Syracuse Lacrosse: The Importance of this Year's NCAA Tournament

The Syracuse Lacrosse I grew up with was absolutely dominant. They played the game of lacrosse in such a fluent and fast paced was. The offense was high powered and fast, while the defense was stifling and hard hitting.

I never got to see the Gaits, Lockwood, Beardsley's or any of the legends from the 1980's and 1990's play for Syracuse. I don't recall much from the famed careers of Casey Powell or Ryan Powell. What I do remember is Mikey Powell and all the magic he could perform with a lacrosse stick. Mikey and Syracuse's style of play is what got me hooked to the game and program.
