Ashley Wenskoski is joined by Class of 2026 quarterback Semaj Beals on this overtime episode of The Orange Zone Podcast. Beals is the quarterback at Philadelphia's Roman Catholic High School, where he broke the city's all-time passing yards record as a junior last fall - a record that was previously set by none other than Kyle McCord. Beals recently went on an official visit to Syracuse and is heavily considering the Orange as he approaches his commitment date on July 12th.

Samantha Croston and Ashley Wenskoski are joined this week by two very special guests. Both Allyson Trice (SU '21) and Paige Crandall (Le Moyne '24) are headed to compete for the Haudenosaunee Nationals in the Pan-American Lacrosse Association (PALA) Women's Qualifier at the end of June in Florida. The top four teams from the tournament will qualify for the 2026 World Lacrosse Women's Championship. The 11-team field for the qualifier will see the Haudenosaunee compete against ten countries.

Both Trice and Crandall currently work as assistant coaches for Le Moyne women's lacrosse. Join us for a conversation discussing representing women's lacrosse on the world stage and the fight for the Haudenosaunee to be recognized by the IOC for a chance to compete in the Olympics.
