Forgive Irish head coach Kevin Corrigan if he has grown a few more gray hairs than most over the last decade or so. Notre Dame, which opens its 2016 season Saturday against Georgetown in Atlanta, has now lost to the eventual national champion in the NCAA tournament eight of the last 10 years, only once

All season long, the Irish tried to bounce back from being just a couple of goals away from hoisting the program’s first national championship in 2014. Notre Dame responded to that defeat in a big way, winning the regular season ACC title and capturing the first No. 1 overall seed in program history in this year’s NCAA tournament. In

After wrapping up its first Atlantic Coast Conference regular season title, No. 1 Notre Dame will look to repeat as ACC tournament champions this weekend when it opens against No. 6 Duke on Friday night in the semifinals. The Irish (9-1, 4-0 ACC), winners of six straight, and Blue Devils (10-4, 1-3 ACC) met fewer than three weeks

No. 1 Notre Dame extended its winning streak to five games after taking down No. 7 Duke and No. 16 Marquette over the Easter break.

Two games in, and already No. 2 Notre Dame’s offense is setting records. With a 17-8 road win over Michigan on Saturday, the Irish (2-0) have scored 31 goals on the season, good for fifth in the country and the most by any squad in program history since 1992. Despite the big numbers, Irish coach Kevin

Who said the Notre Dame-Michigan rivalry was over? The No. 2 Irish and Wolverines will clash for the first time ever on the lacrosse field Saturday in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Michigan (2-0) is in the midst of its fourth full season as an NCAA Division I member in lacrosse. Over that span, the Wolverines are 0-16

On the eve of a new season, Kevin Corrigan is taking things one day at a time, so much so that the Irish coach has not even had time to focus on who No. 2 Notre Dame is playing Saturday at noon. “The biggest challenge [this weekend] is that we don’t know anything about them,” Corrigan said

BALTIMORE — Second chances. No. 6 seed Notre Dame has had plenty of them in its late-season run to the Final Four. On Monday, the Irish (12-5, 2-3 ACC) will have one more when they face top-seeded Duke for the national championship at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Not only have the Blue Devils (16-3,

BALTIMORE – By the time Matt Kavanagh buried his fifth goal of the NCAA semifinal against No. 7 seed Maryland in the back of the net, there was no doubt that No. 6 seed Notre Dame was headed to the national championship game. The only question was if the sophomore attack could outscore Maryland by
