A QUOTE, I HAVE A LITTLE SAYING THAT I’VE HAD WITH ME AND ITS BEEN ON THE
DESK SINCE ALMOST THE BEGINNING.. PERSERVERANCE IS EVERYTHING.>
MY FAVORITE EMPOWERMENT QUOTE IS BY, SHE IS A PROFESSIONALL RUNNER
AND SHE SAYS DO YOURSELF A FAVOR NOW AND SET YOURSELF UP FOR
SUCCESS EVEN IF IT SEEMS SCARY OR BACKWARDS OR THAT VOICE IS
SCREAMING AT YOU NOT TO, DO IT.
I DON’T KNOW IF I HAVE A FAVORITE QUOTE THAT I CAN PULL OFF THE TOP OF

A POPULAR OFF-CAMPUS APPARTMENT BUILDING WAS THE SCENE OF A ROBBERY LAST NIGHT. OUR CALVIN CHRISTOFORO JOINS US LIVE IN STUDIO TO GIVES US ALL THE DETAILS.  
In a campus wide email sent out last night. The Syracuse University department of public safety detailed a robbery at the aspen an off campus apartment building popular for SU students. The email reports a student being approached by A male dressed in all black as they left the parking area around 9:15 last night. the suspect reportedly showed a handgun and demanded money before fleeing on foot. Although there was no injuries reported, the robeery still has some aspen residents shaken up.
I was afraid to go home, heck, I didn’t even go home, I stayed at a friends place, he gave me a pair of shorts, I was in my suit, changed out of my suit, he gave me a pair of shorts and I slpet on his couch.
Now giving the location of the of the building, the Syracuse police department now leads the investigation. So if you have any information about anything to do with the robbery you are urged to call spd at 315-4-4-2-5-2-2-2 AND IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW ARE AFFECT AT ALL BY THE INCEDENT THERE ARE CAMPUS RESCOURCES AVAIABLE TO HELP.

THE NUMBER OF COVID CASES ON CAMPUS ARE CONTINUING TO FLUCTUATE…
HOVERING AROUND 100 TOTAL CASES.
OUR MARCUS VEAL IS LIVE IN STUDIO TO BREAKDOWN THE UNIVERSITY COVID-19 DASHBOARD.
THANKS LAUREN AND THOMAS. AFTER A BIT OF AN INCREASE IN CASES LAST
WEEK…WE’RE STARTING TO SEE THAT NUMBER GO DOWN WITHIN THE SU COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY 98 ACTIVE CASES ON CAMPUS.
THAT’S 40 FEWER CASES THAN THE LAST UPDATE ON FRIDAY.
ACCORDING TO THAT MOST RECENT UPDATE…THERE ARE 35 NEW STUDENT CASES AND JUST ONE NEW EMPLOYEE CASE.
THE SURVEILLANCE POSITIVITY RATE SITS AT 0.9 PERCENT. WE’LL BE GETTING A NEW UPDATE ON THAT PERCENTAGE LATER TODAY.
IF YOU’D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS YOURSELF…CHECK OUT THE SU COVID-19 DASHBOARD ONLINE.
WITH SPRING BREAK NEXT WEEK…WE’LL PROBABLY GET A FEW MORE UPDATES BEFORE EVERYONE HEADS OUT.
AS WE APPROACH WEEK TWO OF RUSSIA’S ATTACK ON UKRAINE, PRESIDENT
BIDEN’S SANCTIONS HAVE RAISED A FINANCIAL WAR… THE PRESIDENT HAS COMPLETELY DISLODGED RUSSIA’S BANKING SYSTEM.
AND U-S OFFICIALS ARE NOW ASKING FOR A BAN ON RUSSIAN OIL FROM BOTH EUROPE AND THE U-S, AS THEY SEE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE RUSSIA PULL BACK.
THE E-U RELIES MORE HEAVILY ON RUSSIA FOR ENERGY, FURTHER IMPACTING
THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AND SEDNING ALREADY INCREASING GAS PRICES, SKYROCKETING.
THE IMPACT HAS ALREADY BEEN SEEN HERE IN CENTRAL NEW YORK AS GAS PRICES ARE ABOVE FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON.
AND AS UKRAINIANS CONTINUE TO FLEE THE COUNTRY — BEN WALSH AND RYAN
MCMAHON SAY THAT OUR CITY OF SYRACUSE IS READY AND WILLING TO WELCOME THESE REFUGEES.

STAY WITH US, COMING UP NEXT OUR SPORTS REPORTERS ALLISON TURNER AND KATELYN MCCARTHEY WILL BE GIVING US THE RUNDOWN OF THE SYRACUSE MEN’S BASKETBALL GAME AGAINST MIAMI.
AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM OUR WOMEN’S LACROSSE AND HOCKEY TEAMS.
GOOD MORNING. SENIOR NIGHT. A LARGE COMEBACK TURNS TO A SOLID WIN.
WELCOME BACK TO SPORTS, I’M ALLISON TURNER.
IT WAS A BIG WEEKEND IN CARRIER DOME FILLED WITH SOME HIGHS AND LOWS, LET’S BREAK IT ALL DOWN.
FIRST UP, SYRACUSE MEN’S BASKETBALL VERSUS MIAMI.
IT WAS THE LAST GAME IN THE CARRIER DOME, AND THE TEAM HONORED THEIR 7 SENIORS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS TO START OUT THE AFTERNOON.
THE ORANGE WERE LEFT SCORELESS IN THE FIRST 2 MINUTES, BUT THEN BUDDY
BOEHEIM KNOCKS DOWN A 3-POINTER FROM THE CORNER IN TRUE BUDDY FASHION. AND THERE HE IS AGAIN, TYING THE GAME AT 5 POINTS.
SYRACUSE QUICKLY GAINS A LEAD OVER MIAMI, THEN JOE GIRARD ADDS 3 POINTS FROM BEYOND THE ARC TO INCREASE THE LEAD TO 7.
SYRACUSE IS UP 13 POINTS AT THE SECOND HALF UNTIL BUDDY BOEHEIM IS LEFT OPEN AND SCORES. BUDDY WAS THE LEADING SCORER OF THE NIGHT, WITH 30 POINTS.
THEN BOURAMA SIDIBE WITH THE LAYUP IN HIS FIRST STARTING GAME SINCE NOVEMBER 2020.
CHARLIE MOORE GETS THE LAYUP FOR MIAMI AND DECREASES THE ORANGE’S LEAD TO 5.
THE FINAL MINUTE IS WHERE THE GAME TOTALLY CHANGES – CAMERON
MCGUSTY KNOCKS DOWN A 3-POINTER TO MAKE IT A 1-POSSESSION GAME.
A MISSED FREE THROW WOULD’VE HELPED THE ORANGE, BUT MIAMI CAUGHT IT, THREW IT UP AND WENT INTO THE LEAD.
THE ORANGE TRIED 1 LAST ATTEMPT, BUT JIMMY BOEHEIM MISSES, AND MIAMI TAKES THE CAKE.
HEAD COACH JIM BOEHEIM SAID THE TEAM PLAYED WELL, BUT THEY ULTIMATELY CRACKED AT THE END. We’re just – we’re not good against full-court pressure, not many teams press, but they’re a pretty good pressure team, we handled it well for the whole game really, but the end.

NEXT UP FOR THE ORANGE – THEY HIT THE ROAD FOR THE ACC TOURNAMENT TO PLAY FLORIDA STATE ON WEDNESDAY.
AND SWITCHING GEARS TO WOMEN’S LACROSSE.
#3 SYRACUSE HOSTED #7 DUKE INSIDE CARRIER DOME ON SUNDAY.
THE ORANGE WERE DOWN EARLY IN THE GAME, WITH A DEFICIT AS LARGE AS 7 POINTS
BUT DON’T WORRY, THAT DIDN’T LAST LONG.
SYRACUSE PICKED UP SPEED THEN A SISTER TO SISTER CONNECTION BETWEEN MEGHAN AND EMMA TYRELL PUTS THE ORANGE TO 6 POINTS.
THE THIRD QUARTER WAS THE ORANGE’S TIME TO SHINE AS THEY CUT DUKE’S
LEAD DOWN FROM 4 TO 3 AND THEN TO 2 WHEN MEGHAN TYRELL SCORED TWICE IN 90 SECONDS

TYRELL IS TRULY ON FIRE, SHE SCORES TO TIE THE TEAMS AT 12.
SENIOR MEGAN CARNEY PUT THE ORANGE IN THE LEAD AT THE START OF THE FOURTH QUARTER.
AND MORE TYRELL FAMILY ACTION INCREASED THEIR LEAD.
SAM SWART SCORES WITH 22 SECONDS LEFT TO SECURE THE WIN FOR THE ORANGE.
AND NOW WE HAVE SOME BIG ICE HOCKEY NEWS. THE WOMEN’S ICE HOCKEY
TEAM ARE NOW CHA CHAMPIONS AFTER AN OVERTIME WIN AGAINST MERCYHURST.
OUR KATELYN MCCARTHY IS LIVE TO DISCUSS THE TEAM’S CHANCES AT THE UPCOMING NCAA TOURNAMENT.
