Former Syracuse attack and three-time All-American Rob Kavovit has died, his teammates confirmed Wednesday. He was 45.
With the Orange, Kavovit won a national championship in 1995 and played in four Final Fours during his time. His 10 assists in the 1995 championship run are a program record, and his 18 tournament points that year are fourth all-time. As a sophomore, Kavovit scored four goals in the 13-9 championship game against Maryland for SU’s fifth NCAA title.
RIP to my former teammate and roommate #15 Rob Kavovit. He was one of the best players of all time and an even better person. So fortunate to have had the opportunity to know you. Miss you already. #HHH pic.twitter.com/YXgenOoVn0
