Legendary men's lacrosse coach Roy Simmons Jr. '59 will be recognized with Syracuse Athletics' highest honor when he is inducted into the Orange's Ring of Honor in the Carrier Dome. The ceremony is part of a Celebration of Lacrosse scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 20. In addition, Katie Rowan '09 and Gary Gait '90 will have their jerseys retired during the event.



Rowan is one of the most decorated players in program history and helped the Orange become a perennial national contender. Not only is she Syracuse's all-time leading scorer, but Rowan ranks among the top scorers in the history of the sport. She is ninth on the NCAA Division I career record list for points (396) and 11th in assists (164).

In 2008 Rowan led the nation in scoring and led Syracuse to the NCAA Championship Weekend for the first time. She finished the year with 142 points on 73 goals and 69 assists. Her point and assist totals still stand as the Syracuse single-season records. She was named a finalist for both the Tewaaraton Award and Honda Award.

Rowan also found success on the international stage, helping Team USA win the 2009 and 2013 FIL World Cup. She earned All-World honors in 2013 and still holds the Team USA single-game record for goals (8) and career records for points (69) and assists (35).

Her work in the classroom also didn't go unnoticed as earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in 2008 and 2009 and was a four-time BIG EAST All-Academic selection.
