4. SYRACUSE
2020 record: 7-1
Last seen: Toppling ACC foe Virginia Tech 18-8 in the Crown Lacrosse Classic.
Initial forecast: We’ll never know just how good the 2020 Syracuse team could’ve been, as we were robbed of the chance to watch the Orange play consensus top team North Carolina. Big wins against Northwestern and Maryland were nice bouncebacks after falling to Stony Brook, though. Seeing how close they were to an NCAA title run in 2020, an array of student-athletes are back for fifth years — attackers Emily Hawryschuk and Morgan Alexander, midfielders Vanessa Costantino, Cara Quimby and Bella Recchion, defenders Lila Nazarian, Ella Simkins, Kerry Defliese and Morgan Widner and goalkeeper Asa Goldstock. This is one of the most talented teams Gary Gait has had in several years, making a title run very much in the cards.
