After a long mediocre season, North Carolina came back from [...]
With immediate effect, the NCAA banned all Division I lacrosse schools from any contact with players and their families until Sept. 1 of their junior year of high school. Notre Dame coach Kevin Corrigan is vindicated as one of the last hold-outs opposed to the practice of recruiting eighth graders and younger. Recruiting got so [...]
#7/#10 Notre Dame wins over Marquette, 11-10, on last-minute Perkovic goal. The #MotorCityHitman had a personal best 6 goals. The Fighting Irish were up 8-2 in the 2nd quarter and looking to put the Golden Eagles away when things started to dry up. Marquette clawed their way back into the game and tied it 10-10 with eight [...]
#7/#10 Notre Dame Lacrosse takes on Marquette this afternoon at 4:00 pm at Arlotta Stadium, ESPN3. We identified this game as the classic trap game in our preseason article.

#4 Notre Dame lacrosse lost to #10 Duke this afternoon 8-11 in Durham, NC. A rough start, an inability to put away easy shots, and perhaps a questionable defensive strategy, was more than the Irish could overcome against Duke. Perkovic had two goals (including his career 100th), Garnsey and Wynne with two each, and Gleason and [...]
Notre Dame men's lacrosse has reached the midpoint of the season, 5-2, ranked ~#4 in the polls but retaining #1 position in the all-important RPI. The Irish remain well positioned for home-game seeding in the NCAA tournament. Here at ND-Atl, we had an internal argument as to the mid-season status of the team. We've reduced [...]
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.

Notre Dame men's lacrosse topped Ohio State on Saturday, 12-7, and with the victory earned the de facto B1G title, by going undefeated against the conference, 3-0 this year and 7-0 during the B1G's lacrosse lifetime. Jokes aside, the B1G has had quite a year so far, so being the only team to put such a [...]
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.

Notre Dame men's lacrosse takes down high-flying Virginia in overtime thriller under the lights, 11-10. High drama, three weeks in a row.
