Notre Dame men's lacrosse lost this Sunday to Denver 11-10 on a buzzer-beater goal by the Pioneer's Connor Cannizzaro.

#1/#1 Notre Dame lacrosse will challenge the #4/#5 Denver Pioneers this Sunday, 3:00 EST in Denver. 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 [...]
Mission number one on Wednesday night for the Fighting Irish basketball team was to secure their 12th ACC victory. Mission number two was to send off seniors Steve Vasturia, V.J. Beachem, and Patrick Mazza in style. Check and check. The Irish defeated Boston College 82-66. The comfortable margin allowed Mike Brey to insert Patrick Mazza, [...]
The Notre Dame men's lacrosse team pummeled the previously undefeated Michigan Wolverines 16-5 on a cold afternoon at Arlotta Stadium. As we had hoped, the Fighting Irish did #Rememberthe6, and added five more for good measure. We can now stop hearing the gobbledygook about the B1G and Michigan being undefeated. Before we get to the [...]
The Notre Dame lacrosse team plays Michigan this Sunday at 2:00 pm, Arlotta Stadium, ESPN3. In the lacrosse world, Michigan is a very new program, somewhat underachieving, but deserving of some credit for trying to hack it in the very difficult Big 10. This year they begin the season with a 4-0 record, feeling good and [...]
Notre Dame men's lacrosse team beat Georgetown 16-10 to win he 2017 Patriot Cup in Frisco, Texas. The Irish looked strong in their first outing of the year, and one thing we know for certain: this is a much different team that the 2016 vintage. Notre Dame opened with a lineup that was somewhat unexpected, [...]
Coming off of their most impressive win of the season against Florida State, the Notre Dame hoops team traveled to Boston for the first of their two annual matchups against the Eagles. It was supposed to be the beginning of a much easier stretch for the Irish, who have faced the most difficult conference strength [...]
Just when it looked like this season was going to slip away from Notre Dame, it certainly seems like the Irish are back. They capped off the great week with a comfortable win Saturday night over Florida State, 84-72. The Irish had lost 5 of their last 7 entering Saturday, but they started to look [...]
It’s no secret that the Notre Dame hoops team has been taking its lumps lately. Four consecutive losses took the Irish from a team with a top-15 ranking nationally to a team unsure if they could finish above .500 in the ACC. This drastic downturn left Tuesday’s home game against Wake Forest, perhaps an inconspicuous-looking [...]
Coach Kevin Corrigan of the USILA #4 Notre Dame men's lacrosse team released what may be the most difficult schedule in the country Thursday on Lax Sports Network. There are no cupcakes on this slate, with the Irish playing the 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 14, 17, and 18th ranked teams. The tilt against Michigan will be the only [...]
The Notre Dame men's lacrosse team, after a week of practices and sundry in sunny Florida, played the US National Lacrosse Team this past Saturday. The Irish played very well against the best lacrosse players in the world and expectations for this squad are rising steadily. With stalwarts Matt Landis, Matt Kavanagh and Ed Glazener [...]
As I mentioned last week, I spent a portion of my holidays charting 111 Wake Forest defensive plays from 2016 games against Clemson, FSU and Temple. In the previous post we looked at the base alignment incoming Notre Dame defensive coordinator Mike Elko uses (link here). This time we are going to take a look [...]
