‘I just felt really lost out there:’ Syracuse faceoff specialist drove to New Jersey to fix his game Updated 8:39 PM; Facebook Share “Hey coach, I’m pretty lost right now.” Phaup, Syracuse’s lead faceoff specialist, took a second-straight beating at the X in the loss to the Irish, leading to an overworked defense and handing extra possessions to some of the most gifted shot-makers in college lacrosse.
