As one of the most dominating teams in lacrosse, Notre Dame destroyed their opening round opponent, Marquette, gaining early momentum. As one of the favorites in this year’s NCAA Tournament, the Fighting Irish are using their talented roster and high-scoring offense to earn their spot in the semifinals for the 8th consecutive season.
Behind Brendan Gleason’s Notre Dame NCAA Tournament record-tying five goals and Brendan Collins’ four goals, the Fighting Irish held off 8-7 Marquette on their way to yet another Elite Eight appearance.
Now, Notre Dame looks forward to playing west coast foe, Denver. As the four and five seeds in the tournament, these two should provide one of the most entertaining matchups of the NCAA Tournament.
