In a game that had a little bit of everything, Notre Dame College held off a determined Syracuse team 33-28 Friday night at the ACRC Bowl Series in Charlotte, NC.
The Empire Conference picks its champion this Sunday with Syracuse at Stony Brook.
The Stony Brook Sea Wolves finished the Empire Conference season 6-0, with Syracuse right behind at 5-1.
The two teams faced off September 26 at Stony Brook, with the Seas Wolves coming away 33-26 winners. This game promises to be just as tight.
It all comes down to next week in the Empire Conference, as Syracuse and Colgate both won, and both are now 4-1, right behind winners and still undefeated Stony Brook.
Syracuse University defeated the US Merchant Marine Academy 42-24 Saturday to move to 3-1 and put the Hammerheads squarely in the hunt in the Empire Rugby Conference.
With Stony Brook chugging along and Colgate emerging as a solid contender, the Hammerheads have cruised silently among the swimmers taking bites out of the competition.
