Dear readers,

Syracuse heads into the 2016 season without five of its top six scorers from last season. Coming off an NCAA tournament quarterfinal loss to Johns Hopkins, the Orange turns to old and new faces to fill the offensive voids. Fifty-goal-scorer Dylan Donahue strives to orchestrate the offense while staying out of the spotlight. Jordan Evans, donning the symbolic No. 22, hopes to finally meet the expectations that accompany the number. Midfielder Derek DeJoe, whose shot can reach 111 miles per hour, wants to be known for more than just a laser. Also read about women’s players Riley Donahue and Allie Murray, who will be integral on an SU team picked atop the ACC. Enjoy our stories and thank you for reading!
