SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Former Syracuse All-Americans Joel White and Chris Daniello and have put together a star-studded team of Orange alums for the upcoming Orange Alumni Lacrosse Classic at the Carrier Dome. Their team of all-stars will take the field against the 2013-14 Orange Saturday, Oct. 12 at 3 p.m.
The 25-man alumni roster includes some of the greatest players in the history of the program, including four-time All-American Mike Leveille.
