From a nice football season to a March Madness run to a College World Series berth, Notre Dame’s male programs had a fine 2021-22 campaign. Now, they’re being rewarded for it. For the second time, Notre Dame has won the Capital One Trophy for the men’s side. It’s also the fourth time a school has been awarded the trophy multiple times. The others are Virginia, Stanford and Florida.
Irish athletic director [autotag]Jack Swarbrick[/autotag] took to Twitter to express pride for what the male programs did during the past school year:
So proud of the work our student-athletes have put in to come out on top.
This is an amazing honor for them, our coaches, our staff and the University.
Two men’s trophies in nine years is a great feat – only four schools have won two total titles!#BeIrish https://t.co/1GdZDbcp31

The Irish previously won the trophy in 2013-14. In addition to the new hardware, the athletic department will be awarded $250,000 to be used for its student-athlete scholarship fund. One only can imagine the impact that will have over the next few years.
It’s nice to see Notre Dame receive a token of all the success we’ve seen recently. Here’s to an equally successful 2022-23 school year.
