Kristen Kjellman
Kristen Kjellman led Northwestern to three straight national championships from 2005 to 2007, going 77-5 across her four seasons with a 13-1 record in NCAA tournament play, and became the first lacrosse player of either gender to win the Tewaaraton Trophy in consecutive seasons, taking the award in both 2006 and 2007. She left Northwestern as the program's all-time leader in both goals (250) and points (349), and she still holds the NCAA all-time record for career tournament goals (39) as well as the NCAA record for career draw controls (268) at a 3.29-per-game average. Kjellman was the only four-year All-American in Northwestern women's lacrosse history, earning first-team honors three times, and she was named national midfielder of the year three times during a stretch when her program was in the process of building modern women's lacrosse's most dominant dynasty. Her combination of an unmatched consecutive-year Tewaaraton double and NCAA tournament scoring and draw-control records that still stand has made Kjellman one of the most statistically decorated players in the history of women's college lacrosse.
VS
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.
