With 10 minutes left in the game, it looked as if No. 1 Notre Dame was going to lock up its second straight ACC regular season title. Almost eight minutes later, the script was completely flipped as No. 13 North Carolina scored seven straight goals to win 17-15 and snatch a piece of the ACC

After two and half hours of lacrosse Saturday at Arlotta Stadium, nothing had been resolved between the top two teams in the country. Then, Irish senior midfielder Jack Near, who had the game-winning goal last year against Syracuse in the ACC Championship, sent a raucous crowd of 3,602 fans to their feet as No. 2

When No. 2 Notre Dame takes on No. 1 Syracuse tomorrow at Arlotta Stadium, both teams will bring top-10 offenses and top-10 defenses to the matchup. Naturally, something’s got to give in this battle of heavyweights. While some might think the stakes higher than usual for Notre Dame (5-1, 1-0 ACC), head coach Kevin Corrigan

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.
