In Georgia Woolley's first three years playing college basketball, star guard Dyaisha Fair was by her side. But after last season ended and Fair graduated, Woolley was anointed as the next leader for Syracuse. Read my feature on Woolley for @DOsports: dailyorange.com/2024/10/georgi…
“He’s just a workhorse, man.” Maryland head coach John Tillman developed as a player and coach in central New York. Now, he looks to stay undefeated with the No. 2 seed Terrapins against No. 6 seed Syracuse in the Final Four, from @nalumkal. dailyorange.com/2025/05/mens-l…

More exceptional national championship coverage from @DOsports. Cooper does a magisterial job capturing, contextualizing and conjuring what Cornell’s national title means. Give it a read. You won’t regret it.
From Richie Moran to Connor Buczek, to Eamon McEneaney to CJ Kirst, #Cornell’s 2025 NCAA title team acts as the connector between the program’s championship eras. On the end of a 48-year drought, for @DOsports: dailyorange.com/2025/05/mens-l…
Check out Zak's tremendous story on Cornell's national championship — and CJ Kirst cementing his legacy as one of the all-time greats. Reminds me of the halcyon days of SI stories perfectly summing up a season or title. Seriously. It's that good.
College lacrosse has a new king. His name is CJ Kirst. He capped a legendary career with an elusive national title, scoring six goals to power Cornell past Maryland 13-10. It was a fitting ending, with Kirst finishing on top, right where he belongs. dailyorange.com/2025/05/mens-l…
College lacrosse runs through central New York once again. Cornell beats Maryland for its fourth-ever NCAA Championship, and first since 1977. A storybook ending on a storybook season.
Final: Cornell 13, Maryland 10 Cornell is back on top of the college lacrosse world after a 48-year drought. CJ Kirst dominated with six goals. One of the best college lacrosse players of all-time puts together an all-time performance, leading his team to victory.
Tillman meets his alma mater, Cornell, in the national championship for the second time in his coaching career. We’ll see if Maryland can down the Big Red again, like it did in 2022.
From pouring drinks in Ithaca to coaching in his 9th NCAA Championship game. One more time, please read @nalumkal's piece on #Maryland head coach John Tillman, whose roots lie in central New York. dailyorange.com/2025/05/mens-l…
This was quite a doozy. I’m not sure it portended today’s lopsided outcome, but it certainly resembled SU being metaphorically stuck in a blender in the form of Maryland and having no way out. That’s what happened today for SU and what happened to Cooper and I in February.
Did @nalumkal and I getting ourselves stuck in SECU Stadium back in February foreshadow what happened today? The world may never know.

“These guys believe in each other and believe they can win any game.” In a back-and-forth affair, Syracuse took down No. 3 seed Princeton 19-18, sealing its first Final Four since 2013 and putting it two wins away from a national title, from @ZakWolf22. dailyorange.com/2025/05/syracu…
“To do it on a field that I pretty much grew up on is crazy.” In his homeland of Long Island, Joey Spallina exploded for eight points to lead Syracuse to a Final Four berth, delivering his signature moment, from @cooper_andrews. dailyorange.com/2025/05/syracu…
