Syracuse lost despite outshooting Rochester 33-21.
The Crunch remain solidly in third place in the North Division despite the loss. It ultimately means little as the North Division finalized a decision that seemed a foregone conclusion and decided not to host a divisional postseason tournament. The good news is the league is envisioning a return to a normal regular season in the Fall.
