Episode Description from the Publisher

The road to Charlottesville goes through Hempstead. The Syracuse University men's lacrosse team takes on North Carolina on Saturday with back-to-back Final Fours on the line.  ESPN's Quint Kessenich joins Brent Axe on Syracuse Sports to discuss how the Orange can get it done and take another step towards winning its first national championship since 2009.  Kessenich and Axe talk about the third matchup between Syracuse and North Carolina this season and how the Orange can beat UNC the third time around. The goalie matchup will be key as SU's Jimmy McCool has struggled against UNC this season and the Tar Heels recently made a switch in net. Axe and Kessenich also discuss what role Joey Spallina needs to play for SU to achieve its goal of winning a title and the other NCAA quarterfinal matchups of Penn State-Princeton, Georgetown-Duke and Johns Hopkins-Notre Dame.
