#22
Syracuse Lacrosse’s History With The #22
#22 has a long standing history with the sport of lacrosse in general, not just at Syracuse.
The jersey #22 has long been doled out to a lacrosse teams captain or best player, and not necessarily only offensive players as is common these days. Back in the “old days”, the #22 could be warn by a senior defender as easily as someone on attack.
But these days, if you ask a lacrosse player between the ages of 25 and 60 what single team is #22 most associated with, and their answers will be almost unanimously Syracuse.
Starting with Gary Gait all the way through to Mike Powell, the jersey #22 was warn by a player that was a 4-time All-American. For 17 seasons in a row, someone was named an All-American while wearing #22 for Syracuse. Gary Gait only wore the jersey between his sophomore and senior years, and Ryan Powell donned it for his junior and senior year, but each were 4-time All-Americans.
