Two groups organized in Syracuse disagreed on how countries, including the U.S., should respond to Russia’s invasion

n the courtyard of the James M. Hanley Federal Building in downtown Syracuse on Sunday afternoon, around 150 people rallied against Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.

But the group was split. Although both sides were against the war in Ukraine, they disagreed on possible solutions.

Near a grassy hill, protesters held signs supporting sanctions against Russia. Some signs supported increased military support of Ukraine. Facing the protestors, near the intersection of West Washington and South Clinton streets, a second group of protesters approached holding signs which questioned sanctions and criticized NATO expansion.

The demonstration followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s calls to NATO to issue a no-fly zone around Ukraine. NATO rejected the proposal, believing see rally page 4

SU provides free menstrual products in campus bathrooms

By Ivana Xie

asst. digital editor

It started with volunteers and members of the Student Association traveling from building to building on Syracuse University’s campus to supply students with free menstrual pads and tampons in small plastic containers in bathrooms. But after

the pandemic hit, the menstrual products program came to a halt.

In November 2021, SA President David Bruen said, “My position is that no one should pay. (Menstrual hygiene products) should be free.”

Four months later, he and SA Vice President Darnelle Stinfort turned that into a reality.

SA invested $56,000 in mid-

November for menstrual hygiene products for a full year — Phase 1 of the Menstrual Product Program.

With a $1.5 million surplus for its budget in the 2021-22 school year, SA decided to move forward with the project to provide free menstrual hygiene products on campus.

Bruen said the $56,000 was divided for the supply of sanitary

products and purchase of the dispensers. The investment does not include the installation of the dispensers, but the university will assist SA with the installment.

Stinfort said she’s happy to see the project move forward. “(The Dean of Students Office was) very supportive. It was really nice to see them all for it. Really no

hesitation, no problem,” she said.

“We’re going to disagree on a lot of things, if not majority, but it’s all about compromise,” Stinfort said.

“That’s kind of what life is. So it was really nice to have (the Dean of Students Office) on our side.”

Phase 1 has been completed with the installation of dispensers in see menstrual page 4

County, city to assist Ukrainian refugees SA finalizes candidates for next election

By Grace Katz

asst. copy editor

The Syracuse University and SUNYESF’s Student Association has finalized all candidates running in the spring election for the 66th session.

The deadline to file a petition to run was March 1 and the election will take place April 4-8.

The Daily Orange has compiled a list of all candidates and provided information on the positions for which they are running.

meghan hendricks photo editor Visa holders who settled in New York in FY2021 came to the county.

By Francis Tang asst. news editor

Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon and Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh issued a letter Wednesday, stating Onondaga County and the city of Syracuse are “ready, willing and able” to assist Ukrainian refugees resettling in central New York.

The letter, addressed to President Joe Biden, condemned Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine.

McMahon and Walsh said in the letter that the county and the city stand with the U.S. and the global community during this crisis and human suffering.

On Feb. 22 in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of eastern Ukraine after Russia officially

recognized the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics — two self-proclaimed states controlled by pro-Russian forces in the Donbas region of Ukraine.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order on Feb. 27 directing all state agencies and authorities to divest public funds from Russia. Hundreds of Syracuse community members gathered at St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church on the same day to stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

SU Chancellor Kent Syverud sent a campus-wide email on Feb. 25 condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He also said during the University Senate meeting on Feb. 23 that the conflict may be a potential challenge for the uni-

versity community given the large Ukrainian and Russian population at SU, as well as the high percentage of students, faculty and staff currently on active duty in military, guards and reserves.

In the letter, McMahon and Walsh said that Syracuse and Onondaga County have historically served as a safe haven for refugees all across the world, and they added that the Ukrainian community is strong within the area. This makes central New York an ideal location for Ukrainian citizens looking to find short-term shelter until they can return to their homes, or even settle down permanently to be free from unjustified violence and war, the letter said.

Out of a total of 900 Refugee and Special Immigrant Visa holders who

were settled in New York state in the federal fiscal year 2021, 201 came to Onondaga County, according to the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.

The county and city will work with the state government and refugee resettlement partners at Interfaith Works CNY and Catholic Charities of Onondaga County to prepare the community to welcome Ukrainian refugees, the letter stated.

“Central New York stands ready as a partner to bring as many of our Ukrainian allies out of harm’s way as possible, welcoming refugees into a diverse and caring community in America,” the letter reads. btang05@syr.edu @francis_towne

Syracuse Police utilizes translation services

By Jana Seal

asst. digital editor

With the approval of the Syracuse Police Reform and Reinvention Plan in May 2021, the Syracuse Police Department began use of the Voiance app, a mobile translation tool that aims to increase communication and accessibility between police and nonEnglish speaking residents.

Since its implementation, SPD Public Information Officer Lt. Matthew Malinowski said that the app has been useful to officers in their investigations and has aided in the pursuit of communicating well with everyone in the community.

In the past, when interacting with people speaking languages other than English, it was challenging for SPD to find an officer who speaks that specific language, Malinowski said.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18.6% of Syracuse residents over the age of 5 speak a language other than English in the home. Malinowski said that Span-

ish and Burmese are the most and second-most used languages by the department, respectively.

“We continue to diversify this community, and we try to diversify this department. But I would say it would be a very significant lift to try to have a police officer who can speak every language that we serve in this community. So we found (Voiance) very useful,” Malinowski said.

The department purchased the app in February 2021 and started the training and rollout on how to use the app in the second quarter of 2021, according to the plan’s progress update. The update classified the implementation of the Voiance app as “completed,” indicating that “the administration has met its commitment on a police reform action and published proof of completion,” according to the reporting progress breakdown.

SPD held multiple forums for public comment on the department’s reform and reinvention plan. The department heard com-

munity members’ input on the plan as it was being developed in early 2021, before the Voiance app was settled upon and implemented.

This was a good example of how police community relations can be enhanced by open dialogue between police and community members Barrie Gewanter former county employee

In one of the January 2021 public hearings, community member and former county director of human rights Barrie Gewanter praised the prospect of increased language accessibility but said the department

should do more beyond the app.

“Having an on demand interpreter program on a phone app or a tablet is great. However, that’s not enough,” Gewanter said during the forum.

“There also has to be training for officers in when it’s necessary to use it, how to work with an interpreter, and also how to recognize and communicate what kind of interpreter you need based not only on country but also on ethnic group, and also based on other dynamics such as gender.”

Gewanter, who has worked with the new American community and with local Deaf and disability advocates and has expertise in Title VI and the Americans with Disabilities Act, worked with the department to create and augment policies for interpretation and translation in the city of Syracuse, for both people who speak English and people who use symbolic languages like American Sign Language. “​​This was a good example of how police community relations can be see translation page 4

Incumbent SA President David Bruen will be running for reelection alongside new running mate Adia Santos. Initiatives they’re involved in include further expanding access to on-campus menstrual products and canceling student debt, according to their campaign Instagram account. Santos is also a member in the #NotAgainSU movement.

Maram Ahmed and Zikora Nman, both sophomores, will also be running for president and vice president, respectively. In their letter of intent, the two underline that their perspectives as Black women will help them communicate to university faculty about providing a better student experience for underrepresented groups at SU. Specific e ff orts li st ed in th ei r le tter also include making meal swipes cheaper and providing funding for the Black Student Union.

Breton MacNeil and Heidi Currin are the final pair in the race for SA president and vice president. In their letter of intent, they said they will put an emphasis on communication within the community to ensure that all student voices are heard. To accomplish this, they want to listen, have productive discussions and take action on behalf of the community. Certain areas they want to cover include the improvement of student life and academics.

Assembly representatives

For at-large assembly positions, 12 different seats are up for election.

William Treloar, the current SA Speaker, is running to promote student involvement and create a more streamlined bill writing process, according to his letter of intent.

Other students who have been part of SA before and are running for at-large positions include Mariah Schwambach, Cassidy Snyder, Anna Ginelli, Kennedy Williams, Jack McCarty and Sukhleen Atwal.

Torryn Sales, Kaitlin LaRosa, Rachel Kern, Jadyn Washington and Karen Cooper are also running for an at-large position.

Some schools have fewer people running than available representative chairs — including the College of Arts and Sciences, the Newhouse School of Public Communications, the School of Information Studies and the College of Engineering and Computer Science. see candidates page 4

rally the action would cause confrontation with Russia.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a pledge Sunday to increase sanctions against Russia, The Guardian reported.

The initial Syracuse demonstration, organized by the Syracuse Peace Council, started at Forman Park. In an email release, the council wrote that the group would call for a ceasefire, an end to NATO expansion and the U.S. and other countries to welcome refugees from the war. The group also wrote they would raise questions on how sanctions impact Russian citizens.

“We are inspired by war resisters and peace activists in both Ukraine and Russia and those taking action against the war in the U.S. and around the world,” Peace Council staff organizer Carol Baum said in the email release.

The group holding signs against the expansion of NATO moved from Forman Park to the Federal Building, chanting as they walked.

“Diplomacy, not war,” the group chanted at one point.

The group stopped at Plymouth Congregational Church on their way to the Federal Building. In front of the building, the Rev. Eric Jackson led the group in prayer.

“Let us not become numb to what we are witnessing. Let us continue to be disturbed.

Disturbed enough to want to speak truth to power,” he said. “Disturbed enough to want to resist all manners of imperialism.”

Jackson said the current situation in Ukraine can happen anywhere in the world.

David Pasinski, a member of Plymouth Congressional Church and St. Lucy’s Church, addressed the split between the group he was speaking to and those who support increased sanctions against Russia.

“We stand with Ukraine,” he said.

Pasinski said, despite differing political ideologies, the crowd of protesters was unified in wanting peace and putting an end to growing militarism. He also asked the crowd to be “concrete” in their support of Ukraine, insisting on financial support.

Once the group organized by the Syracuse Peace Council reached the Federal Building, they were met by those who supported NATO and military support for Ukraine. The two groups took turns speaking at a microphone.

Ray Wihak, the assistant director of institutional relations at Syracuse Abroad, spoke in favor of more severe sanctions against Russia. from page 1

“The Ukrainian-American community stands firmly behind NATO and behind the civilized European Union and their sanctions against Russia,” Wihak said. “Diplomacy did not work, war clearly never works. The only thing that is left to put pressure on Putin and his oligarchs through more severe sanctions, that’s the only answer.”

Diane Swords, the chair of SPC’s Nuclear Free World Committee, advocated the council’s mission to abolish nuclear weapons. Following her statement of the mission, the crowd applauded, and she paused. When she began to speak again, the microphone had cut out, and her voice was less audible.

“We need to be asking questions about how our nation, the U.S. which is one of the main leaders in NATO, is not finding ways to reduce the tensions, but increasing the tensions. One of the things that the Peace Council is very involved with is the effort to abolish nuclear weapons. Now I know they’re going to say…”

The microphone stopped picking up Swords’ voice. “...that’s a nice idea, right? But there are pieces of legislation in the U.S. that reduce the risk of nuclear war,” Swords said.

Standing near the speaker system, a man had unplugged the speakers from the cord attached to the microphone, and Swords finished her speech without the microphone.

Andy Mager, an organizer with the Syracuse Peace Council, criticized NATO expansion while indicating that it doesn’t excuse Putin’s actions.

“Few things are simple in our very broken world,” he said. “We must be clear that this is a vicious power grab by Vladimir Putin, and his cronies in the Russian leadership.”

Mager discussed Russia’s invasion of other countries, including Syria, and established that its attack on Ukraine is not an isolated incident. Aly Wane, another Syracuse Peace Council organizer, spoke about the refugee crisis in Ukraine from his perspective as a Rwandan refugee.

“I remember what it felt like to be in a war zone. That trauma has stayed with me my entire life, and I wouldn’t wish that trauma on anyone.

Whatever we need to do, we need to make sure people who are either standing up or fleeing the war zone are taken care of,” Wane said.

“War is the crime,” Wane continued. “It is a collective failure of the global community.”

sign because she felt it was where she was most educated. She didn’t understand the ideology behind advocating against sanctions, she said.

At the Federal Building, where the opposing groups converged, a protester who advocated for Ukraine to join NATO ripped her sign from its post.

“To Ukrainians, they want whatever we can

do (to help). It’s just so hard. I can understand Ukrainians that are here, being against my side. I can understand that,” Reagan said. “I’m certainly going to go home and get on the news and see, ‘Who are these people that question sanctions?’

And again, (research) ‘No NATO expansion,’ and sort of fortify my feelings for carrying that sign.”

The university is working with SA in moving into Phase 2 this upcoming summer, Hradsky said. Additional phases may be added depending on SA and the university’s next steps. Dispensers for menstrual hygiene products will be installed in the bathrooms of 11 buildings: Hinds Hall, Link Hall, Slocum Hall, Bowne Hall, Physics Building, Huntington Beard Crouse Hall, Hall of Languages, Hendricks Chapel, Carnegie Library, the Newhouse School of Public Communications and the Whitman School of Management.

Residence halls will not be part of this proj-

ect for now, Bruen said.

“The general belief is that because residence halls are students’ homes, there would be less of a need to provide the product in each of the bathrooms in the residence halls,” Hradsky said.

The alternative is to potentially install dispensers in main floor restrooms in residence halls and dining halls in the future, Hradsky said. SA will continue to provide free menstrual hygiene products in small containers in dorm halls, but may have limited ability to ensure all residence halls will

be stocked, Bruen said.

Additionally, both Bruen and Stinfort said SA will work with Hendricks Chapel to provide menstrual hygiene products to its food pantry as another means to assist people with financial accessibility issues.

Stinfort said that this project will not be limited to this academic year.

“This should be for years to come,” she said.

“This is going to be set in our operating budget and will continue on.”

develop the Communication with People with Limited English Proficiency, a policy that aims to enhance communication between community members and officers and continue to bridge language barriers.

The policy establishes that the department should never refuse service to a limited English proficient individual and specifies five types of language assistance, including in-person and on-site interpreters, remote audio or video

interpreter service, bilingual department members (in the absence of an authorized member), an authorized bilingual department member and approved community volunteers.

The plan also states that the department will continue to work with community groups, local businesses and neighborhoods to ensure that all community members have equal access to the language services it establishes.

“All this was a huge step forward for SPD,

and I was very pleased that they asked for my input and assistance,” Gewanter said. “This new policy, procedure and training will help make police services available to the many people in our community with limited English proficiency. That is about fundamental equality as well as effective community service, and SPD seems to have truly grasped this need.”

letter to the editor

David Bruen’s presidency was successful, despite criticisms

By Our Reader

A

recent letter to the editor claims that David Bruen should not run again for Student Association president for a multitude of reasons, chiefly because Bruen was an architect of the new constitution, has accomplished nothing of real value for students and that Bruen’s presidency would be best served as transitional. While every student is entitled to their opinion, as people who have held these positions, we have our own.

First, Bruen was not significantly involved in drafting the new constitution. The new constitution was primarily written by the parliamentarian of the previous session and a select few committee members.

After it was passed by the assembly, Bruen took on the role of managing the campaign to pass the constitution which was more of a ceremonial role, as all SA members were expected to be involved in getting students to vote in the constitutional election. Beyond that, the author

makes specious and irresponsible inferences about Bruen’s ethics as a former Chair for the Board of Elections and as Speaker of the House.

The Speaker holds little to no power outside of managing the assembly meeting. And, as Board of Elections Chair, he proved to be nothing short of fair and ethical.

This is coming from people who were investigated by Bruen. The author’s ignorance on these issues may seem harmless, but it only serves as a detriment to the campus community’s ability to make an informed decision in the upcoming election.

Secondly, the author claims that nothing of value has been achieved in the past year. Clearly the author decided to omit or is unaware of the changes this session has brought.

Under Bruen and Darnelle Stinfort’s leadership, students have seen an expansion of the menstrual product program and the creation of a grocery store trolley program, as well as SA commitment to becoming carbon neutral and advocation for the creation of a university website

for survivors of sexual assault.

Considering the power that the SA has unilaterally, these are all great achievements. As the leaders of a campaign that aspired to “take it to the administration” and ruffle feathers, we know how little that accomplishes at times. Our administration spent most of the session trying to change that and came up short.

Finally, the idea that Bruen’s tenure as president should be transitional is ludicrous. Nothing prepares someone better to be president than actually being president. From experience we can confirm that a term as president and vice president are essentially split into two stages: the first learning how to do the job and the second preparing to leave it.

David’s experience in this position would only make him more effective than he’s already been this year.

Administrations that have no significant SA experience (cabinet level or higher) are at a significant disadvantage when starting out. Bruen would have no such problem if reelected.

If you want someone who is going to

devote all of their time and experience to helping the student body you should vote to reelect Bruen as president and elect Santos vice president. This is by far the most experienced and readily prepared ticket in recent memory.

If you want to endorse a different campaign, that is perfectly fine. But malign-

ing someone whose only interest is making a better campus for all of the students should be off the table. Resorting to that at the outset of a campaign not only shows a limited arsenal to choose from but is uncalled for.

The Barnes Center should mobilize the pet therapy program

By Shriya Vinod Menon columnist

xam pressure and the stress leading up to it can cause unnatural, temporary shifts in students’ eating and sleeping habits. Recently, I felt this familiar empty feeling in my stomach two days before my ECN 102 exam, and the first thing I chose to do was take a nap. A very, very, long one. Probably as long as I would have taken to complete studying a chapter for the test.

In my case, exam pressure usually leads to me feeling moody, snappy and overwhelmed. I push my friends away for a while and forget to call my parents, who are halfway across the globe. I go into a shell. All students have different ways of coping with exam stress and anxiety.

When I felt overwhelmed before my exams in high school back at home, I used to run downstairs and just sit with my dogs for a while. Sometimes I took my laptop down with me. Those 15 minutes with them was a good buffer for my mind to recalibrate, allowing me to effectively learn all the material for my tests. Over the years, I’ve realized that spending time with animals improves mental and physical wellbeing. Furthermore, having a healthy amount of interaction with animals contributes to a more positive out-

look. Hence, a mobile animal-assisted therapy, or “Pet Therapy on Wheels” could help college students, especially during times when they experience stress and anxiety from exams.

Pet therapy lowers blood pressure and improves the overall cardiovascular health of a person. It may be a temporary measure, but experiencing a session of animalassisted therapy can release endorphins that produce a calming effect to help alleviate pain, reduce stress and depression and improve your overall psychological state.

Syracuse University offers a wonderful pet therapy program at the Barnes Center at The Arch that I thoroughly enjoyed. One can also request pet therapy by contacting one of the local partner organizations working with SU. As efficient as this program is, a mobile pet therapy program could be even more beneficial to students.

When COVID-19 was the most discussed, uncertain and anxietyinducing topic in March 2020, my classmates and I were waiting on our TRF 205 professor, discussing the possibility of college reopening after spring break. In walks Professor Schoonmaker with his beautiful husky assisting him to help subside some of the negative energy that filled the room. You could just tell that there was an immediate switch

in the mood. We continued to discuss COVID-19 and college; however with a cute, fluffy stress-buster sitting by our side, it was hard to stay tense.

I’m proposing an “on Wheels” version of pet therapy because it would increase accessibility for students, saving them the time it takes to walk all the way to the Barnes Center. A mobile pet therapy program would also support students dealing with a lack of motivation. And I’m not talking about physical motivation, so please don’t misconstrue my reasoning for laziness. The lack of mental motivation and disinterestedness that infects your mind, especially during times of high pressure and stress, can really be exhausting. When a student feels this way, their temptation to be around a dog may be skyrocketing, but knowing that they would have to walk over to the Barnes Center could immediately cause this temptation to plummet. During moments like these, having Pet Therapy on Wheels would truly be a blessing in disguise.

Allow me to digress for a moment.

Imagine it’s your freshman year.

You’re a student who is still yet to figure out where you fit in or who your social circle should include. You’re experiencing overwhelming time pressure, exam pressure and social pressure. If you haven’t been bombarded by these thoughts at least once

Mobile pet therapy during exam weeks would help student’s cope with their stress levels. meghan hendricks photo editor

in your college life, are you even a student? A mobile pet therapy program, though, could help in these situations.

If Pet Therapy on Wheels made stops at different areas across Main Campus and South Campus at least once a week, it would make for a great networking opportunity for the students. And for those of you who don’t believe you aren’t good at communication, who cares? You meet another person at the Pet Therapy on Wheels session, you already have something to talk about! It also works out well if you’re one of those people who didn’t put in the effort to get to know your neighbors (me, last semester).

I hope that the Barnes Center will

be able to collaborate with its local partner organizations such as Go Team Therapy Dogs, PAWS of CNY and Pet Partners of CNY to help create mobile pet therapy for students. This would be especially helpful during exam days to reduce the overall stress and performance anxiety induced by academics. As a family at SU, we must all work towards promoting inclusivity and protecting the mental health of all students as they go through college life, and a mobile pet therapy program would be one way of doing that.

A

day after being inducted into the SAMMY Hall of Fame, voice actor and musician Tom Kenny took the stage at the Oncenter’s Crouse Hinds theater with his band, Tom Kenny & The Hi-Seas, and reflected on a pivotal moment for his career.

“About 23 years ago, my life took a real crazy change when a guy that I knew, Steve Hillenberg, showed me this little drawing of a sponge wearing pants and a hat that he drew on a napkin,” Kenny, who’s known for voicing the title character for “SpongeBob SquarePants” and his many musical contributions to the show, said during the band’s performance at the 2022 SAMMYS. Family, friends, fans and musicians gathered on

Local radio personality Scott Dixon hosted the SAMMYS in the Oncenter Crouse Hinds theater

March 4 to recognize and celebrate the music scene in Syracuse. The event was hosted by Scott Dixon, also known as dXn from local Syracuse radio station WAQX-FM 95X, and showcased a blend of award speeches and live performances.

“We’ve got a great music scene here, and to be acknowledged for your work … There’s just so much talent here, it’s just remarkable,” Rex Lyons, vocalist and guitarist for The Ripcords, said as he accepted the Best Americana Award for his band.

Currently the number one local music event in the region, the SAMMYS, or Syracuse Area Music Awards, have proven to be a central element to music culture in and around the city since the first show in 1993, see awards page 7

‘The Batman’ revives origin story with mystery thriller

By Sam Rivo

screentime columnist

Despite living in a world that is oversaturated with the magnitude of superheroes in popular culture, no superhero has had their story retold more than Batman. Director Matt Reeves chooses to depict his Batman as one who is learning how to be more than just a vigilante with pointy ears.

Robert Pattinson’s Batman is fueled by grief and the psychological terrors of his job. While his Batman may appear to be stoic and calculated in the suit, under

the mask is a man consumed by fear and loneliness who can’t be bothered to maintain order in his life. This isn’t a Batman who enjoys being Bruce Wayne, but instead one who loathes it.

Pattinson’s Wayne is in just his second year on the job, and he’s already wilting under the pressures of both his life and fighting crime. This Batman would benefit from therapy, and the darkness of Pattinson’s portrayal bleeds out a man struggling to balance both the rage and the righteousness of his mind. This Wayne isn’t cool, calm and collected. He’s reclusive,

inexperienced and confused on how to bring justice and morality to society when he himself has only known an amoral world.

Consumed by living within the shadows, Pattinson’s Batman speaks less than any Batman I can remember. However, his lack of dialogue doesn’t mean he isn’t being heard. Pattinson tells a lot in his Batman portrayal, whether it’s the use of the simplest movements from his gangly, awkward frame or his broken eyes. This is a Batman who embraces the weirdness and creepiness of the character while still having

the prestige needed to enamor respect from allies and enemies.

“The Batman” is as much a murder mystery detective film as it is a superhero movie. Reeves chooses to set his Batman in the landscape of a grungy neo-noir film rather than the traditional superhero spectacle. The film clearly takes inspiration from David Fincher’s serial killer movies, like “Zodiac” and “Se7en,” along with ‘70s murder mystery thrillers like “The French Connection.” Although Batman does get plenty of time to use his gadgets and beat up bad guys, the

film has a clear interest in the detective work of Batman compared to the ass-kicking part.

The detective work begins with the death of the mayor, along with a crime scene left behind by the Riddler (Paul Dano), which includes a cipher for Batman and a severed thumb. The Riddler’s clues lead Batman and Lieutenant Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) on a chase to figure out the reasoning for the mayor’s murder and how it relates to a web of corruption that entangles the city’s leaders and its mob underground.

Crowd engages and welcomes The Regrettes to Syracuse

By Heidi Simental

contributing writer

The audience’s anticipation for The Regrettes’ performance was palpable as a crowd of eager fans braved the frigid weather while waiting for the doors to open. Once the fans were inside, the Westcott Theater bursted with energy.

On Thursday at 7 p.m., the Westcott welcomed LA-based, pop-punk band The Regrettes as the most recent stop on the band’s “Get The F*ck Out of LA” Tour.

They were joined by opening act Kississippi, the indie pop project of Zoe Reynolds.

Cricket Withall, a freshman at Syracuse University, went to the show with her friends Libbie Kirkpatrick and Ellie Graham, both juniors at SU. The group agreed that the concert was an upgrade from house shows in Syracuse.

“This was the first concert I’d been to

in a while … it was a step up from a house show,” Withall said. “I hadn’t really been to a more intense concert like this.”

Kississippi started the night with heartfelt confessions from her latest album “Mood Ring.” She engaged with the audience, describing her vision for a potential music video for a “Mood Ring” track and sharing how a past relationship of hers almost ended at Westcott Theater. Reynolds, along with drummer Karl Kuehn and bassist Joshua Hayes, brought the audience through the highs and lows of relationships, with the upbeat “We’re So In Tune” and the reminiscence of “Big Dipper.”

When The Regrettes took the stage, the crowd erupted into screams. The band played a variety of songs from its discography. Fans joined in for renditions of “California Friends” and “Pumpkin” from the band’s 2019 album “How Do You Love?” Their performance of “Seashore,”

a feminist power anthem from their 2017 debut “Feel Your Feelings Fool!,” electrified the crowd and demonstrated the band’s versatility.

The band also had some surprises in store for attendees, including song previews and an encore. Its performance of “That’s What Makes Me Love You,” a song released one day after the concert, and another unnamed track fueled anticipation for their next album.

Withall said she relished the exclusivity of hearing the song before its official release, and Graham thought the band did a great job keeping the crowd energized.

Lead singer Lydia Night capitalized on that energy, leading the audience in dancing and cheering competitions, with each side of the crowd fighting for her attention. Night joined audience members standing in the front row, but not before passing out face masks stamped with The Regrettes’ logo to those without one

and waiting for them to put them on.

Nina Tran, a freshman at SU, expressed concern about the number of people in the audience who weren’t wearing masks.

“People aren’t really wearing their masks, so it’s a little weird,” Tran said. “I mean, I appreciate (Night) passing them out, but you don’t know where people have been.”

Many attendees appreciated the highly engaging nature of the entire band and recognized it as the best part of the show.

“I really liked how interactive they were with the crowd, and it was just so aesthetically pleasing and the music was amazing,” Kirkpatrick said.

In the final twist of the night, Night swapped places with drummer Drew Thomsen, and the group came together for a rock-inspired melody. It was a definite high note to an energetic night, leaving the crowd longing for the band’s return.

Venus in retrograde may explain changes in your relationships

By Liam Hines

astrology columnist

Reflecting on life events — especially those which challenge us — using the symbolic language of astrology can have a deeply therapeutic effect. Such work helps us to strengthen our relationship with fate, so that we can be better prepared for the next time it deals us a bad hand.

To illustrate this, let us examine one of the more notable transits of the past year: Venus’s retrograde journey through Capricorn.

What does it mean when a planet stations retrograde?

While the rotation of the earth carries the planets from east to west across the sky each day, every planet, because of its rotation around the sun, gradually moves west to east.

Occasionally, a planet will seem to slow down, halt and ultimately turn and move in the oppofrom page 6

awards

Dixon said.

The SAMMYS received 171 musical submissions from 161 different artists in the central New York region in 2022. This year’s nominees and winners are chosen by a group of music industry professionals around the country, and decisions are made based on “merit within their genre,” the SAMMYS website said. The panel is led by Syracuse University Setnor School of Music professor James Abbott.

The show, poised to appreciate various music genres, began abruptly with the piercing sound of bagpipes. After Dixon gave a brief introduction, the first SAMMY Award was presented.

For multiple musicians, receiving an award was a symbol of the kinship behind their musical journey.

Fritz Scherz, son of Fritz’s Polka Band founder Fred Scherz Sr., said music brings his family together — Fritz’s son, Freddy, is from page 6

batman The movie thrives as one that can create an electrifying, gripping sequence, but also ground itself in realism and emotional stakes. Part of the problems with Ben Affleck’s Batman was how the lack of realism in those movies created a character that was both outmatched and distant. (Also, the movies were mediocre.) “The Batman” fixed that problem by separating the caped

site, eastward direction for a period of time.

This is known as retrograde motion.

During retrograde periods, the planet in question encounters setbacks, reversals and revisions to previous plans. Here the planet, being temporarily swept up in the westward, rising-and-setting motion of the sky, loses its agency and is carried through a symbolic journey to the underworld.

When Venus stations retrograde, as happens once every 18 months or so, we can expect to see these difficulties bubble up in the Venusian areas of the world and of our lives.

We see Venus in relationships, in artistic endeavors, in aesthetic beauty, in the objects of our attraction and generally in issues relating to women and femininity.

When these Venusian themes encounter the revisions, setbacks, glitches or general difficulties associated with retrograde motion, we may see breakups, the return of an ex, disruptions to the harmony of

our social lives and general troubles with our usual sources of pleasure and grace.

We may have been called to reevaluate these areas of our lives, reworking them to accommodate new complications.

Here is where you may want to have your camera roll or notes app handy to check the following dates against the recent history of your own life.

Venus entered this pre-retrograde shadow period just before Thanksgiving break last semester, on Nov. 18, 2021. She stationed retrograde in conjunction with Pluto, amplifying the intensity of the above themes, on Dec. 20, 2021, at 26 degrees of Capricorn. She concluded her retrograde journey and began the post-retrograde shadow period on Jan. 29, 2022, stationing direct at 11 degrees of Capricorn. Venus finally exited the post-retrograde shadow last Tuesday, March 1.

On March 6, Venus, after lingering in the sign for four months, finally exited Capricorn and ingressed into Aquarius.

Reflect for a moment and see what web Venus has been spinning in your life or in the lives of those around you in this time.

Did you have to readjust or revise the inner workings of any relationships in your life?

Did you lose a relationship? Did a source of sweetness suddenly disappear or turn sour? Sometimes such key events can happen in remarkably close coincidence to the dates of a planets’ retrograde and direct stations.

Certainly, some may not immediately find events in their lives which correlate with these themes. However, if you are lucky enough to see firsthand the planets at work in your life, I advise you to simply allow yourself to feel those resultant feelings of awe, wonder and humility. ljhines@syr.edu

featured on one of the songs from the band’s SAMMY-winning album.

Just before Fred Sr. died, he handed Fritz a note that read, “If I could only turn back the hands of time, what a great time we would have once more.” Scherz said that memory was the inspiration for the band’s most recent album name, “The Hands of Time.”

Jon Rogalia, whose album “Twenty Eight,” was awarded for Best Country, recalled the first time he brought up pursuing music to his family.

“I went to my dad and just said, ‘Yeah, I want to start playing music,’ and he said, ‘You probably shouldn’t. Just stick to construction,’” Rogalia said. “I’m glad I got to prove him wrong.”

His band, Jon Rogalia & The Swamp Boys, brought classic country music to the stage for the first performance of the night, showcasing their guitarists’ and drummer’s expertise along with Rogalia’s style. Letizia and the Z Band followed and lit up the stage — Letizia wore a 1970s-reminiscent, glittery outfit as she captivated people in the audience with her high notes.

After accepting the SAMMY for Best HipHop or Rap with his album “1104 Vol. 2 The Leader of Real Shhh,” VinnyVeg said music is often tied to one’s identity.

“11/04 was the day I was born, and I was born for this,” he said, and the audience erupted with applause. “I love Syracuse … I am Syracuse. And now I am Syracuse Hip-Hop.” The next performance came from Tom Kenny & The Hi-Seas, which featured guitarists, background vocalists and saxophones, and it took hold of the audience’s attention and didn’t let go. The group exhibited undeniable range as they moved between blues, jam tunes and finally, the millennial classic “The Best Day Ever” from the “SpongeBob SquarePants” soundtrack.

Kenny said during the set that the highlight of his career came when “The Best Day Ever” was included on Broadway’s rendition of the classic children’s show, and the score was then nominated for a Tony Award.

After a lively performance, which included Kenny’s famous SpongeBob voice and audience participation, Dixon returned

to the stage.

“Sorry, I just wanted to check and see if the roof was still on this place,” he said. “Did anyone else just have a moment right there?”

The theater was filled with gleeful chatter among groups of friends and family, something that wasn’t possible in the year prior.

The last SAMMYS took place in March 2020, just before lockdown mandates and quarantine guidelines were implemented in the U.S. Last year, the show was held virtually.

While it wasn’t a large focus of the show, many artists and presenters voiced their gratitude that figures in the Syracuse community could come together in person again.

While hundreds of people attended the event, the ambience in the room was that of a small town get-together. Carl Cafarelli, presenter of the Best Rock SAMMY — which was given to Not Robots! — expressed his pride in the central New York music culture.

“Oh my god, I love Syracuse,” he said. “I love Syracuse!”

crusader from the rest of the DC Extended Universe, which places Batman in a world without superpowers and one that is almost relatable to the world we currently live in.

Reeves’ film also benefits from a stellar supporting cast. Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman oozes charisma, intrigue and sexuality. Kravitz excelled in expressing layers to a character that became memorable the moment she appeared on screen. Dano creates a twisted, demented performance as the Riddler, who orchestrates fear that encapsu-

lates both the characters and the audience alike, while Colin Farrell looks unrecognizable in his Alan Dershowitz cosplay to play the always entertaining Penguin.

“The Batman” is enhanced by stellar work on the technical side. It’s clear the amount of detail that went into the production, with much of the camera work looking pristine and quite creative. It’s arguably the best looking Batman movie, and cinematographer Greig Fraser does wonders to create a stunning and memorizing picture.

There are not many superhero films that are as dark and twisted yet captivating as “The Batman.” It would have benefited from being about 20 minutes shorter, but the strength of the cast allows the film to not feel drawn-out. Although the movie may be divisive for viewers looking for action rather than a murder mystery character study, Reeves and Pattinson succeed with creating a new template that is certainly enjoyable till the very end.

Syracuse loses to NC State in final game of 1st ACC series

By Spencer Goldstein asst. copy editor

Down by one run, Syracuse entered the seventh inning in need of a rally to keep the team’s hopes of winning its first Atlantic Coast Conference series of the season alive.

Georgia Tech transfer Maddie McPherson stood on the mound for the Wolfpack.

Despite entering Sunday with only one appearance all season in which she allowed more than one earned run, she was still searching for the first complete game of her NC State career.

And without much resistance from the Orange, she got it. In just seven pitches, she sent Carli Campbell, Tessa Galipeau and Angel Jasso back to the dugout in order, securing the series win for the Wolfpack (18-3, 2-1 ACC)

over the Orange (10-6, 1-2 ACC). On Friday, NC State beat Syracuse 8-2 but the Orange responded with a 9-3 win on Saturday.

Syracuse scored the game’s first run in the bottom of the first inning as Jasso hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Campbell. But the Wolfpack responded with four unanswered runs, all off the bat of freshman Michele Tarpey, who produced three RBIs in the series opener on Friday.

NC State’s first run came in the bottom of the first off a two-out double by Tarpey. Kaylee Lambrecht scored to tie the game, but Carson Shaner was thrown out at the plate after trying to score from first base, ending the inning.

But in the third inning, the Wolfpack jumped ahead on another two-out hit by Tarpey. Kaia Oliver walked Shaner on a full count to load the bases, which Tarpey cleared to put NC State up 4-1. Ariana Adams replaced Oliver and induced a

groundout to end the inning.

After a quiet fourth inning, the Orange rebounded in the fifth inning. Angie Ramos, Jude Padilla and Paris Woods started the inning with three consecutive singles, bringing Campbell up with the bases loaded and nobody out. Campbell cashed in on the scoring opportunity with a single of her own and Galipeau followed her up with a base hit down the right field line — Syracuse’s fifth straight single — to tie the game.

The Orange were in prime position to retake the lead with Galipeau on first base, Campbell on third and Jasso at the plate with no outs. Pitcher Jolie Gustave came in to pinch run for Galipeau and Jasso worked the count full.

She then ripped a line drive to first base, directly at Tarpey, who completed the unas-

sisted double play. Campbell remained at third, but another lineout, this time by Neli Casares-Maher, ended the inning.

Adams forced two groundouts on three pitches to begin the bottom of the fifth inning and it appeared the Orange would escape the frame. But with two outs, Logan Morris drove the second pitch she saw over the wall in left field to retake the lead.

Syracuse had a scoring opportunity in the sixth after Kelly Breen was hit by the first pitch of the inning. Olivia Pess pinch ran for her and stole second, eventually advancing to third on a wild pitch with two outs. But McPherson neutralized the threat, forcing Woods to pop up on the first pitch to retain the Wolfpack’s 5-4 lead. spgoldst@syr.edu @spencerg_24

Ines Fonte wins doubles and single matches during SU’s win

By Tyler Schiff staff writer

Sophomore Ines Fonte opened her doubles play today with a series of line drives past Clemson pair Eleni Louka and Lana Sipek to race out to an early two-set lead.

From there, Fonte only built on the early lead, delivering a deadly combination of strong serves and steady forehands to put the No. 3 doubles matchup out of the Tigers’ reach. Just a couple of rallies later, she stood disciplined in her unorthodox stance before watching a stray shot from Louka go wide, securing an Orange victory.

The stellar play from Fonte and partner Viktoriya Kanapatskaya would end up in a comfortable 6-2 win helping Syracuse secure the doubles point. This marked the second straight doubles victory for the tandem, and from page 12

hobart wide-open on the right side of the field, sending a bouncing left-handed shot into the back of the net to give the Orange a 6-3 lead.

But the Statesmen quickly answered back, capitalizing on Syracuse’s defensive mistakes to tie the game at six. Another man-up opportunity allowed Hobart to tie the game again later in the half, but Dordevic was left unmarked again as two defenders jumped onto Cook.

With a left-handed strike, Dordevic scored his fourth goal of the second period, giving Syracuse an 8-7 lead. And following a score from Mikey Berkman, Curry scored his third goal, coming off a screen from Cook that left him with an open strike from 12 yards out.

adjust. Head coach Kayla Treanor noted the “hectic” Blue Devils used a double faceguard in their zone to throw Syracuse off.

But SU improved in the second quarter through better draw control play and fewer turnovers. The Orange were also strong in the one-on-one matchups Carney had with defender. On one play, Carney made a quick move to the left and gained a step on Natalie Kahn. She then took a shot that went to the right side of the net to make the game 10-7.

Syracuse went into halftime now only down by four, but a quick start in the third quarter helped it tie the game. Meaghan opened up the third quarter with back-toback goals. First, she received a pass from Hawryschuk who sent the ball from over the net. Then, the Orange won the ensuing

Fonte won convincingly in her singles match as well, not dropping a single game in the second set.

Just two days ago, the pair bested Georgia Tech’s Gia Cohen and Ruth Marsh in their return to Drumlins Country Club after the Orange were unable to pick up their first Atlantic Coast Conference team win against Virginia and Virginia Tech. Despite their slow start to league play, head coach Younes Limam said he was impressed by the chemistry between the sophomore pairing.

“Those two have been playing together for quite some time and they’ve had so much success when they’re confident,” Limam said.

“They get along extremely well and so that’s why we’ve stuck with them so far.”

Still, Fonte’s recent achievements alongside Kanapatskaya haven’t carried onto the singles front. After battling an injury late in

her eventual defeat to the University of Buffalo’s Azra Deniz Comlek on Feb. 12, Fonte was forced out of Syracuse’s final preseason game against Niagara University.

But with the start of the Orange’s ACC campaign postponed due to Boston College’s COVID-19 complications, Fonte was able to return against Virginia Tech. She struggled in her first ACC game, losing to sophomore Katie Andreini 6-3, 6-4. And Fonte picked up her second and third singles losses in a row, losing 6-1, 6-2 to Virginia’s Hibah Shaikh before falling to Georgia Tech’s Cohen in a tiebreaker.

Fonte bounced back on Sunday, winning her first singles matchup since Feb. 6 and downing Clemson’s Ali DeSpain in the No. 6 spot 6-4, 6-0.

“Ines played to her strengths. She didn’t rush herself or force anything and I’m super

proud of her,” Limam said. “I know she wanted that win badly and she’s been working her way through a lot of adversity.”

Early in her match with DeSpain, Fonte jumped out to a quick lead. The second-year hard-hitter never seemed to have too much trouble with her opponent as she sat back and confidently played each ball, forcing DeSpain to run from sideline to sideline.

DeSpain made the first set close, but Fonte seemed to find her stride and rhythm in the second, winning in dominant fashion.

DeSpain didn’t win a single game. “(Fonte) did a great job starting the match very well, being up 5-2 in the first set,” Limam said. “(DeSpain) ended up making a comeback, but Ines stuck to her game plan, stayed positive and continued to take what was given to her.”

poles,” Dordevic said. “So we set a good pick, and it worked.”

game with two straight goals.

But like he had done countless times already on Sunday, Dordevic took control of the attack and extended Syracuse’s lead. With nine minutes left in the third period, Dordevic ran down the right side of the field, finding Seebold for a score on the left as he approached the crease.

Curry got back on the board four minutes later, charging down the center of the field off of a quick screen from Dordevic. He raised his stick high with his right hand, sending a bullet to the back of the net from 15 yards out.

Hobart continued to threaten the Orange’s lead at the start of the fourth period, going on a 4-2 run to make it a one-score game. Curry tried to give SU its momentum back, shooting again from the middle, but goalie Loukas Sotiropoulos easily caught his attempt.

With three minutes left in the game, Curry flipped the ball to Dordevic on the left side, allowing him to wait at the edge of the field while

Syracuse tried to run down a chunk of the clock.

He eventually curled to the front of the cage, sending an underhand shot that hit the left post.

Curry said the Statesmen moved into a zone defense during the final frame, something that the American players from SU aren’t used to because of their lack of box lacrosse background. “We didn’t see a zone for most of our life,” Curry said.

But in the final 15 seconds, Curry took the ball in Dordevic’s position at the right side of the field. As the Statesmen left the cage empty, Curry worked alone against a double team, sending the final dagger into the back of the net.

“With a one-goal lead with a couple seconds left I was going to get doubled anyways, so if I had the angle, I might as well put it in,” Curry said.

the day and the Orange’s lead grew to three. But in the last five minutes of the game, Barry and Carner quickly notched scores to make it a one-goal game. Then, Barry sprinted with the ball to the front of the net as Bianca Chevarie pressured her. With an opening in the 8-meter, Barry took a hard bounce shot that hit the post.

Hower was able to hit the ball away from the net to make a crucial stop, and give the Orange control of the ball until Swart’s goal buried any chance of another blown fourth-quarter lead like against Northwestern and Notre Dame.

“For Sam (it was a) clutch goal to finish that in that pressure moment,” Treanor said. “They were able to wind down the clock the whole way, which we asked them to do.”

If you’re not defending those two great players with six people, they’re going to score goals Greg Raymond hobart head coach

At the start of the second half, Curry sent an underhand shot that went just by the right post. Dordevic found the back of the net a few possessions later, but after he missed high, the Statesmen brought themselves back into the draw and Swart dumped off to Meaghan, who then fired a bounce shot past LeRose to make the score 12-10.

Minutes later, Jalyn Jimerson fired a low shot in the 8-meter that beat LeRose.

Meaghan, held scoreless in the first half, scored the Orange’s next two goals as the end of the third quarter saw the two teams tied.

To start the final quarter, Carney scored her first goal quickly with a hard shot past LeRose. And after Duke’s Olivia Carner scored to tie the game again, Swart streaked down the left side of Duke’s half with the ball with a chance to give Syracuse a lead for the first time since the first quarter. Swart had multiple options to pass to, but she saw Carney softly guarded.

Swart decided to send the ball down to Carney, who had frequently taken advantage of oneon-one matchups and had Kay Conway guarding her. While Carney had used many quick moves

Syracuse ends 3-game losing streak with win over Clemson

By Irie Harris staff writer

In the midst of Viktoriya Kanapatskaya’s match point to complete the miraculous comeback, the lights went out. The internet went out, too, resulting in the live scoreboard on the big television going black. After a near 90-minute delay, play resumed, and Kanapatskaya was on the verge of bouncing back after one of her worst set performances of the season.

She lost her first set 6-2 but won the second 6-1 after a stretch of backhanded returns.

Kanapatskaya was now in a 5-4 match point situation. After a few shots returned from both sides, Kanapatskaya hit a powerful shot, clinching her last set and the match to put Syracuse ahead 3-0 and improving her singles record to 8-3.

Coming off three straight losses, Syracuse dominated the Clemson Tigers 4-0 on Sunday to earn its first Atlantic Coast Conference win of the season.

During doubles play, Shiori Ito and Sofya Treshcheva went down early in their match.

They trailed 4-2 and were unable to handle Clemson’s hard-hitting duo of Cristina Mayorova and Daniella Medvedeva and eventually lost 6-3. But in the next doubles match, Kanapatskaya and Ines Fonte beat the Tiger duo of Lana Sipek and Eleni Louka to win 6-2, improving their record to 7-2 as a pair.

With the doubles play tied at 1-1, SU’s Polina Kozyreva and Miyuka Kimoto were in a continuous back and forth battle with Clemson’s Samantha Buyckx and Ali DeSpain.

Kozyreva and Kimoto split the first few games and led 5-4. But the Tigers’ duo came back and won the next two games, putting SU down 6-5. Kozyreva started the 12th game of the set by running towards the net with a forehand volley to grab the first point, as the duo cruised to a win to force the match into a tiebreaker.

Then, Kozyreva ended the match the same way she started it when Syracuse was trailing 6-5 — with a forehand volley to win the tiebreaker 7-6 (6-3), improving their doubles play record to 5-2. SU won

doubles play 2-1 and earned the doubles point to lead 1-0.

“It was amazing. That was a tough doubles match, and that gave us a lot of momentum going into the singles play,” head coach Younes Limam said.

I’m super proud of how she reacted with a lot of pressure on her. She stayed calm and did what she needed to do.

Younes Limam head coach

For the first time in exactly a month, Fonte cruised her way to a win in her singles match 6-4 and 6-0. Fonte had the ability to play to her strengths within herself without rushing it.

“I know she wanted to win badly. She’s been working her way through a lot of adversity, and she did a great job,” Limam said.

Prior to the power outage, Kimoto was in a tough matchup with Louka, where she lost a tight second set 7-6. But afterward, Kimoto cruised to a consistent 6-2 set win.

“I’m super proud of how she reacted with a lot of pressure on her. She stayed calm and did what she needed to do,” Limam said.

Treshcheva found herself down 1-0 after a 6-3 loss in the first set and came back to win her second set 7-5. Ito also earned a singles point, winning her first set 6-2, but then lost her second set 6-3.

Kozyreva fell early, losing 6-4 in the first set against Clemson’s Jenna Thompson’s hard-hitting play. But Kozyreva came back to win her second set 6-2. The final set was tied 3-3 before going unfinished.

The Orange next face North Carolina and Duke in two away matches on March 18 and March 20, respectively. irharris@syr.edu

Syracuse nearly loses to Hobart with turnovers, penalties

By Alex Cirino

asst. sports editor

Owen Seebold had just erased a 3-1 Hobart run in the early stages of the third quarter, as Syracuse led by two. On the next possession, Seebold found Mikey Berkman in front of Hobart’s net, but he was pressured.

As he tried to avoid the onrushing Dan Ryan, the ball fumbled out of Berkman’s stick and Hobart picked up the loose ball and successfully cleared it. The ball went to Ryan Archer along the right wing, who quickly lobbed the ball to the left side for Bobby Baltzer, who made it a one-goal game.

Losing possession on turnovers and penalties nearly cost the Orange their fourth consecutive loss in a back-andforth Kraus-Simmons Trophy game.

Syracuse (2-3, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) committed over 15 turnovers for the second consecutive game in its 18-16 win over Hobart (2-2), the second-most this season.

The Orange also committed six penalties which led to five of the Statesman’s goals.

In its midweek loss to No. 12 Army, Syracuse committed its season-high in turnovers, its most in a single game since 2019.

The Black Knights also capitalized on two of three man-up opportunities, including one at the beginning of the fourth quarter which saw Army take the lead for the final time.

Against Hobart, Syracuse matched that penalty total by halftime, and the Statesmen capitalized quickly on all three manup chances. In the second half, Saam Olexo was called for holding, and Archer scored on an open lane to tie the game at six after Grant Murphy failed to slide over in time.

Six minutes later, as Tucker Dordevic scored to pull Syracuse ahead by one goal, Brandon Aviles committed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which allowed Anthony Dattellas to score immediately on a low bouncing shot past Harrison Thompson to tie the game once again.

“With our aggressive style of play, we’re able to draw a lot of penalties and are able to capitalize on those,” Archer said.

“We’ve got great guys, great shooters and

smart players, and I think when we have that extra guy I think it’s an advantage.”

Among Syracuse’s five penalties were two faceoff violations from Jakob Phaup, once in the first quarter and the second in the fourth.

They both led to Hobart goals that led to a momentum switch at opposite ends of the game — a game which saw five lead changes.

The first came early in the first quarter, as Phaup committed a faceoff violation that allowed Tommy Mott to score from the left wing to pull Hobart ahead 3-2.

Then, with Syracuse up by three goals three minutes into the fourth quarter, Phaup put the Orange a man-down for the fifth time of the game.

“They have a lot of shooters all over the field,” Murphy said. “They like to run a lefty kind of waterfall play, and that’s something we don’t see a ton, where a team is dominant with lefties.”

Murphy said that Syracuse is still trying to figure out which man-down unit best suits it. Syracuse entered the game having allowed seven man-up goals, having only killed off 58.8% percent of them. It was also

tied for 10th in caused turnovers per game.

Meanwhile, Hobart had scored five times on 11 man-up attempts, and on Sunday, Murphy believed that the Statesmen, who entered the game on the fringe of Inside Lacrosse’s rankings, put together a new man-up attack to exploit a penaltyheavy Orange side.

“It’s also early in the year and there’s less time to figure out what man-up plays are gonna get thrown at you,” Murphy said. “It’s a really big game for (the Statesmen) and they’re ready to throw something new at us.”

Still, Syracuse managed to win another Kraus-Simmons Trophy, but not at the expense of its season lows. Head coach Gary Gait said the win could be meaningful enough to put the Orange on track to handle a schedule full of ranked opponents.

“It is what it is,” Gait said. “When you hoist up the trophy, all that matters is that it says Syracuse on it.” cirinoalex19@gmail.com @alexcirino19

Meaghan Tyrrell’s 3rd-quarter goal surge ignites comeback win

By Cole Bambini asst. copy editor

Meaghan Tyrrell had the ball on the right side of the 12-meter. Besides the goalkeeper, the only one in her path to the goal was Duke’s Kay Conway. Meaghan dodged past Conway and approached goalie Sophia LeRose, slipping it past her and scoring the final goal of a 4-0 third-quarter run that leveled the game at 12.

The goal forced Duke head coach Kerstin Kimel to call a timeout as the Blue Devils had blown a seven-goal, first-quarter lead. After being silenced in the first half, Meaghan’s goal was just one of four that she had in the third quarter alone as her third-quarter dominance ignited No. 3 Syracuse’s (5-1, 2-0 ACC) comeback victory over No. 7 Duke (6-1, 0-1 ACC) as SU avoided losing consecutive games for the first time since 2018.

Against Northwestern on Tuesday, Meaghan was not in the usual form that Syracuse has seen this season. Despite usually finding scoring opportunities with ease this season, Meaghan found the net only once against the Wildcats and fellow attack Emily Hawryschuk carried the bulk of the load, recording a career-high nine points.

In the first half on Sunday against the Blue Devils, it seemed Meaghan was continuing the mini-slump as she was held scoreless despite the team finishing with eight first-half goals.

But out the break, Meaghan built off the momentum the Orange had started to build in the second quarter. It didn’t happen immediately as Duke won the opening draw to start the second half. Duke didn’t score, and a few minutes later, after Meaghan scooped up a ground ball, the ball made its way to Hawryschuk on the left side of the 12-meter.

Hawryschuk dodged and ultimately decided to move behind the goal, but sneaking in front of the cage was Meaghan.

Hawryschuk quickly connected with Meaghan on the short, easy pass as SU’s season-leading goal-scorer put away the look for her first goal of the afternoon, ending a goalless drought that stretched over 50 minutes between Tuesday’s game and Sunday’s.

“Duke was sending their defense early for second slides, so being able to draw that attention, have our backside be open was something we were really focusing on especially as the pressure kept coming,”

Meaghan said.

Seconds later, after Meaghan’s younger sister Emma Tyrrell recorded a draw control, Meaghan scored her second goal of the game on a Sam Swart assist as SU now only trailed 12-10. Draw improvements gave the Orange more scoring opportunities. In the first quarter, SU lost the draw control 9-3 while keeping it nearly even for the last three quarters.

After Meaghan’s equalized the game at 12 with 8:22 left in the third quarter, it marked her third goal of a 4-0 SU run that happened in just under four minutes. And while Duke responded and ended its scoring drought, Meaghan returned the favor with just over two minutes left in the third.

Similar to her previous goal, Meaghan tried to dodge around a Duke defender. She struggled to get around Katie Cosgrove’s tight defense — even losing her balance — but as Meaghan slowly tumbled to the ground, she sneaked in a low-rolling shot around Cosgrove that beat LeRose and tied the game at 13.

“We’re really good in the third quarter,” head coach Kayla Treanor said. “(Meaghan) did awesome and she was able to see the net, finish and it was just more

organized in the third quarter.”

After Megan Carney gave SU its first lead since when it led 1-0, Meaghan received a pass from her sister and dodged through multiple Blue Devils before shooting the ball from just outside the cage to give her five goals and the Orange a 16-14 lead.

Carney matched Meaghan’s strong performance with another of her own. Carney also scored five goals, including three in the fourth quarter that put Syracuse up 17-14.

But just like Notre Dame, Northwestern and Stony Brook did, Duke started to narrow down that Syracuse lead, and it only trailed 17-16 with three minutes left. This time, though, SU secured the win, fueled

by Meaghan’s third-quarter surge. It was the surge that managed to get Syracuse back in the game and, in the end, lift them over a Blue Devils team that had entered the game outscoring its opponents 131-39.

“Being down 9-2, like mentally, physically that’s not easy so for us to come out here and play the rest of the game with our heads up and be able to put up 18 goals on the board and come back to win. That’s so huge,” Meaghan said. colebambini@gmail.com @ColeBambini

Syracuse ended its three-game losing streak against Hobart behind five goals each from Tucker Dordevic and Brendan Curry

Syracuse comes back to beat Duke

T

ucker Dordevic knelt in front of the Kraus-Simmons Trophy just outside of the field of play after receiving a delay of game penalty in the third period.

He lifted his helmet, resting it on his forehead as Hobart took advantage of the man-up opportunity, cutting the Orange’s lead to two. Once his 30 seconds were over, Dordevic returned to the field as Jakob Phaup ran up to the X, settling in his usual spot on the right side.

Phaup won the faceoff, and while the ball circled around the left side, Dordevic motioned Griffin Cook to set a screen for him. The duo perfectly timed the play, with Cook creating just enough separation for Dordevic to emerge wide-open as Brendan Curry curled to the right side of the field. Dordevic immediately launched the ball off a pass from Curry, finding the top right corner of the net to maintain SU’s lead.

“If you’re not defending those two great players with six people, they’re going to score goals,” Hobart’s head coach Greg Raymond said about Dordevic and Curry postgame. “They both had their two best games.”

Last season, Syracuse and Hobart were unable to play

their battle for the Kraus-Simmons Trophy, the first time since 1961 that the two teams didn’t face off within a single year. On Sunday, the Orange hoisted the trophy for the eighth straight time, defeating the Statesmen 18-16. Dordevic matched the five goals he posted against Hobart two years ago, and Curry aided him with five scores on his own.

Hobart took an early 2-0 lead as Syracuse struggled to establish its attack from behind the cage in the first period. Dordevic or Owen Seebold tried to facilitate the offense, but neither were successful as Seebold fell to the ground before Dordevic had the ball knocked out of his stick on the same possession.

Curry got on the board first for SU after Phaup won his first battle at the faceoff X. Curry, who has struggled this season with the 16th-best shooting percentage on the team, found the back of the net from 6 yards out off a pass from Pete Fiorini. He scored on his own three minutes later, running down the left side of the field before shooting with his left hand.

Dordevic stayed quiet during the first period, but SU was able to get him open at the beginning of the second period with a screen from Lucas Quinn. And following a defensive mishap from the Statesmen, Dordevic was left

Syracuse had possession up by one with less than a minute left. Emily Hawryschuk held the ball and moved closer to the net, drawing multiple Duke defenders as midfielder Sam Swart moved toward the 8-meter.

Hawryschuk found Swart, and her shot got past the right shoulder of goalkeeper Sophia LeRose, increasing the Orange’s lead to two goals.

Swart’s goal gave SU a lead it wouldn’t relinquish. Megan Carney and Meaghan Tyrrell cemented an 18-16 comeback win for No. 3 Syracuse (5-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) over No. 7 Duke (6-1, 0-1 ACC).

The Blue Devils dominated the Orange on both sides of the ball in the first quarter, going up 9-2 after 15 minutes, but SU’s offense improved by connecting on passes and controlling the ball better.

“We had a game plan in place … and in the first half that kind of wasn’t working for me,” Meaghan said. “I guess I had a mental shift of really executing and focusing on (the shift of play).”

In the last 17 minutes, the two teams went back-and-forth, and the score was tied for much of the fourth quarter. But Meaghan and Carney combined for seven goals in the second half and Kimber Hower made four clutch saves to give the Orange the win, defeating a highpowered Blue Devils’ offense.

In the first quarter, Duke’s depth was on display as seven dif ferent players recorded at least one point. After Hawryschuk scored the game’s first goal less than a minute into the game, Duke outscored SU 9-1 for the rest of the 15 minutes. After receiving a pass from behind the net, Eva Greco opened the scoring for the Blue Devils.

The defense didn’t improve for the rest of the quarter. The Blue Devils controlled the ball as sophomore Katie Keller held onto the ball and quickly moved past SU defenders and midfielders to create attacking plays.

In the first quarter, Catriona Barry tallied four assists and scored a free-position goal with four and a half minutes left in the quarter. Caroline DeBellis scored her second goal of the day a minute later by pump-faking defenders to make the score 7-1.

When the Orange did have the ball, they struggled to create any attacks. Swart missed on a pass to Savannah Sweitzer in the 8-meter, and many passes to Hawryschuk were high and forced the fifth-year senior to see duke page 8
