US Lacrosse magazine reports leading Irish lacrosse attackman Ryder Garnsey has been granted his release to transfer. They further report that he may sit out a year to play at Virginia. We have not been able to otherwise confirm. Transfers from the lacrosse team are rare, and a transfer of the presumed focal point of [...]
Baseball is currently slogging its way through their 432-game season but on Memorial Day a tussle out of AT&T Park in San Francisco grabbed the attention of the nation and myself. We even have a Notre Dame alum playing a major role. Let's discuss. First off, the background involved isn't important. The Nationals Bryce Harper [...]
The season ended for Notre Dame with a catastrophic loss to Denver in the NCAA quarterfinals, 16-4. There aren't many positive details to review, but Mikey Wynne did have a hat trick in the loss and Garrett Epple had an outstanding 5 caused turnovers and 7 ground balls. Sergio Perkovic had a goal and an assist [...]
Welcome to another edition of 5WF. 1. Notre Dame is currently going through perhaps the most boring spring football of our lifetime. Is there something the school can do to add some buzz to this time of year? Should they be concerned with making improvements? This is a tough call. We football fans are enormously [...]
Notre Dame lost to the visiting Syracuse Orangemen, 11-10, this afternoon at Arlotta Stadium. The Irish should think they let this one get away from them. The Irish made some critical mistakes in transition defense in the first half that gave the Orange too much of a lead. Syracuse took a few pages out of [...]
#1 Notre Dame lacrosse hosts #3 Syracuse this Saturday at Arlotta Stadium, 12:00 pm, ESPNU. This game has been circled on the Orangemen's calendar after the Irish embarrassed Syracuse last year 17-7 at the Carrier Dome on the occasion of their 100th lacrosse anniversary celebration. Further, Notre Dame dispatched the then #1 Orange in 2015 [...]
The #2 Fighting Irish play the #4 Ohio State Buckeyes this Saturday at 2:00, Arlotta Stadium, ESPN3. Another top 5 matchup for the 4-1 Irish. Now that women's hoops has dusted off the Buckeyes, let's hope men's lacrosse can do the same. Ohio State has surprised the nation and enters this game with a perfect [...]
#2 Notre Dame men's lacrosse will play ACC foe #12 Virginia Cavaliers in the ESPNU Old Spice game o' the week in Charlottesville, Saturday, 6:00 pm. We can't imagine there would be any conflicting game you'd rather be watching on Saturday, since the onlyhoops game worth watching should end by 2:30. However, if you do have [...]
There's a saying in golf that goes: "There are no pictures on the scorecard." Whatever it takes to get the ball in the hole. Mark down your score and move to the next hole. Mike Brey and his Fighting Irish earned exactly zero point zero style points as they opened the NCAA Tournament Thursday. If [...]
Since everyone needs one more bracket pool to join, we are happy to fill the void. Join the 18 Stripes bracket challenge group on ESPN to compete against the Irish sports writers, and your fellow readers. Even if you haven't watched non-ND basketball game all season and choose based on the cooler mascot, you're encouraged [...]
Notre Dame men's lacrosse lost this Sunday to Denver 11-10 on a buzzer-beater goal by the Pioneer's Connor Cannizzaro. Once again, it was an epic battle as has been the tradition between these western lacrosse powers. // Connor Cannizzaro wins it at the buzzer! pic.twitter.com/984X56rB8y — Dan Aburn (@danaburn2423) March 12, 2017 The game followed [...]

The game will be broadcast on Altitude TV (DishNetwork channel 413, DirecTV channel 681) and streamed on Pioneer Vision. This game has for quite some time decided bragging rights for the whole western U.S. lacrosse world. 5 of the [...]
In a defensive battle for the ages, Notre Dame mens' lacrosse upended the #1 Maryland Terrapins 5-4 at Arlotta Stadium. During this wild weekend of lacrosse, the #2 Denver Pioneers (ND's opponents next week) were dispatched by North Carolina, and our guess is the bulk of #3 Johns Hopkins apparently stayed on the bus to watch [...]
The Irish controlled their own destiny to earn another ACC Tournament double-bye. If Notre Dame had gone into Louisville and beaten the Cardinals, they would have locked up the 2 seed in Brooklyn. They couldn't hold up their end of the bargain, however, as they fell in a frustrating one to Louisville, 71-64. Notre Dame [...]
Before we get to the business of the upcoming lacrosse action between #1 Maryland and #4 Notre Dame (Saturday at noon, Arlotta Stadium, ESPN3), we must first discuss the misguided efforts at co-optation by supporters of the Maryland lacrosse team of the style and image of one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time. The use [...]
