Gary Gait
Gary Gait unveiled the "Air Gait" in the 1988 NCAA semifinal against Penn, leaping from behind the goal and dunking the ball over the crease for two goals — a move so effective the NCAA outlawed that type of shot shortly afterward. Gait anchored Syracuse to three straight national championships from 1988 to 1990. He finished his Syracuse career as the program's all-time leading goal-scorer with 192 goals, and his single-season mark of 70 goals stood as an NCAA record until 2008. He still holds NCAA tournament records for most goals in a game (9), most points in a game (12), and most career tournament goals (50). Gait's professional career spanned three different leagues across more than a decade: three National Lacrosse League indoor titles (1991, 1994-95), three Major League Lacrosse titles (2001-02, 2005), and three Mann Cups (1991, 1997, 1999) in Canadian box lacrosse, along with a 2006 world championship with Team Canada. Gait's combination of a rule-changing signature move and championship-level dominance across three professional leagues in two different lacrosse disciplines has made him the player most consistently cited as the greatest in the sport's history.
VS
Casey Powell
Casey Powell, the eldest of Syracuse's three Powell brothers, was a four-time collegiate All-American, earning first-team honors in 1996, 1997, and 1998, and won the Raymond Enners Award as the sport's national player of the year in both 1997 and 1998, plus national midfielder of the year in 1996 and national attackman of the year in 1998. He was part of Syracuse's 1995 national championship team, earning All-Tournament honors that year among four total All-Tournament selections, and he closed his Syracuse career ranked second in program history with 287 points and fourth with 158 goals — numbers that stood out even on a roster that included his own brothers. All three Powell brothers wore jersey No. 22 at Syracuse across their overlapping careers, a shared number that became closely associated with the family's dominance of the program through the mid-to-late 1990s and into the 2000s. Casey Powell's combination of a national championship, back-to-back national player of the year awards, and his place atop Syracuse's all-time scoring charts has made him one of the foundational figures in the family that came to define an entire era of Syracuse lacrosse.
