Gary Gait has been the head coach of the Syracuse Orange women’s lacrosse team for 14 years now.
In his decade and a half at the helm of the Orange, Gait has accomplished quite a lot. In 2008, he took over a fledgling Syracuse program that had picked up only one NCAA tournament win in its first 10 years of existence, and promptly led them to the Final Four in his first season.
He came out of the gates exactly the way you’d expect from one of the most legendary figures in the history of the sport: Like a man on fire.
