No. 4/5 Princeton Meets No. 3 Syracuse In Konica Minolta Big City Classic
April 07, 2010 | Men's Lacrosse
Short of the national championship at stake, you can't really ask for more than is being offered by the 2010 Konica Minolta Big City Classic.
For starters, you have the top four teams (or four of the top five, depending on what poll you like) in Division I men's lacrosse, as well as two other teams who average 25 goals per game betwen them.
Throw in the fact that this will be the first day of events in the new Meadowlands Stadium, and you have the potential for a huge turnout.
The games will be played in the new 82,500-seat home for the NFL's Giants and Jets, and the day actually begins at 8 a.m. as Lawrenceville Prep (located about five miles down Route 206 from Princeton) takes on Highland Park of Texas. For trivia purposes, that will be the actual first event in the new stadium.
The day continues at 10 a.m. with Haverford Prep against Hill Academy of Canada; former Princeton associate head coach David Metzbower is a coach with Haverford.
The college tripleheader begins with Hofstra (No. 12 by the media, No. 10 by the coaches and Delaware at 1, followed by a matchup of the last two undefeated teams and the two top-ranked teams in Division I, No. 1 Virginia and No. 2 North Carolina.
Princeton and Syracuse meet at 6:30.
* * *
This will be the 26th meeting between the Tigers and Orange, who have combined to win 16 of the last 22 NCAA championships (10 by Syracuse and six by Princeton).
Syracuse has a 16-9 lead in the series, which featured two meetings in the 1920s, one right after World War II and one in the 1970s before the modern version of the rivalry began with the 1992 NCAA championship game, won by Princeton 10-9 on Andy Moe's goal in the second overtime.
The heyday of the rivalry came between 1996 and 2003, when the teams met 12 times with seven wins by Syracuse. Included in that stretch was a five-year period from 1999-2003 when the teams met twice every year, in the regular season and the NCAA tournament, and especially 2000-02, when the teams played in three straight NCAA finals.
In all, Princeton and Syracuse have played in four NCAA finals (Princeton won in 1992 and 2001; Syracuse won in 2000 and 2002) and in seven NCAA Final Fours (Princeton won in the 1996 and 1998 semifinals; Syracuse won in the 1993 semifinals).
* * *
Princeton and Syracuse meet for the 22nd time since they played for the 1992 NCAA championship. This will be the 13th time in those 22 meetings that both teams are ranked in the Top 5.

Princeton, behind 15 saves from Tyler Fiorito and three goals from both Mark Kovler and Jack McBride, defeated Syracuse 12-8 a year ago in the first Konica Minolta Big City Classic. Princeton won the game despite being outshot 39-31, having 25 ground balls to Syracuse's 40, committing 18 turnovers and winning only 8 of 23 face-offs.
Syracuse would not lose again in 2009 on its way to the NCAA championship.
Princeton is playing its second straight game and third this season in an NFL venue, after defeating Brown 9-7 last week at the New England Lacrosse Classic at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., and defeating Johns Hopkins 11-10 in overtime at the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic on March 6.
Princeton has won four straight games in NFL stadiums.
Syracuse, of course, has won four straight in NFL stadiums when it's counted most, on the past two Memorial Days at Gillette Stadium.
* * *
Chad Wiedmaier has played two games after missing the first six due to fall knee surgery, which revealed greater damage to his meniscus than originally suspected.
Wiedmaier, a second-team All-America and first-team All-Ivy League selection last year as a freshman, started against both Yale and Brown. He played about half of the game in New Haven, and he basically went the whole way last week against Brown.
Wiedmaier held Yale's leading scorer, Matt Gibson, without a point while he was on the field (Gibson did score when Wiedmaier was out). He also forced a turnover against Gibson in a one-on-one situation as time ran out and Gibson tried to get the tying goal.
Last week against Brown, Wiedmaier held All-America Thomas Muldoon to a single goal, which came in an unsettled situation after a face-off win. Wiedmaier also had two more caused turnovers.
His individual performance doesn't tell the whole story of his impact.
Princeton allowed 9.8 goals per game in the six he missed. In the two since he's been back, Princeton has allowed 6.5 goals per game, six against a Yale team averaging 11.3 and seven to a Brown team averaging 11.9.
Without Wiedmaier, goalie Tyler Fiorito had a .455 save percentage; with him, that number is .711. Fiorito made 46 saves in six games without Wiedmaier (7.7 per game); he has made 32 in two games since (16.0 per game). Princeton's last game without Wiedmaier was the worst statistical game of Fiorito's career, a four-save, 10-goals-against performance in the 11-10 win over Penn.
With Wiedmaier's return, John Cunningham has moved back to his natural longstick midfield position. Cunningham had been playing close defense, and he was actually named a mid-season second-team All-America by Inside Lacrosse. Cunningham leads the team in ground balls with 35 (Jack McBride is second with 21), and he scored his second goal of the season in this past weekend's game against Brown.
Princeton has also moved Tyler Moni from the second offensive midfield unit to a shortstick defensive position, where he teams with Peter Smyth.
Of the three close defensemen, longstick midfield and two shortstick defensive midfielders, only Long Elllis and Jeremy Hirsch have started every game in the same spot. Ellis leads the team with 13 caused turnovers.
* * *
When Princeton led Brown by three goals at 9-6 for a 1:07 span late in the fourth quarter Saturday, it marked the only time since the UMBC game on March 13 that Princeton has had a lead of more than two goals. In fact, Princeton lead Brown by two goals for 11 minutes in last Saturday's game, and that marked the first time since the UMBC game that Princeton had a lead of more than one at any point.
Princeton is 7-1. Of those eight games, four have been decided by one goal and a fifth by one goal. Two of the eight games have gone overtime (Princeton defeated Johns Hopkins and Penn in OT, giving Chris Bates the same number of OT wins that he had in 10 years as Drexel's head coach, where he was 2-3 in OT).
Princeton's last four games have been decided by one goal (a 12-11 loss at North Carolina that the Tigers trailed by five on three occassions and then tied), one goal in OT (an 11-10 win over Penn in a game Princeton trailed 7-1 in the third quarter and 9-5 with eight minutes left), one goal (a 7-6 win over Yale in a game that neither team ever led by more than one) and by two goals (last week against Brown; the game was tied before Chris McBride put Princeton up for good with 5:17 to play).
* * *
Princeton is the lone team undefeated in the Ivy League with a 3-0 record. The Tigers, who have won those three games by a total of four goals, play home with Dartmouth, at Harvard and home with Cornell to end the league season.
Dartmouth, Brown, Harvard and Cornell all have one league loss. Yale has two; Penn has three.
The Ivy League champion will be the team that wins the regular-season round-robin. The top four teams will advance to the first Ivy League tournament (for men and women), at the site of the league champion, and the winner of the tournament will receive the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
The seven Ivy League men's teams are a combined 27-13 in non-league games.
* * *
Mike Chanenchuk and Jeff Froccaro, both of whom are two-time Ivy League Rookies of the Week, essentially have replaced the graduated Mark Kovler (first-team All-America) and Rich Sgalardi (honorable mention All-America) as Princeton's top two scoring threats in the midfield. A comparison of this year and last year through eight games (Princeton was 7-1 after eight games in 2009 as well):
Kovler/Sgalardi 2009 - 26 goals, 15 assists, 41 points, 95 shots, .274 shooting %
Chanenchuk/Froccaro 2010 - 25 goals, 6 assists, 31 points, 76 shots, .329 shooting %
In terms of Princeton freshman goal scoring, the record is 25, set in 1999 by B.J. Prager. Princeton has had four other freshmen reach 20 goals - Peter Trombino (24 in 2004), Jesse Hubbard (23 in 1995, when he played middie), Chris Massey (21 in 1995 as well) and Sean Hartofilis (20 in 2000, including five in the NCAA semifinal win over Virginia).
* * *
Through seven games, Princeton has two players who have at least one goal in every game, and they share the same last name.
Jack McBride and Chris McBride each has at least one in every game. Jack McBride has scored at least one goal in 31 of 34 career games.
* * *
Princeton began the season by using Peter Smyth and Jeff Froccaro as its primary face-off men. Bobby Lucas joined the rotation in the third game, and Lucas and Froccaro have taken most of the draws since.
Paul Barnes, who took 299 of Princeton's 352 face-offs a year ago, has taken just four this year, three of which came against Brown last week. Barnes has played in the second midfield this year and scored three goals, including the eighth in Princeton's 9-7 win over Brown.
* * *
Princeton has scored six extra-man goals this season, tied with St. John's, Colgate, Air Force and Providence for the second-lowest total in Division I.
Syracuse has scored nine more extra-man goals than Princeton on 11 for more attempts. Princeton is 6 for 22; Syracuse is 15 for 33.
* * *
Princeton leads the Ivy League with an average of 38.6 shots per game.
Syracuse averages 43.9 shots per game.
Princeton and Syracuse have one common opponent, Johns Hopkins. Princeton defeated the Blue Jays 11-10 in overtime; Syracuse won its game 10-7.
