BALTIMORE, Md. – Orange junior goalie Al Cavalieri was named the NIKE/Inside Lacrosse Player of the Week on Tuesday, May 19 for his performance in SU's NCAA quarterfinal win against Maryland. Cavalieri made a career-best 14 saves in his first collegiate start to propel the Orange into the national semifinals.

Cavalieri stepped in for starter John Galloway, who was out due to illness, and helped hold the Terps scoreless for the first 19 minutes of the game. He later kept Maryland off the board for more than 18 minutes in the third and fourth quarters as a 6-4 Orange lead swelled to 11-4 before Maryland scored again.

Second-seeded Syracuse will face the No. 3 seed Duke at 12 p.m. at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, May 23 in the first NCAA semifinal. The game will be televised live on ESPN2.
