Syracuse will face each of the four teams that comprised the 2021 Final Four, including playing defending National Champion Virginia twice. Maryland, who Syracuse plays in the second game of the season, was the runner up. Virginia's roster features three Preseason All-Americans, while Maryland has five. Syracuse has two Preseason All-Americans in Brendan Curry and Tucker Dordevic.
Syracuse has undergone significant change within its men's lacrosse program during the offseason. Longtime head coach John Desko retired, while Gary Gait was named as his replacement, coming over from the women's program. Gait is looking to bring Syracuse back to national prominence, as the Orange has not made a Final Four in eight years nor a national championship in 12 years.
