Before I begin, I just want to extend a massive – massive -congratulations to the Syracuse Orange men’s soccer team for winning the NCAA College Cup national championship last night in a heart stopping 7-6 victory, after penalty kicks.

A big congrats to Coach McIntyre, all the amazing players, and the staff, on a phenomenal accomplishment, the first in Syracuse history.

Go Orange!
