#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. The Irish don't play many midweek games, and it is always a struggled to prepare on such a short turnaround. Marquette (6-3) has been hovering around [...]
#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. Further, Notre Dame dispatched the then #1 Orange in 2015 [...]
Our 18Stripes colleagues do a fantastic job breaking down football film, so we figured we'd take a shot at explaining a few of the more interesting lacrosse plays fans will witness this season. We will call these segments Lacrosse Playbook since all the other good names were taken. Joe Keegan (twitter: @joekeegs) wrote a fantastic piece [...]
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. 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 [...]
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. This time the Irish found a solution to Lars Tiffany's prolific offense, albeit by a closer margin than we would like! Plenty of heroics this week. Notre Dame took an early lead and [...]
#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 [...]
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 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 [...]
