Syracuse defeated Loyola Maryland in the championship game, 21–9. However, Syracuse's participation in the tournament was later vacated by the NCAA Committee on infractions because coach Roy Simmons, Jr.'s wife co-signed a car loan with Paul Gait. The championship game was played at Rutgers Stadium at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey, with 19,070 fans in attendance. Overview Due to the violations, Roy Simmons, Jr.'s 3–0 record. as well as Paul Gait's 7 goals and 7 assists in this tournament, are not recognized by the NCAA. Generally considered one of the best teams in NCAA lacrosse history, the 1990 Syracuse team is notable for finishing undefeated and featuring the Gait brothers—Paul and Gary Gait—and hall-of-famer Tom Marechek. The Orangemen won three consecutive titles from 1988 to 1990. They became the first team to win three in a row since Johns Hopkins from 1978 to 1980. The 1990 team scored more than 20 goals in 10 games this season, including 20 or more goals over the three NCAA tournament teams. Their closest game was a 15–12 win over Penn. During the Gaits' four years at Syracuse, the team went 50–5 and won three straight national titles (one of which was vacated by the NCAA).
