[HEADING=2]SYRACUSE WILL MISS NCAA TOURNAMENT[/HEADING]
It’s easy to get excited about the Orange this spring. With Gary Gait now at the helm and Dave Pietramala overseeing the defense, the team embarks on a new era led by two of the biggest [URL='https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/college/men/in-the-presence-of-legends-gait-petro-and-the-syracuse-reformation']legends[/URL] in the game. Despite the headlines and fervor, Syracuse, ranked No. 14 in the Nike/USA Lacrosse Magazine Preseason Top 20, still might be a year away, particularly with notable holes to fill after the graduation of [URL='https://twitter.com/laxreference/status/1488523689821982732?s=20&t=TXv6T5C9wmdICjTwbqPORw']Stephen Rehfuss[/URL] at attack and Drake Porter in the goal.

Those questions were compounded recently when Inside Lacrosse reported that sophomore attackman Owen Hiltz, who posted one of the most prolific freshman seasons in program history last spring, will miss extended time due to an upper body injury he sustained in a scrimmage against Michigan.

That all adds up to the Orange missing the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2007.

“We’ll probably be slated at the bottom of our conference, but that’s OK,” Gait [URL='https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/college/men/2022-ncaa-lacrosse-preview-no-14-syracuse-men']said[/URL] last month. “We’ll earn it and work our way toward the top of conference as we go through it.”
