THE GAME
- Syracuse welcomes longtime rival Johns Hopkins to the Dome on Saturday in a battle of the sport's two most winningest programs.
- The game will be broadcast on ACC Network Extra with Noah Eagle and Adam Unger on the call. Drew Carter and Kyle Fetterly will broadcast the action on TK99/105, Cuse.com and the TuneIn App, while WAER will also carry the game.

HONORING LEGENDS
- Saturday will serve as a special anniversary celebration for the Orange, who will honor the 10-year anniversary of the 2009 NCAA title team, and welcome back the 1969 team for its 50th anniversary.
- The 2009 team captured the program's 11th NCAA title by coming back from three down late in a memorable national championship game finish vs. Cornell.
- The 1969 team became the first Syracuse team in more than a decade to win 10-or-more games, building to the program's first NCAA title 14 years later.

THE JOHNS HOPKINS SERIES
- College lacrosse's two biggest names, combining for 21 NCAA Championships and 1,889 combined wins, making them the winningnest programs ever, meet for a 58th-time.
- Johns Hopkins leads the all-time series 30-26-1, but Syracuse has won six of the last 10.
- While the series has become an annual regular season highlight, 'Cuse and Hopkins is most known for meeting in May. Syracuse has faced the Blue Jays 13 times in the NCAA Tournament, three more times than any other opponent (Princeton, 10). The programs have faced each other eight times on Championship weekend.
- Due to Carrier Dome scheduling conflicts in 2017 with the NCAA women's basketball tournament, Hopkins is making back-to-back trips to Syracuse after the Orange played two-straight at Homewood (2016, 2017). Before this current stretch, the teams swapped sites every year since SU visited Homewood Field twice in a row in both 1998 and 1999.
- The Orange fell to the Blue Jays last season in the Carrier Dome 18-7. Jamie Trimboli led the way for Syracuse with three goals.
- There have been 17 games decided by one goal between Syracuse and Johns Hopkins, including the 2016 and 2017 matchups.

AGAINST THE B1G TEN
- Syracuse enters Saturday's game with a 122-61-2 record all-time against the six current members of the Big Ten.
- 'Cuse has faced JHU (26-30-1), Penn State (46-11-1, Rutgers (41-9), Maryland (6-11), and Ohio State (2-0). The Orange have never faced Michigan.
- SU will play a Big Ten opponent in back-to-back weeks, when Syracuse hosts Rutgers next week.

SOLOMON'S GOING STREAKING
- Senior attackman Nate Solomon enters Saturday's game having registered a point in 21-straight games, dating back to the Colgate game of 2017.
- Solomon's point streak is the second-longest in the ACC, behind Virginia's Michael Kraus' 37-game streak, and ranks tied for 14th nationally.
- He's the first Syracuse player to reach the 20-game mark with a point streak since Dylan Donahue went 55 games from 2013-2016.
- Loyola's Pat Spencer - who has scored a point in all-56 games of his career - is the nation's current active leader.

ORANGE IN BOUNCE-BACK GAMES
- Head coach John Desko has had tremendous success in getting the Orange back on track following a loss.
- 'Cuse is 46-23 in games following a loss during a season under Desko (this record does not include the season opener following season-ending losses).
- Under Desko, 'Cuse has only had 12 "losing streaks" (two or more consecutive losses).

A WIN AGAINST JOHNS HOPKINS WOULD...
- Be the program's 907th victory, second all-time behind Johns Hopkins.
- Improve SU's record to 61-22 since the start of the 2014 season
- Give John Desko his 247th career coaching win, moving him into sole possession of 18th all-time in NCAA Division I victories.
- Make the Orange 27-30-1 all-time against Johns Hopkins
