‘Break the stigma’

NYS to allocate cannabis permits

ike Dahl celebrated 4/20 for the fi rst time in 1991.

Thirty one years later, Dahl and all New Yorkers over 21 that use marijuana will be able to legally celebrate the cannabis-centered holiday for the second year. Though the state legalized cannabis shortly before April 20 last year, COVID-19 restrictions and unclear regulations during last year’s celebration makes this year a pivotal landmark for the cannabis industry, Dahl said. “(4/20) was always a big thing

even when (marijuana) was illegal,” said Dahl, owner of Flower City Home Grown Consulting. “It’s definitely a big day for the industry all across the board.”

Dahl, various cannabis entrepreneurs, Syracuse University students and other experts told The Daily Orange they hope this year’s 4/20 celebrations are just one step toward growth in the industry and de-stigmatization of cannabis use both in New York state and across the U.S. Although many state governments, including New York’s, made plans to bring legal cannabis to market quickly, the process often takes longer than expected, said Sumer Thomas, director of regulatory operations at Canna Advisors.

Legislators in New York state unveiled plans to permit the opening of the first recreational marijuana retailers by the end of the year. New York is expected to become the largest market that is intentionally designed to support the communities most affected by the war on drugs, according to New York Gov. Hochul’s office.

Hochul tapped Chris Alexander to lead the New York State Office of Cannabis Management, which is responsible for creating and implementing cannabis regulation. Alexander, a Syracuse University alumnus, is working to put New York on a different path from other states that have legalized the sale of marijuana.

The Seeding Opportunity Initiative — announced by Hochul on March 10 — plans to make people previously convicted of marijuana-related offenses a priority when granting retail licenses to sell the drug.

“We are now on the path to doing what no state has done before — put our farmers and equity entrepreneurs, not big, out of state businesses, at the forefront of the launch of our adult-use cannabis market,” Alexander said in the March 10 press release.

The state plan also said it prioritizes businesses owned by racial minorities, women, distressed farmers and service-disabled veterans.

New York considers these groups equity entrepreneurs, collectively.

Though, there has been criticism regarding the state’s plan due to the many requirements to receive a license, according to reporting from The City.

Licensees will have to prove that they have owned a legal and profitable business previously as well as provide two years of financial statements, according to the report.

There is also a $2,000 non-refundable application fee.

The state intends to allocate 50% of adult-use cannabis licenses to equity entrepreneurs, although there is no mandate that explicitly requires that to happen.

Communities that are disproportionately affected by historical drug policies will receive 40% of cannabis tax revenues, according to the New York State Office of see retailer page 4

PR students raise awareness for lymphoma Syracuse increases tuition by 4.5%

By Richard Perrins news editor

The Syracuse University branch of the PRSSA, based at Newhouse, worked to educate adolescents and young adults about the Lymphoma Research Foundation.

contributing writer

The Public Relations Society of America at Syracuse University partnered with the Bateman Case Study competition this year to raise awareness for the Lymphoma Research Foundation – the nation’s leading nonprofit organization for supporting lymphoma research and patient services.

According to the PRSSA’s website, the Bateman competition challenges teams of college students to research, plan, implement and evaluate a public relations campaign focused on spreading awareness on lymphoma. The competition aims to spread awareness by providing resources and connecting with those affected by the disease.

This year, public relations students were tasked with educating adolescents and young adults about supporting the foundation’s campaign efforts for funding lymphoma research.

Sophie Baron, a member of

Syracuse’s PRSSA who hopes to specialize in healthcare PR, said she was excited to be a part of such a campaign for that reason.

“At a previous internship, I studied Kymriah, which is a CAR-T cell therapy that treats lymphoma,” she said. “I really thought my knowledge about the disease and about the different treatments would make me a successful member of this team.”

The Syracuse PRSSA started off by hosting tabling events at the Schine Student Center and the Newhouse School of Public Communications in late February, where PR students attracted peers by offering hot chocolate.

They interacted with the tables, which allowed the members of the PRSSA team to better understand their audience.

As a part of the initial round of tabling, peers would take surveys so the PRSSA team could obtain a baseline of knowledge on how to target an adolescent and young adult audience.

Peers signed pledges towards

supporting the foundation as a part of a second round of tabling a week or two later designed to spread awareness of the disease. The campaign’s message was spread via social media by professors and students who interacted with the PRSSA table.

D.J. Davis, the vice president of community relations for Syracuse’s PRSSA, said one woman he met while tabling who was moved enough to share her personal story.

“That was a really powerful moment. I think in that small instance, our team realized that it wasn’t just a competition anymore — it was about trying to show our peers some important statistics and facts that can help them be more vigilant in lymphoma knowledge,” Davis said.

These surveys taken revealed that many who approached the tables were unaware of lymphoma or the Lymphoma Research Foundation. When students were asked what the most common blood cancer amongst people aged 18-39

was, the most common answer was leukemia, which demonstrated unawareness of lymphoma among this age range, Davis said.

The disease is not properly understood by this demographic, Davis said. The additional challenge of raising awareness for it compelled the Syracuse PRSSA team to make their campaign relatable to the affected adolescent and young adult audience.

Equipped with this data, the team honed their focus on strategizing the awareness campaign through social media. The team created an Instagram page that provides a helpline number in its biography for patients or anyone looking for more information. In addition, the campaign included highlight stories with a different theme for each day of the week.

“Protect-Me-Mondays” provided information on the symptoms of lymphoma, and “Team LRF Tuesdays” showcased the Syracuse PRSSA’s triathlon team with a goal to see lymphoma page 4

GSO Senate discusses grad student funding

By Francis Tang asst. news editor

During the Graduate Student Organization Senate meeting Wednesday, GSO President Yousr Dhaouadi revealed the results of a survey conducted by the organization on funding for graduate students at Syracuse University.

The survey, conducted among 286 respondents across 65 departments, revealed that the average monthly salary for graduate students at SU during the semesters is below $2,000.

The same survey revealed that approximately one-third of 151 doctoral student respondents, excluding first-year students, answered “no” to ever receiving summer funding.

Dhaouadi referenced the aver-

age housing cost from SU’s cost of attendance website, which is valued about $1,160 per month. She also said the average cost of living without rent for a single person is just above $900 per month. The two combined exceed the average salary SU graduate students are getting, Dhaoudi said.

“So if you add that together, what students are reporting to be getting per month over the year is short of what the school and the city tells you you need per month to survive as a human,” Dhaouadi said.

Dhaouadi said during the meeting that she will file a report based on the survey responses to the Board of Trustees next week.

During the meeting, GSO Vice President for Internal Affairs Daniel Kimmel proposed a constitutional amendment to

create a new communication secretary executive position. The organization currently has two secretarial positions that assist the internal and financial operations, respectively.

Kimmel wrote in the proposal that the workload upon the recording secretary is too great and exceeds the intent of this position.

Simply increasing pay, they said, would not solve the issue.

The proposed new position will be responsible for assisting the external vice president on recruiting senators from academic programs lacking GSO Senate representation. The role will also aid in increasing the organization’s visibility, putting together organizational events and managing advertising, according to the proposed resolution.

Additionally, the position will be responsible for maintaining and updating the organization’s public documents, forms and website. The communications secretary will also be able to serve in the University Senate when one of the organization’s seats is not filled. GSO will vote on the resolution in their next meeting on May 4.

The meeting also passed a resolution that was introduced on March 23, which would increase the number of at-large senate seats from six to 10. Any GSO members may fill these seats without restriction, the resolution reads. Five of the seats would be elected in the annual elections special meeting and the other five will be filled at the first meeting of the fall semester. btang05@syr.edu @francis_towne

Tuition for full-time undergraduate students at Syracuse University will rise to $58,440 for the 2022-23 academic year, according to an SU News release Tuesday.

The increase means tuition will rise again by 4.5% from the 2021-22 academic year, when tuition was $55,920 for undergraduate students.

SU’s 2022-23 budget includes almost $327 million for student financial aid — an increase of nearly 9%, according to the release. The allocation breaks the record of $307 million set for 2021-22.

Room rates for most full-time new and returning undergraduate students will be $9,520, according to the release.

Board rates will decrease to $7,650, the release said. The Blue Unlimited meal plan, cited in the release, costs $8,270 for the 2021-22 academic year.

$58,440 Total tuition for the 202223 academic year for undergraduates

SU’s health and wellness fee will increase to $822 for the 2022-23 academic year, according to the release. For 2021-22, the mandatory fee was $782, which was among the highest of its peer institutions.

There will be no increase in fees such as the student activity, cocurricular and resident internet and cable access and service fees, according to the release.

“This historic investment in financial aid will allow the university to offer a distinctive experience to diverse students from across the socioeconomic spectrum,” said Ryan Williams, SU’s vice president for enrollment services. “Returning students have persevered despite pandemic-related challenges. This investment in financial aid helps ensure that they earn their degrees in a timely manner.”

Stipends for graduate students assistants will increase by an average of 3% in the budget, with the new minimum stipend set at $16,980.

“Graduate students play a key role in advancing the university’s academic and research priorities.

I am proud of the work we have done to date and look forward to further collaboration,” said Peter Vanable, dean of the Graduate School and associate provost for graduate studies. rcperrin@syr.edu @RichardPerrins2

stigma York is rolling out its regulations at a normal pace, she added, but in doing so, the state is able to create an even stronger program.

“New York is being vanguard with the program,” she said. “They are not just going about it the way we’ve seen other states try and fail with licensing, specifically social equity licensing.

They have a really good thing going here.”

Federal tax policies only allow cannabis entrepreneurs to deduct cost of goods sold as an expense, and they cannot claim overhead costs such as rent or utilities, making their gross profit seem higher. But New York opted out from this policy at the state level, providing some tax relief to cannabis entrepreneurs, said Nick Agrippino, tax manager at Bowers & Company and head of the firm’s cannabis and hemp consulting group practice.

On April 9, the state approved Gov. Kathy Hochul’s 2023 budget, which included an exemption to this rule, allowing cannabis entrepreneurs to deduct some overhead costs from gross income, rather than only deducting the cost of the product they sold, Agrippino said.

“Generally their cost of goods sold is what they buy their product for,” he said. “But they have all these overhead expenses like utilities, rent, budtenders.”

Cannabis entrepreneurs in New York will be able to save on their state tax return, though they will still have to file the federal return without deducting the overhead costs, Agrippino said. Other states have been slower to adopt similar policies, he said.

While policy changes are important, changing the negative stigma surrounding marijuana use is essential, and will take time, Dahl and Agrippino said. Marijuana is still a schedule one drug at the federal level — it is seen as a dangerous drug with no medical use.

“We grew up in the war on drugs. (Marijuana) has a very bad stigma, and I’m trying to break that stigma,” Dahl said.

Charles Messina, a partner at Genova Burns LLC and co-chair of the firm’s cannabis practice group, noted that the stigma stems from marijuana’s deep-rooted history and

dailyorange.com news@dailyorange.com

could take years to undo. Many states originally criminalized cannabis in the early 20th century to prevent Mexican immigration following the Mexican Revolution.

SU students agreed with experts that there is more work to be done to remove negative stigma.

“It’s legal, it’s not like I’m doing heroin in the park,” said Payne Edelman, an SU sophomore studying policy studies. “I just want to see dispensaries, see (marijuana) sold and consumed, and treated like it would be alcohol, which practically every adult uses in their life.”

SU senior Zach Kalt said that while there still is a stigma surrounding marijuana usage, he expects some adults to also become more open about their personal experience with cannabis going forward, especially because its use is often looked down upon post-college.

“People drink alcohol ‘cause they want to get drunk. People smoke weed ‘cause they want to get high,” Kalt said. “People that were once secretive about it, shy about it, they’ll start to be more open about it.”

Jennifer Roselle, another partner at Genova Burns LLC and co-chair of the firm’s cannabis practice group, said alcohol and marijuana consumption are legally the same in New York state.

Aggripino said that once recreational sales start and people see that their day to day lives are unaffected, the stigma could start to fade, though it may never go away completely.

“The stigma (is) always going to be there in some form or another,” he said. “It’s kind of the unfortunate truth.”

But for Mike Golden and Byron Cage, cofounders of The Higher Calling, destigmatizing marijuana use is critical, and the two hope to use their brand to help stop the stigma and diversify the cannabis industry.

“Hopefully it’ll begin to get a little more normalized, that’s what we’ve been trying to do as a brand and organization,” Golden said.

“Right now our mission is to break some of the drug, race and neighborhood stigmas around cannabis and cannabis users.”

Golden and Cage’s brand currently focuses on encouraging people who may have previous experiences in the industry’s illicit market to pursue careers within the legal realm and

develop “generational wealth” for their families. The duo also sells clothing items and has already begun plans to expand their businesses into a small-plate infused THC cafe, which will open once licenses become available.

Messina said that the state is attempting to be equitable and prioritize welfare throughout the legalization process.

“They’re trying to do it the right way and be socially conscious about it,” he said. “We want to try to right the wrongs of the War on Drugs and how much it bludgeoned our communities of color.”

W hen recreational cannabis sales begin, Kalt said he will feel safer knowing that the product has been tested and approved for sale, given the protocols in place. While “weed trucks” roam around New York City selling actual marijuana flower to consumers, they may not know where the product is coming from and if it’s safe since the state hasn’t administered recreational licenses yet, he said.

“You just have no idea how these companies got it, where they got it, if it’s legal for you to buy it,” he said.

Roselle said that safety regulations are one of the biggest concerns for consumers and distributors as the market prepares to launch.

Still, entrepreneurs and students are eager to celebrate 4/20.

Golden and Cage are planning a 4/20 concert at the Westcott Theater featuring five sets of performers. They expect the event to be one of many celebrations of cannabis culture across the city.

Kalt and Edelman said that they expect to see people out and about celebrating 4/20, especially given the cannabis culture associated with college campuses. COVID-19 curbed some celebrations last year, and Edelman hopes to spend time with friends outside during the day, he said.

New York state laws are unique in that they allow for cannabis consumption anywhere tobacco is permitted, which could encourage more widespread 4/20 celebrations, Thomas said.

“People are going to be smoking on the streets with no repercussions,” she said.

Hillary Peckham, chief operating officer of Etain Health, said 4/20 is an opportunity to celebrate the industry and cannabis culture.

“4/20 provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate how far the cannabis industry in New York has come and continue to educate the public on how the plant can be used,” she said in a statement to The D.O. Beyond just 4/20 celebrations, experts and entrepreneurs said that New York state has the potential to be a leader in the cannabis industry going forward.

Dahl said the amount of money circulating in the state gives it the opportunity to be successful. Messina and Roselle said that New York City’s cultural influence could turn it into the epicenter for the cannabis industry. New York has seen what other states have done to roll out the legal market and can adapt its processes accordingly, Cage said.

“As New Yorkers, we want to be the best at everything we do,” Cage said. “We’ll be able to develop a really strong system to be at the forefront of this industry.”

Messina and Roselle said that there is a certain pressure for New York to get started because of its bordering states — New Jersey legalized marijuana in February 2021, while Connecticut legalized it in June 2021, shortly after New York state.

Agrippino said that while the primary market will be in New York City, central New York has the opportunity to use its agricultural skill to help with cultivation and processing, and dispensaries will have opportunities as well.

“How we fit into that niche field is that upstate can handle the cultivation and processing end of it and then has the opportunity to meet that demand downstate as well,” he said.

Still, to Thomas, New York City will be a leader in destigmatizing marijuana use nationwide and worldwide as the industry continues to grow.

“When you see folks in suits and ties working on Wall Street smoking up a doobie, it’s going to relieve some of that stigma from the rest of the country,” Thomas said.

because they know it’s all cash,” Hogan said.

New York is also one of the only states that will tax marijuana based on the concentration of THC, a psychoactive compound found in many cannabis products, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Most states currently tax marijuana based on weight, according to the Urban Institute.

“What federal legalization means is that there will be another tax on top of a product right now,” said Charles Messina, a cannabis partner at Genova Burns, a law firm that specializes in cannabis law.

The MORE Act, which would decriminalize cannabis on the federal level, passed the House of Representatives in early April. Messina said the bill passing the Senate would contribute to removing the stigma surrounding the industry.

“That would be huge in terms of removing the stigma,” Messina said of the bill passing the Senate as well.

State cannabis regulators have not moved nearly as fast as their counterparts in New Jersey, where retail marijuana sales begin on Thursday. New York legalized cannabis a month after New Jersey, but sales are expected to begin in New York state in the late summer, according to Hochul’s office.

retailer Cannabis Management. The 40% will be funneled into the Community Grants Reinvestment Fund, a state fund that will go to local organizations.

Examples of eligible grant recipients include entities that support job placement and provide substance use disorder treatments, nutritional services, childcare and financial literacy programs in disadvantaged communities under the Marihuana Regulation and Taxation Act. “I’ve never encountered anything in my governmental career that’s been so mishandled,” said Patrick Hogan, a common councilor representing Syracuse’s 2nd district.

Approximately 50% of all municipalities within the state opted out of recreational sales late last year according to the Rockefeller Institute of Government. “We’re not getting any guidance from the state,” Hogan said.

Local reports have shown hundreds gathering at illegal markets in the Syracuse area.

“It is a total mess,” said Hogan. “People are selling marijuana in pop-up places that are like buildings that are sometimes not suited for any kind of venues at all.”

This year’s competition provided another moment for SU’s team to create connections with St. Joseph’s Hospital and OttoTHON – two organizations in central New York that support similar causes, Davis said.

“I could only imagine how this affects not just the person who has a diagnosis, but the surrounding people,” Davis said. “This

The team has taken away a broad understanding of lymphoma, in which Baron also said they have hopefully reached other students and “touched them in a way that makes them be able to find the right sources.”

The university needs SU has made environmental progress to be a better neighbor

By Harrison Vogt columnist

By Our Reader

S

yracuse University has a reputation of setting off loud fireworks for various events without any forewarning to the surrounding community. This can have dire, even deadly consequences. On March 24, SU set off another pyrotechnic event, as reported by WSYR-TV’s article “Did you hear loud booms Thursday night around Syracuse? It was fireworks!”

I live in Fayetteville and the loud booms, heard as far away as Minoa and Camillus, caused our dog to panic and bolt off into Genesee Street where he was fatally struck by a vehicle. Finn was a beloved member of our family for nine short years. On March 29, I notified SU’s community relations office of this news, calling on the university to make changes, including issuing advance notice to the community as well as using much quieter fireworks, as European countries now mandate. I have not received a response.

It wasn’t just our family with complaints. Many central New York residents posted their objections on nextdoor.com. Some responses were: “My pets and I were super frightened. I am disabled and they are rescues. It’s one thing to know ahead it’s coming but we had no idea.”

“That exhibition was way too noisy and long. This was unreasonable torture for PTSD people and many others.”

“I like fireworks, but these sounded more like a war zone.”

A good neighbor takes care not to carry out offensive behavior against other neighbors. Unfortunately, SU seems oblivious to this basic civic tenet. Additionally, refusing to acknowledge its own bad behavior just blemishes its image that much more. We central New York residents would very much welcome SU’s administration ordering a review of the university’s fireworks guidelines, as well as investigating the responsiveness (or lack thereof) of its Office of Community Engagement.

n response to a growing need to reduce its climate and environmental impact, Syracuse University has grown its sustainabilityfocused resources and opportunities. In the dining halls on campus, students can find locally sourced foods, less single-use food packaging and recycling and composting stations. Additionally, SU has increased its dependence on renewable energy sources and strengthened its sustainability department.

Despite sustainability efforts on campus, students are not immune to the causes and effects of climate change and pollution. Students contribute to unsustainable industrial habits, including fast fashion and factory farming, and they need to take action against waste. While SU still has work to do to mitigate its contributions to environmental degradation and climate change, the university has provided students with a plethora of opportunities to take action and learn more about the environment.

In 2009, SU released its Climate Action Plan laying out the

steps and actions to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 and to reduce its environmental impact as a community. As a part of this plan, the school launched a Sustainability in the Curriculum Task Force aimed at expanding the school’s environmentally focused academics.

The plan is also expanding upon sustainability initiatives that students can partake in. At the time of the plan’s creation, the SU’s course catalog offered over 150 classes with an environmental component to students. Today, class titles focused on the environment range from Sustainability Science and Policy to Religion, Spirituality, and Nature. Beyond academics, students have access to sustainability-focused opportunities through extracurriculars.

Extracurricular organizations have developed sustainability initiatives where students can take action on environmental issues. The sustainability management team, which SU created with its climate plan in mind, offers Pete’s Giving Garden which promotes local food systems in collaboration with Hendricks Chapel and recently launched its affiliation with Bee Campus USA by installing beehives on South

Campus. Students can participate in both by navigating SU’s sustainability website, which also features other sustainability resources.

Activities such as Earth Day cleanups and the Student Association’s director of sustainability position are examples of environmentalism at SU. With a student body of over 20,000, these resources can lead to the collective action needed to create substantial change.

Environmental issues at SU will continue if students do not increase their support for sustainability efforts on campus Programs aimed at supporting sustainability efforts exist across campus curricula and in student organizations. Consider registering for environmentally conscious courses and volunteering in these student organizations.

These opportunities can be a great way for students to build a more sustainable society.

New York must repair damage done by marijuana drug charges

By The Daily Orange Editorial Board

O

n March 31, 2021, New York state legalized the use of recreational marijuana. While New York being the 16th state to legalize recreational marijuana created an opportunity to learn from other states’ processes, there are still many ways legalization has fallen short.

We cannot forget that Black people were unfairly imprisoned for lowlevel marijuana charges and are still suffering the consequences. More than 40 years after President Richard Nixon called drug abuse “America’s public enemy number one” and started the ongoing disastrous global campaign created by the U.S. government known as the war on drugs, the damage done to the communities affected has still not been repaired.

Although recreational marijuana is now legal, it is still affecting the lives of those unfairly imprisoned and currently incarcerated, in particular the lives of Black people who were targeted at a disproportionate rate to their white counterparts.

The American Civil Liberties Union reported that from 2001-10 Black individuals were four times more

likely to be arrested for marijuana possession despite white people being just as likely to use marijuana.

New York state is clearly trying to right their wrongs by expunging records and distributing licenses to those convicted of drug crimes, but it isn’t enough. The courts have up to two years to expunge records — it needs to be faster. Additionally, New York state should allocate funding to communities disproportionately affected by marijuana-related arrests and those imprisoned for marijuana should be compensated for their time spent in prison. While money cannot begin to give back the time lost, it is a necessary acknowledgement of the damage done.

To preserve Black and brown communities, it is important to reinvest in these areas and reeducate police to avoid excessive use of force and understand the damage done to these communities by their predecessors. Lawmakers need to be aware of supporting communities of color that have endured unjust and unfair treatment from the justice system.

If rehabilitation is not enacted, then white people are legalizing marijuana while Black and brown people are put behind bars for using it.

Society has stigmatized marijuana users to be criminals and dangerous. These perceptions especially hurt Black and brown communities. Expunging records and issuing licenses is not enough — changing the perception is critical to reshape the narrative around the war on drugs.

But this is only possible if the government and the community come together. The government needs to make the effort to reallocate money, alter laws and reform police forces.

People and communities need to reeducate themselves to rethink stigmatization and stereotyping.

Syracuse University is in a tough position because marijuana use, though legal in New York state, is still illegal federally. Therefore, if SU was to accept the usage of marijuana on campus, it would be breaking the law as an institution that accepts money from the federal government. One solution is to turn its attention to community outreach.

The university, for example, could disperse resources and utilize their law school to help members of the community. The SU College of

Law already has a Criminal Defense Clinic that provides legal counsel to people within Onondaga County charged with misdemeanors or violations, which would be a good model for helping community members facing drug charges.

Although the state is taking a step in the right direction by legalizing marijuana, institutions like New York’s government and SU can and should be doing more to challenge stigmas surrounding marijuana use and support the communities that have been significantly and

negatively impacted by the historic criminality of marijuana.

s the war in Ukraine intensifies, the humanitarian toll increases every day. In response, there has been an influx of support for Ukraine from charities eager to give back.

One local charity chapter has decided to raise money for the cause through its fundraising event: the Oxfam Jam. On Thursday, Funk ‘n Waffles, a popular host of concerts and events in Syracuse, will host the Oxfam Jam, a concert being put on by Oxfam at Syracuse University. The event will take place at 8 p.m. at the downtown diner, with three bands each playing for about an hour.

Doors will open at 7 p.m.

Iona Volynets, an SU sophomore and vice president of Oxfam at SU, said that Oxfam at SU hosts service events and lectures on campus to educate students. Oxfam is a global organization that looks to end worldwide poverty and inequality. “(Oxfam is) dedicated to trying to eradicate and alleviate poverty and inequality across the world,” Volynets said. “It’s a combination of like physically providing people with services like food and water and shelter, but also a lot of advocacy.”

Phil Lockitt, an SU sophomore and organization chair

of Oxfam at SU, said that the money from ticket sales will be collected as donations for Oxfam. The SU chapter will use the money to help ease hunger in Ukraine and to support other charities Oxfam gives to, Lockitt said.

Leah Poland, an SU senior and secretary-treasurer and community service and outreach chair of Oxfam at SU, said that the global charity has a lot of helpful services to help raise funds for their organization.

“Oxfam, as an organization, they have these different events that chapters around the country will do,” Poland said. “Oxfam Jam is one of their branded things that they have, so they have resources to teach you how to hold one of these events yourself.”

For the SU chapter, this year’s Oxfam Jam will be the first since 2019 and the first that all members of the executive board will be going to, Poland said.

Three bands from SU will be performing at the show: Liv For Now, Studio89 and Fazoogie. This will be Fazoogie’s first public performance, but band member and SU sophomore Dylan Fox said that when the opportunity was presented to him and his friends, they couldn’t turn it down.

“Leah told me about the opportunity. And once I told my roommates about it, we were like, ‘Well, why don’t we just put something together?’” said Fox, who is on vocals see

Jackson Ensley has always considered himself an entrepreneur.

From creating a clothing brand and Instagram account where his classmates could buy secondhand clothing to programming different startup apps in high school, Ensley said he came to Syracuse University with the plan to start his own business.

Ensley is a senior marketing management major who is the founder and CEO of Popcycle, an event management company founded in 2019 that helps local and student-owned brands sell merchandise through pop-up shops at SU. Popcycle began when Ensley approached Ben Goldsmith, a 2021 SU graduate, who had an idea to create a store in Marshall Square Mall that would continuously cycle through student-owned clothing brands multiple times a year. Ensley said he has always been interested in fashion and was immediately drawn to Goldsmith’s idea.

“At the end of our conversation I was like, ‘Dude, let me work with you,’” Ensley said. “‘This is a super rad idea and I love everything you’re doing.’”

Goldsmith agreed to collaborate with Ensley and from there, Popcycle was born.

The two realized early on that having a permanent storefront wasn’t going to be feasible for a number of reasons. Ensley pitched the idea to do pop-up shops around campus instead, and in 2019, Ensley and Goldsmith held their first Popcycle event in Bird Library.

Ensley spoke about how excited he remembers feeling before the first event because he had no expectations. He connected with seven student-run brands that he previously knew and wanted to support.

“I love working with student brands, I know the excitement they’re feeling because I was once on the path to create my own clothing brand,” Ensley said.

Ensley’s excitement quickly turned into stress once the first event was over. Popcycle received positive feedback from student brands, people who shopped at the event and publications on campus.

Instead of enjoying the compliments, Ensley’s mind was focused on how he would put together a second event.

“I didn’t want to be a one-hit wonder. I needed to prove to myself that the first one wasn’t a fluke,” Ensley said.

The second event was an even bigger success than the first one, Ensley said, and this was an “aha” moment for him and his entrepreneurial experience.

Recipes for 4/20: 3 things you can bake if you're baked

By Louis Platt

food columnist

We all know what follows the initial jokes, laughter and tiredness when getting high: hunger. As someone who thrives on routine, especially when it comes to scheduling meals, I don’t slack on preparing snacks and meals for when my friends and I get high.

So when you’re getting baked, you should budget some prep time to satisfy your inevitable munchie cravings. While Marshall Street restaurants and Gopuff offer snacks and meals prepared for you, making your munchie meals will save you delivery costs and give you and your friends activities to conquer while high.

Quesadillas

Quesadillas are a quintessential meal for my friends and me when we’re baked. This is a make-it-what-you-want type of meal. If all you have on hand are prepared tortillas and shredded cheese, you have a quesadilla in a matter of minutes. But my friends and I don’t shy away from a cooking challenge when we’re high. I like to take leftover chicken and shred it, slice up some jalapeños, dice a tomato and sprinkle on shredded cheese. Once the tortillas are slightly golden brown after cooking them in a pan, have hardened on the outside, and the cheese has melted all the way through, they are perfect to cut into quarters and enjoy

with salsa and sour cream.

Edible cookie dough

Before packing a bowl, prepare this edible cookie dough recipe that will last up to three months in the freezer. This recipe is a bit more hands-on and will taste so much better chilled, so it’s worth budgeting about 10 minutes before smoking or while your marijuana-infused edibles are kicking in to mix a batch of this cookie dough up. While this recipe calls for chocolate chips, you can substitute them for your other favorite candies, like Reese’s Pieces or chopped up Snickers, or spices like cinnamon.

Frozen pizza

During the pandemic, I learned frozen pizzas are essential foods to always have stocked in your fridge whether you’re a college student or a full-time working adult. A single pizza can act as a meal if you’re on your own or a snack for a small crowd. My frozen pizza affinity rests with Amy’s Kitchen, but Tops Friendly Markets sells so many brands that offer various toppings, sizes and gluten-free options. Whether I’m high or not, I like to start with a cheese frozen pizza and add my own toppings, like sliced cherry tomatoes, jalapeños and extra cheese. While I don’t always add meat to frozen pizzas, pepperoni, shredded chicken and sausage are great

options to bolster your pie. Don’t forget to set a timer while your pizza is in the oven, and make sure to lay it on the oven grates to get a

crispy bottom crust.

These practical tips will help you hide your high on 4/20

As The Daily Orange guides readers on everything about 4/20, I wanted to join the fun and contribute some thoughts of my own.

relief for the band. “And so we did.”

Fazoogie describes themselves as a band that is attempting to revive the sounds of the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. As of right now, all of their music is classic covers that “everybody loves,” Fox said.

Along with Fox, four other members of the band will be performing, including his roommates Jared Rowland, who plays bass,

Ensley discovered Ellis’ brand, Love Adore’s Versions of Everyone (LAVE) on Instagram and messaged her asking if she would participate. Ellis said she felt honored that Ensley took a chance on her when her brand didn’t have much recognition at the time.

“I was in awe at how nice and organized Jackson was, he let me know what he needed from me and when I needed to set up,” Ellis said. “Seeing my stuff on the rack was incredible, I was very grateful to be included.”

After the second event, Popcycle went through many changes. All of SU was sent home due to the pandemic and Goldsmith graduated from SU the following year in 2021.

He decided to pass along the CEO role solely to Ensley after graduating.

Popcycle took a brief hiatus during this time. Ensley put together an online platform

know what 4/20 is. I’m in tune with what all the cool people are up to these days. I hope my mom is OK with reading about my thoughts on this stuff, especially because she didn’t sign any permission slips. But oh well, I’m going to have to be a rebel at some point.

Anyway, 4/20 has become a day celebrated by many. It’s one of the few days where being high in public is accepted. But, there are still some ways that you can try to hide it without people knowing that you are on the weed. So here are some tips and tricks.

First, the obvious: sunglasses. The aller-

gy excuse can only go so far. And plus, you can look super mysterious, like one of those professional poker players who wears sunglasses at the table. Maybe you can just walk around with a deck of cards so people think you’re a pro.

Another problem that can come out of being high in public is laughing and giggling at absolutely nothing. So, I have a solution to this. Have headphones in and only listen to sad music. At least you won’t be giggling if you’re sobbing to Olivia Rodrigo in the back of Chipotle.

And lastly, being paranoid could also be a problem when high in public. So, the only way around that is to say hi and shake hands with every single person you come across.

That way, no one can hurt you if everyone is your friend.

Basically, you should be wearing sunglasses and crying to sad music, but also becoming best friends with everyone you see. That doesn’t sound too hard. If you do those things you should be fine. And if it works, please give me credit; I am dying for attention and praise.

and Jesse Herman, who plays lead guitar. The other two members of their band are Grady Collingbourne, who plays drums, and Julian Weinstock, who is on piano.

Fazoogie will be playing the show for free, showing their interest in both giving back to the community and getting themselves some recognition, Fox said.

“I think it says something about us that the first show we’re doing, we’re not making any money from this,” Fox said. “It’s not for the

money, right? It’s to bring people together.”

Tickets for the event will be sold for $3 at the doors of Funk ’n Waffles. Rowland said that along with aiding Oxfam, playing at Funk ’n Waffles is also an honor.

“It’s a crazy place to start because when I started playing here last semester, you know, I was playing in … house shows, and playing at Funk ‘n Waffles was the grand spectacle,” Rowland said. “It’s just crazy to right off the bat be playing at Funk ‘n Waffles. You’re at a

venue that all the bands want to play, and I think that’s a cool start.”

While their music will be going to help a significant cause, Fox and the rest of Fazoogie are just looking forward to playing their music for the crowd.

“We’re doing it to bring people together, to get people to listen to good music and support a good cause,” Fox said.

for students to sell their clothes, but he said nothing compared to having student designers and shoppers come together in one space.

“I honestly didn’t think that I was going to be doing Popcycle again because I started to focus on other businesses,” Ensley said.

“But, we got to this year, and I’m like, ‘Screw it, I want to do another pop-up.’ So we did the third one.”

Ensley shared that the third pop-up event was very much thrown together. It was the first in-person pop-up since the start of the pandemic, and Ensley decided it would be a good idea to donate all the money raised to a charity.

He reached out to Callisto to collaborate and has partnered with the organization ever since. Ensley will again partner with Callisto at Popcycle’s next event on April 28 and has been helping their team with marketing campaigns for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Although Ensley has the past three Popcycle events under his belt, he said he still feels incredibly nervous going into the upcoming one. In the past, Ensley has gotten help from

Goldsmith or other friends who have volunteered. This is the first time he will be putting an event together all on his own.

“The days have definitely seemed shorter because I have so much to do,” Ensley said.

“It’s definitely taken a little toll on me emotionally, but I’m ready for it.”

Next week’s event will take place in Bird Library. There will be 18 student-run and local brands including VintageU, Ecodessa, Sweats by Sofie and Izy Collective as well as a Parade table.

Some proceeds from the event will go to Callisto, which Ensley said he is very excited about.

“Pairing with Callisto has been the most rewarding aspect of Popcycle for me. Being able to say that we raised a couple thousand dollars for charity always makes me feel good,” Ensley said.

Lauren Levin, a senior entrepreneurship and management double major, will be selling items from her brand VintageU at the upcoming Popcycle event.

This will be Levin’s third Popcycle since she started working with them in 2019. Levin

said she appreciates the opportunity to sell her clothes in person because her brand normally functions online.

“Reaching people in a new way and giving them a new shopping experience is something that I’ve had trouble doing just me as an individual on my own,” Levin said. “I was able to introduce pieces from schools other than SU because of the exposure.”

As a senior, Ensley doesn’t know if this will be his last Popcycle event. He is currently applying for different jobs but is considering doing a fifth year at SU where he would continue putting on events.

Regardless of where Ensley ends up next year, he said he is proud of where Popcycle has ended up since the original idea of owning a store in Marshall Square Mall.

“I definitely imagined Popcycle being very different in the beginning,” Ensley said. “But, 19-year-old Jackson would look at me now and think that what I’ve done is great.”

hawryschuk Brown if she planned on attending the UAlbany game. Brown said she wasn’t sure and suggested she could just watch it on television since she coaches a team in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and would have to drive three hours home for a 6 a.m. practice after the game. Hawryschuk responded by subtly mentioning that she was very close to the record. Brown, surprised, never had a clue of how close she was.

It was the first time Brown recalled Hawryschuk asking her if she was coming to a game. Jokingly, Brown said that if she showed up, Hawryschuk had to score.

When asked after the Pitt game about recording 300 points, Hawryschuk acknowledged it, but emphasized that her only goal is to win a national championship for Syracuse.

The reseating will consist of a transition from bench seating to individual/fixed seating, which is designed to improve comfort from page 12

JMA Wireless hasn’t yet responded to a request for comment.

The process of renaming the stadium is a part of SU’s plan to “enhance the stadium experience,” building on the recently completed $118 million transformation of the venue.

The university plans to add a complete reseating of the venue and a publicly-accessible event facility.

Construction on the stadium will begin later this spring, and should be partially complete as early as this September. Syracuse men’s lacrosse head coach Gary Gait said that the name change is “fine,” but that the upgrades and the modernization of the facility will be key for all Syracuse athletic teams.

“It’s still the same facility, just a name,” Gait said. “The remodel is very important to our athletic program.”

Syracuse first hinted at a potential name change in 2019 when it stopped referring to the stadium as the Carrier Dome, instead referfrom page 10

How Syracuse beats Boston College:

Against UNC, as Syracuse was still adjusting to the loss of Emma Tyrrell, Natalie Smith emerged as a potential replacement in the midfield. But it wasn’t until the Cornell and Louisville games that Payton Rowley and Jenny Markey proved they can also play an impactful role.

To beat Boston College, all three players will once again need to step up to take pres-

april 21, 2022

In the 2021 National Championship game, the Orange fell to Boston College while Hawryschuk was sidelined with an ACL tear.

Last fall, as Hawryschuk was still recovering from the injury, fellow attack Samantha McKenna said she noticed Hawryschuk late after practice with a bucket of balls, just to shoot.

“She’s always the first to show up and last to leave,” McKenna said. “She’s always putting in the extra work. You can tell she’s just a master of her craft.”

Hawryschuk’s first career goal came against Boston College in 2017. Similar to her goals this season, she started her dodge from behind the right side of the goal, wrapping around the crease. She was tightly defended as she approached the center of the crease, and she shot low through goalkeeper Zoe Ochoa’s legs while falling to the ground.

Treanor — then a Boston College assistant — and several Syracuse players said their favorite goal of Hawryschuk’s was in

the 2019 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament semifinals against the Eagles.

and accessibility for fans with disabilities, the release said. Its new publicly accessible event facility will fill the space between the stadium and the Barnes Center at The Arch, which will be an expanded event and gathering space to improve fan experience. The upgraded digital infrastructure will implement the most modern connectivity offerings for fans and other stadium users, according to the release.

Additionally, the next phase of the sta-

dium’s transformation will also be geared towards cultivating a “vibrant, prosperous and economically thriving community.”

This includes a local apprenticeship program that partners with trade unions to provide career skills in trade occupations. It will also allow cost-free use to law enforcement, firefighters and disaster response training conducted by New York state or any local agency for 10 years.

“Syracuse University and the Dome are

central to the economic, cultural and social well-being of Central New York,” Syracuse Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation Mike Haynie said in the release.

“Combined with the University’s $118 million transformation, the Dome will be poised to be the go-to destination for athletic, entertainment, academic and other community events and activities.”

ring to it as the “Dome,” “Stadium” or “Loudhouse” in the preseason football media guide.

Wildhack said in 2019 there was “no rhyme or reason” for a change, and the department didn’t reach out to Carrier about a change.

“I’ve been coming to games forever, I’ve always referred to it as the Dome,” Wildhack said. “The name Carrier is on the outside of the building. There’s no intent.”

JMA Wireless was founded in 2012 by John Mezzalingua, who was previously the CEO of PPC, a manufacturer of technology products to the cable TV industry. JMA created the first fully virtualized RAN for carrier and private networks as well as the U.S.’ first indoor 5G millimeter wave radio, according to its website.

In 2019, the company announced its biggest project, which involved housing the indoor 5G millimeter wave radio at a downtown Syracuse building. The campus, which would “span a city block and support a multitude of consumer- and business-facing demos” replaced the prior Coyne Textiles facility. According to JMA’s release, the investment cost $25 million dollars and would open at least 100 new jobs in manu-

facturing, testing and production support.

“We’re continuing investment in New York to set the pace for U.S.-driven 5G innovation, something we’ve been told too often must come from international providers,” Mezzalingua said in the release.

The expansion of JMA Wireless and Bankers Healthcare Group — a medical financing and loan company based in Syracuse — at the time were part of a larger revitalization effort in Syracuse and central New York, Mayor Ben Walsh told The Daily Orange in 2020. The JMA Wireless expansion aligns with the Syracuse Surge initiative, an initiative aimed to improve the city’s economy through technological advancements, Walsh said.

“To have a company like JMA invest in a facility on the Southside of Syracuse, where our strategy is focused, we couldn’t have written a better script,” Walsh said.

JMA Wireless has its global headquarters located in Liverpool, New York, with technology centers domestically in Chicago, Boulder, Dallas, Austin and Richmond. Abroad, the company also has centers in Dublin, Ireland, and Bologna, Italy.

One of the company’s latest projects has been with the Milwaukee Bucks’ arena, Fiserv Forum, which opened in 2018. JMA Wireless helped provide the “best mobile communications” with a distributed antenna system for the stadium.

The changes in the Dome will also include an upgraded digital infrastructure, SU Athletics announced. Ken Garno, who was the project manager for the Dome’s electrical work when it was first built, said to The D.O. that the main reason behind the name change was “just about money.”

“At that time, they needed to raise $25 million, Carrier gave them $3 million for the name and they were happy to sell,” Garno said.

But Garno joked that a potential JMA Wireless Dome is “a lot of words,” and even though SU has been trying to get out of the deal with Carrier for years, the change won’t be significant at a local level.

“People are still going to call it the Dome, local people are still going to call it the Carrier Dome,” Garno said.

SU will need to limit its defensive mistakes, which it struggled to do in the first contest, and make Virginia work for its goals.

eighth. This game could potentially come down to who makes fewer mistakes and takes better care of the ball, and Virginia has a slight edge in that category.

Moore is hardly a secondary scoring option, either, but he’s tied for third on the team in total points (31) compared to past seasons. He was second in 2021, behind only Shellenberger, and led the team in 2020 and 2019.

The attack suffered an injury in UVA’s loss to Richmond and missed the following game, but he returned against Duke. He didn’t play once more in Virginia’s blowout over Quinnipiac. If he does play, he should pose a threat to SU’s defense.

Stat to know: 28.4% turnover rate

Virginia is among the best teams in the nation in taking care of the ball, ranking fourth in turnover rate, according to Lacrosse Reference. Syracuse, on the other hand, ranks sure off of Meaghan Tyrrell and Hawryschuk to produce offensively. The Orange also can’t afford a slow start, which has been the case against its recent opponents. It’s unlikely Syracuse will be able to pull off a 12-goal third quarter like it had against Louisville to salvage a win.

Player to watch: Charlotte North, attack, No. 8

The game’s outcome will rely on whether Syracuse can handle North, the reigning Tewaaraton Award winner. As impressive as Meaghan Tyrrell has been for Syracuse this season, it’s arguable that North has been even more

She is a huge reason why this place is called AttackerU. She’s certainly left a legacy here.

SU goalie Asa Goldstock chucked the ball deep down the field. It hit the ground, but no one could get ahold of the ground ball as Hawryschuk, in field hockey style, used the scoop of her stick to guide it inside the 8-meter before diving and swinging with her right hand for a low-rolling shot.

Player to watch: Matt Moore, attack, No. 5

Syracuse has struggled against secondary scoring options this season, at times locking down the top threat but allowing others — like Jake Taylor of Notre Dame, John Piatelli of Cornell and Nicky Solomon of North Carolina, among others — to run loose against the defense. impressive for the Eagles.

The fifth-year senior was a problem for the Orange in the championship game last season with her six goals, and she currently has 65 goals on the season, which is the fourthmost in the nation and the most in the ACC. North is also a threat on the draw, and even though responsibilities are split three ways between her, Hollie Schleicher and Courtney Taylor, she has earned 98 draw controls, which ranks 16th-best in the country.

Stat to know: 17.6 goals per game

Boston College ranks fourth in the NCA A

“That was a cool one,” Hawryschuk said.

Brown recalled one of the final games Hawryschuk played for her on the Lady Roc travel team. With five seconds remaining, Hawryschuk lined up from the 8-meter and ripped an attempt into the back of the net. And when she was 13 years old at a tournament at UMass, Hawryschuk scored in behind-the-back fashion.

Recently, Brown and Hawryschuk planned to practice together, but Brown realized while driving that she had forgotten to bring a stick. Hawryschuk brought one of her old ones and gifted it to Brown.

It now lies in Brown’s car, sometimes making an appearance when Brown warms up her goalkeepers. Brown joked that it can always score goals, comparing it to a wizard’s magic wand.

“To be goal scorers, I don’t think I could teach that,” Brown said.“I think she just has it.” cabambin@syr.edu @ColeBambini

The Eagles take 34.47 shots per game, the 10th-most in the nation, and score about half of them per game. Only about 37% of their goals have been assisted on, so recognizing isolation situations is a key part of the Eagles’ offensive strategy. rferna04@syr.edu @roshanf_16

Syracuse’s midweek doubleheader against Colgate canceled

By Matt Hassan staff writer

Syracuse’s midweek doubleheader against Colgate on Wednesday was called off because of bad weather conditions. The teams were supposed to play at 2:30 p.m. and

4:30 p.m. in Hamilton, New York, and the games will not be rescheduled.

The Orange were set to face a 17-17 Raiders team that’s ranked third in the Patriot League after Syracuse was swept by Louisville last weekend. Syracuse managed just 12 hits across its three-game series with the Cardi-

nals, scoring just three times. The Orange haven’t won an ACC game since April 2, which came in a two-game sweep over Pittsburgh.

Syracuse has the second-worst record in the Atlantic Coast Conference and sits just one game ahead of Pittsburgh at 3-13. The Orange are a game behind NC State and Boston Col-

lege, who are tied for 10th place. Syracuse is 20-18 overall.

The Orange will take the field again when they host No. 11 Duke in a three-game series this weekend, with the first game taking place on Friday at 3 p.m. mahassan@syr.edu

Opponent preview: Everything to know about No. 6 Virginia

By Roshan Fernandez senior staff writer

Syracuse’s loss to then-No. 15 North Carolina last Saturday means the Orange will miss the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2007 and finish the season with a losing record.

SU’s second-to-last game of the year will come when it hosts No. 6 Virginia at home in a rematch of February’s contest. In Charlottesville, the Orange lost 20-11 against the then-No. 2 Cavaliers, who jumped out to an early 8-1 lead and then used a 7-0 secondhalf run to put away the visitors.

Here’s what you need to know about No. 6 UVA (9-3, 4-1 Atlantic Coast) before Saturday’s game:

All-time series

Syracuse leads the all-time series 20-19.

Last time they played

Syracuse played Virginia in Charlottesville earlier this season and suffered a 20-11 defeat. The Cavaliers jumped out to an 8-1 lead by the end of the first quarter. Syracuse mounted a partial comeback to make it a three-goal game a few minutes into the third quarter, but the then-No. 2 Cavaliers used a 7-0 run to seal the victory.

Syracuse struggled to deal with the ride, going 13-of-18 in clears, which is still SU’s worst clearing percentage of the season. That, combined with defensive errors, led to a nine-goal game by the start of the fourth quarter. Syracuse has suffered eight losses this year, but only the Virginia and Notre Dame ones weren’t close games at the start of the fourth quarter.

The Cavaliers report

The ACC doesn’t have an automatic qualifier bid for the NCAA Tournament since there are only five teams in the NCAA, but Virginia

is a lock for the postseason. Lacrosse Reference’s bracketology gives the Cavaliers a 97.6% chance of making the tournament, and they currently sit atop the conference standings.

Eight teams get seeded in the tournament format, and the other eight are unseeded — Virginia currently ranks seventh, according to Lacrosse Reference, and would be on track for a first-round home game.

It ranks eight in the nation in offensive efficiency (35.9%), per Lacrosse Reference, but slumps to 48th in the country in defensive efficiency (31.5%). The Cavaliers rank No. 6 in Inside Lacrosse’s rankings and have lost just three games this season.

The first came in a shocking 11-goal defeat against No. 1 Maryland, back when Virginia ranked No. 2. The Cavaliers have also lost by four goals to Richmond and by nine goals to Duke. UVA was expected to win the latter two of those contests but

lost by surprising margins in both.

How Syracuse beats Virginia

Syracuse has regularly created offensive opportunities, but it’s had a number of shooting slumps recently. It had 15 straight shots without a goal toward the beginning of the North Carolina game and took 52 shots against UAlbany despite scoring just 12 goals.

Virginia’s defense should be porous enough for Syracuse’s Brendan Curry, Tucker Dordevic and others to get through, but it’ll need to be able to keep up with Virginia’s offense. The unit averages 15.08 goals per game. Its shooting percentage, 31.9%, ranks 13th in the nation, compared to Syracuse’s 28.2%, which is 41st in the nation.

Opponent preview: What to know about No. 3 Boston College

By Adam McCaffery staff writer

After falling to top-ranked North Carolina on April 9, Syracuse bounced back with three straight wins, all against unranked opponents.

The Orange dominated Cornell 20-9 on the road last Tuesday, as Emily Hawryschuk set a personal best with 11 points, recording seven goals and four assists to lead Syracuse to a bounce-back win. Against Louisville, the Orange started off slow and relied on Meaghan Tyrrell’s five goals to end the first half with a one-goal lead at halftime. But the Orange exploded in the third quarter, scoring 12 goals to cruise to a 23-13 win for their sixth conference win.

In its most recent victory against UAlbany, Hawryschuk set another record. She

scored four goals en route to breaking Kayla Treanor’s record of 260 goals to become Syracuse’s all-time career goal scoring leader as Syracuse went on to win 18-11.

Here’s what you need to know about Syracuse (13-3, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) as they face Boston College (13-2, 5-2 ACC) in a championship rematch:

All-time series:

Syracuse leads, 18-7.

Last time they played:

The teams last met in the 2021 NCAA Championship game. Treanor was an assistant for Boston College at the time, and the Eagles prevailed 16-10.

In the first half, BC’s Charlotte North

opened up the scoring with an unassisted goal in the third minute of the game, but Sam Swart quickly responded with a goal of her own. The game went back and forth, and North scored two more goals in the opening half, but a late goal from Emma Ward cut the lead to 9-8 at halftime.

Although the game was close, Emma Tyrrell earned two yellow cards in the first half, resulting in the Orange playing a player down the rest of the game. And the fatigue showed in the second half when Boston College opened the second half with three straight goals in the first five minutes. Syracuse didn’t score until 13 minutes into the second half and could never mount a true comeback.

The Eagles report:

Boston College has proven it could make

another run to the National Championship game. The Eagles have doubled their opponents’ goal total, scoring 264 goals having only allowed 136.

Boston College also has numerous offensive threats, with five players having scored over 25 goals this season. The Orange will be familiar with North, who scored six goals in last year’s national title game and leads the Eagles with 65 goals on the season. Defensively, the Eagles are 38th in the nation in caused turnovers per game and rank 11th in draw controls won per game.

While the Eagles will be one of the toughest opponents Syracuse has played this season, they have proven to be vulnerable at times, losing to both then-No. 2 UNC see boston

Beat writers split on Syracuse’s matchup against No. 6 Virginia

By The Daily Orange Sports Staff

After its one-goal loss against then-No. 4 Cornell, Syracuse suffered a three-game losing streak for the second time this season.

Last Saturday, the Orange were unable to turn around their previous struggles, falling on a last-second goal by UNC’s Chris Gray.

Now, SU will finish under .500 for the first time since 2007, losing its postseason hopes in the process. It will return to the Carrier Dome to play against No. 6 Virginia, which defeated the Orange in Charlottesville, Virginia, 20-11 earlier this season, and is coming off a 21-9 win over Quinnipiac.

Here’s what our beat writers predict when Syracuse (4-8, 1-3 Atlantic Coast) faces Virginia (9-3, 4-1):

Alex Cirino (6-6)

Nothing to lose Syracuse 17, Virginia 14 Syracuse’s NCAA Tournament hopes are now nonexistent after its one-goal loss to the Tar

Heels, and the Orange have just two games left this season, both at home against teams that blew them out earlier this season. The first of those is No. 6 Virginia, which handed Syracuse a nine-goal loss in Charlottesville in late February. The Cavaliers have dropped four spots since then, having lost two of their last four games.

While SU has dropped its last four games, two of them have been within a goal, which included an overtime loss to then-No. 4 Cornell. And with the Orange back at home, they can surely deliver another offensive outpour against a Virginia side they upset twice a season ago, including a 20-10 victory at the Dome. With nothing on the line and only the 2023 season to now look forward to, expect Syracuse to take it to the Cavaliers and snap its longest losing streak in 16 years.

had problems finishing out close games.

They’ve shown they’re capable of keeping up with some of the nation’s best teams, like the overtime loss to Cornell. Syracuse lost in the last 15 seconds to No. 15 North Carolina, too.

I think SU is due for a big win. It had a very slow start in the first game against UVA, trailing 8-1 at the end of the first quarter. The Orange fought back but ultimately gave up another run during the third quarter that lost them the game. Syracuse, for some reason, looks like an entirely different team when it plays at home, especially as of late. Both Cornell and UNC made clutch game-winning plays in the last two games, but this time, I think it’ll be Syracuse’s Tucker Dordevic or Brendan Curry who has the last word.

Roshan Fernandez (7-5)

Anish Vasudevan (7-5)

Syracuse is due Syracuse 15, Virginia 14 The Orange, for the most part, have just

Past the end Virginia 17, Syracuse 11 Last season, Syracuse upset Virginia twice,

the highlight of an otherwise mediocre year that ended with the team only one game over .500 at the end of the season. Roster changes, John Desko’s retirement and Gary Gait’s hire were supposed to create a revitalized team in 2022, but injuries have prevented SU from reaching its full potential.

At the beginning of the season, the Orange weren’t able to bring their momentum from 2021 into their first matchup against the Cavaliers, losing 20-11. They only scored three goals in the first and fourth periods combined, with Dordevic finding the back of the net just once. Now, SU has already secured a sub-.500 finish to the year, with a four-game losing streak for the first time this season. Even if Dordevic gets going, or Bobby Gavin makes some key saves, the magic from Syracuse’s upset over Duke has completely vanished. And on Saturday, the result from earlier this season will most likely be the same again. sports@dailyorange.com @DOSports

RECORD BREAKER

Syracuse confirms Dome changes

Emily Hawryschuk became Syracuse’s all-time leading scorer on Tuesday with 261 career goals

mily Hawryschuk held the ball just to the left of the goal and began approaching two UAlbany defenders. She faked a pass to Shira Parower and dodged toward the center of the crease, shooting a low shot into the bottom left corner to extend SU’s lead to 11-1.

It marked Hawryschuk’s 261st career goal, putting her at the top of Syracuse’s all-time scoring list. She surpassed her head coach, Kayla Treanor, whose 260 career goals were the record for nearly six years. Averaging just about three goals per game, Hawryschuk broke the record in 87 games, while Treanor scored all her goals in 94.

“She is a huge reason why this place is called AttackerU,” Treanor said after Tuesday’s game. “She’s certainly left a legacy here.”

But for Hawryschuk, the eventual goal remains the same — winning a national championship. She didn’t even celebrate the record-breaking score, instead joining a routine huddle with her team while the referee completed a stick check. Numerous times when asked about accolades, she’s shifted the focus to her teammates and the players that she watched in middle school and high school. Throughout this year, Treanor hasn’t talked to Hawryschuk about the record, but she joked that she “should.” “(The record) was never anything I would have thought of, but the goal is to win a national championship,” Hawryschuk said postgame on Tuesday.

Hawryschuk led SU in goals each year from 2018-20 and entered this season 52 goals away from the record. Last

year, she suffered an ACL injury in February after just one game, but the NCAA permitted Hawryschuk an additional year of eligibility on top of one granted from the pandemic.

Hawryschuk got off to a slow start this year, only scoring five goals in SU’s first three games. But since then, she’s recorded nine hat tricks.

Over the course of the season, the All-American has achieved numerous personal and program milestones.

Against Cornell, Hawryschuk recorded a career-high 11 points, edging out her previous high of nine set against Northwestern in March. The seven goals against the Big Red also tied her career-high from 2020 against Canisius and put her in second place on the all-time scoring list.

On April 2 against Pittsburgh, Hawryschuk became the fifth player to reach 300 career points in program history, joining Treanor and Katie Rowan Thomson. Still, Hawryschuk sometimes has no idea that she’s hitting these milestones. She learned about jumping from third to second on the scoring list when a reporter asked her about it following the Cornell win.

“She’s never come off a game and told me her stats. Ever,” said Kerrie Brown, Hawryschuk’s former travel coach.

After the Orange’s comeback victory against Duke, Hawryschuk and Brown talked about her footwork on a specific free-position shot. Against the Blue Devils, her attempt had gone too high, but a month later against Cornell, Hawryschuk replicated her foot placement, kept the shot low and scored.

Four days later, following Syracuse’s win over Louisville where Hawryschuk scored another five goals to put her three away from the record, the pair, along with Hawryschuk’s family, went out to dinner. Hawryschuk asked

After 43 years as the Carrier Dome, Syracuse’s on-campus stadium will be renamed, per a release from Syracuse athletics.

Sportico reported on Friday that JMA Wireless will take over the naming rights of the Dome.

Carrier, who in 1979 represented the first naming agreement for a major collegiate sports stadium, has allowed for the stadium to be renamed on May 1, SU’s press release stated.

“With Carrier’s cooperation, we will seek to rename our stadium while we continue our work to transform the experience for our students, faculty, staff, fans and central New York community,” Syracuse director of athletics John Wildhack said in the release.

The process of renaming the stadium will be the next phase of SU’s plan to enhance the stadium experience, building on the recently completed $118 million transformation of the venue. Changes will include a complete reseating of the see dome page 9

What is Syracusebased JMA Wireless?

By Anish Vasudevan asst. sports editor

Syracuse’s Carrier Dome will receive its first-ever name change after 43 years on May 1, with local company JMA Wireless expected to become the venue’s new naming rights holder.

“With Carrier’s cooperation, we will seek to rename our stadium while we continue our work to transform the experience for our students, faculty, staff, fans and central New York community,” Syracuse Director of Athletics John Wildhack said in an SU Athletics release.

JMA Wireless, based in Syracuse, specializes in delivering more secure networks for consumers and businesses to accelerate mobile connectivity, per the company’s website. According to an article by Sportico, the change would likely require at least $3.25 million annually on the open market, citing an outside marketing group’s report.
