Notre Dame fell 3-1 to the defending national champion Clemson Tigers in the first round of the ACC tournament.

Five postseason clashes and five clean sheets for the Notre Dame defense. It’s been a stretch as good as this program has seen in recent years, and it has the Irish dancing on and into the Sweet 16, after a Round of 32 victory over Villanova. The Irish dominated start to finish, with an 8-3

Notre Dame men’s soccer dropped the final game of their regular season Friday, falling to North Carolina 3-1 in Chapel Hill.
