn’t fall. At some point, it all adds up. Or in Syracuse’s case, not enough added up.

from page 12

the momentum — which seemed to be in Girard III’s favor — carried the ball back into the rim. The Carrier Dome crowd, sensing life from the SU offense, exploded in cheers.

takeaways Biggest surprise: Joe Girard III, point guard

Through Brycen Goodine handled the ball for the majority of the preseason after Jalen Carey exited the game, Girard III was SU’s de facto No. 2 point guard. In the first half, Girard III — a high-school star who relied on a knockdown 3-point jumper en route to 50-plus point performances — made an immediate impact on dribble drives to the rim. To break a long SU scoring slump, Girard III used two dribbles to penetrate and dropped off a pass to Marek Dolezaj. Dolezaj turned and hit a floater over the Cavaliers defense. He worked the ball inside several times thereafter, sparking a run of inside-outside creation the Orange had not yet seen. On one play he faded off the ball, caught a pass at the top of the key and fired a shot that bounced off the back of the rim. But

The big moment: Kody Stattmann’s 3-pointer

Despite trailing for most of the game, the Orange — behind a 3-point heavy attack — always seemed in reach of the Cavaliers. On a possession with under nine minutes to play in the game, Virginia worked the ball around the exterior of the 3-point line and found Kody Stattmann open on the left wing. The sophomore guard, who was quiet for a large part of the game, rose up and drained a 3-pointer to sink the Orange deficit even further to 15 points, 42-27 the score. The Orange seemed lifeless afterward: they turned the ball over, missed open threes and shots under the basket. Three minutes of game time later, Syracuse remained down by 16. Fans headed for the exits. mmcclear@syr.edu | @MikeJMcCleary

With Massimo Ferrin’s injury, Syracuse adjusts tactics By Anthony Dabbundo asst. sports editor

Massimo Ferrin wasn’t 100% healthy, but he could take a penalty kick. He grabbed the ball to begin Syracuse’s penalty shootout against North Carolina on Tuesday, calmly swinging his right foot through the ball and powering it into the goal opposite the diving goalkeeper. As he scored, Ferrin winced and grabbed his back. He was in pain, and had been the entire game — all 47 minutes of playing time. “He got whacked on his back and I think it’s just stiffening up,” SU head coach Ian McIntyre said Tuesday night. “Hopefully, in the next few days, we can start getting him back out there.” In the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament first round game, Ferrin wasn’t the usual contributor he’s been for the Orange this season, registering just one shot. But when Syracuse needed him most, Ferrin put Syracuse in front of its penalty shootout and helped the Orange advance to the second round of the tournament. Syracuse will face No. 2-seed Virginia in Charlottesville on Sunday at 1 p.m., and Ferrin’s ongoing injury leaves the Orange with multiple questions — like which formation it’ll set up in and who will replace him — against the nation’s No. 4 overall team. Ferrin played in the midfield or on the wing for the bulk of Tuesday’s game. He couldn’t run in behind or connect play for the Orange’s offense like he usually does from up top in his typical striker role. Syracuse’s second-leading goal scorer was shunted into a less attacking role with his limited mobility, playing more as a deeplying passer who frequently drifted out to the wing. “He’s going to need a little bit of time,” McIntyre said. “He battled through it tonight. He gave us as much as he could.” On Nov. 1, Ferrin left the Orange’s regular season finale against Boston College in

the sixth minute with an injury and never returned. Syracuse scored its lone goal off a set piece and failed to generate much offense in the second half without his presence in a 2-1 loss. Without his second striker alongside Ryan Raposo on Tuesday, McIntyre turned to freshman forward Luther Archimede, who’s had an up-and-down rookie campaign for the Orange. “Any international player goes through an adaptation period,” McIntyre said. “I think his best soccer is ahead of him, and he’s getting used to the speed of play and physicality.” Archimede’s ability to hold up play while the Orange played a more conservative formation impressed McIntyre on Tuesday. But Archimede hasn’t proven this season that he can stay on the pitch and play big minutes because of ill-advised fouls. The freshman has been sent off twice and suspended for two more matches. Until recently, Archimede’s primary role was to come off the bench to spell Ferrin or Raposo at the end of the first half, before then coming on for more extensive minutes in the second half if the Orange was chasing goals. “That was probably Luther’s best game in a Syracuse shirt,” McIntyre said. “He was isolated, but he was strong, he was physical. He held the ball up really well. He bullied their center back, and I thought he was terrific.” While Raposo and Ferrin have provided 15 goals for the Orange this season, the search for a third attacking option has come down to Archimede and Severin Soerlie. Archimede has seen his minutes increase, while Soerlie didn’t play at all in the Orange’s first postseason match. Soerlie did come on to take and score a penalty on Tuesday. The Orange will have defender Nyal Higgins back from suspension on Sunday after his red card against BC last Saturday kept him out of Tuesday’s match. To counter Higgins’ suspension and Ferrin’s injury, McIntyre strayed away from his traditional

ice hockey

Orange still haven’t picked a starting goalie this season By Gaurav Shetty staff writer

After losing nine straight games — its worst start in program history — Syracuse turned to goalie Ady Cohen. Cohen, the projected starter in the preseason, had split time evenly with Allison Small. Against Union, SU rode Cohen’s 20-save shutout to its first win of the season. “It’s definitely a good feeling to get the monkey off the back,” said Cohen on Oct. 31. Four days later, Cohen recorded another shutout to give Syracuse its second win of the season against RIT. Still, SU head coach Paul Flanagan hasn’t committed to her as the starter. In both of the Orange’s (2-10, 1-1 College Hockey America) wins, they needed shutout performances from Cohen. Small, who has started seven games in the net, leads the team in saves (193) but doesn’t have a win. Both Small and Cohen’s save percentages hover around .875 this season and Flanagan has yet to choose a primary netminder. “What it does do is continue that healthy competition between the two and that’s what you want,” Flanagan said. Small transferred to Syracuse halfway through last year’s season from Quinnipiac, where she played 12 games in two seasons. At SU in 2018-19, she played only 80 minutes over two games. But this year, she’s started more games than Cohen, and has recorded over 100 more saves. Five of her starts came against ranked opponents. Though Allison has recorded over 30 saves three times — including a season-high 36 saves against No. 4 Northeastern — she’s still searching for a win. In back-to-back games against No. 6 Princeton, Small had 59 total

saves, but allowed five goals. Cohen came into the season after starting 13 games last year, when she led the team to the program’s first CHA championship win and was named to the all-tournament team. Cohen has a 2.64 goals against average, slightly better than the 2.75 mark she finished with last season. Flanagan said he’s happy with the two goalies’ improved play. Small and Cohen have conceded 47 goals between them, but 16 have been on the penalty kill, a weakness of the team. “We’re starting to get where, in a good way, it’s hard to decide who’s going to play,” said Flanagan. “This is what you want when I say healthy competition. We’re evolving to that, it’s good for us, it’s good for the club.” As a duo, the two goalies have a combined 3.67 goals against average against nonconference teams. Last year, Syracuse’s goalies had a 3.28 goals against average for the season, compared to 2.66 during conference play. The winner of the CHA gets an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, so the Orange know how important its conference record is, players and coaches said. Despite its worst start in program history, Syracuse has started conference play 1-1 entering a week off. Typically, Flanagan has a primary starting goalie by now, relying on Maddi Welch, Abbey Miller and Jenn Gilligan throughout the last couple of seasons. In 2019, with the way Cohen and Small have played, the decision on who will win the starting goalie job is still unclear. Said Flanagan: “I’m feeling more and more confident with either one of them.” gshetty@syr.edu

MASSIMO FERRIN left the Orange’s final regular season game with a back injury, and played 46 minutes against UNC on Tuesday. gavin liddell staff photographer

three center backs with two high pressing wing backs on Tuesday. He switched to a back four and played an extra player in the midfield, Noah Singelmann, who started in the center of the midfield to try to keep the UNC attack under control. When the Orange faced No. 2 Clemson at home, McIntyre blamed himself for the team’s approach that led to the Orange conceding an “embarrassing” seven goals at home. The Orange were left too open at the back and they were punished. If Ferrin isn’t healthy, McIntyre could go back to his three-defenders approach and choose to play Archimede up top alone again. The Orange played this way against Wake For-

est, and lost 1-0. “We have trust in what we’re doing,” Ferrin said in September. If Ferrin is able to start up top, McIntyre has to decide between starting Archimede next to him, or an extra midfielder to help combat a Virginia offense that has outscored opponents 13-5 in conference play. “We’ve got a lot of nicked up guys right now,” McIntyre said. “A couple of days of practice, a couple of days of T.L.C., and then we had back down to UVA.” — Staff writer David Schneidman contributed reporting to this story. amdabbun@syr.edu @AnthonyDabbundo
