Congrats to the trio of Irish recipients

Fresh off defending its National Championship, Notre Dame lacrosse players were bound for more recognition.

It should come as no surprise that the three were honored, as they led the Irish’s charge all year long. Kavanagh’s list of accolades just increased, as he was already the ACC Offensive Player of the Year, a first-team All-American, won the programs first Tewaaraton Award while setting the Notre Dame career points and assists records.

Congrats to the three Irish stars on a massively successful season.

College Lacrosse – No. 1 Notre Dame Wins at No. 3 Duke

A huge road win for the Irish!

It was a rematch of last year’s national championship lacrosse game and again between a pair of the nation’s top-ranked teams on Sunday.  No. 1 Notre Dame traveled to No. 3 Duke in a showdown that lived up to the billing.

Notre Dame jumped out to an early lead, scoring the game’s first goal before exchanging the next pair with the Blue Devils to hold a 3-2 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The second quarter saw the Fighting Irish head to halftime on a scoring spree.  After allowing two Duke goals to open the period, Notre Dame scored five-straight to hold an 8-4 halftime edge.  The Brothers Kavanagh, Chris and Pat, each scored a pair of goals during that 5-0 run.

Duke scored early in the second to get back within three before the two teams matched the final portion of the third quarter which ended with Notre Dame holding a 10-7 lead.

The first part of the fourth quarter belonged to the Devils as they struck fast to score four goals while allowing just one, tying the game at 11 with 9:09 to play.  It’s one thing to give up a lead, it’s another to fall behind, and Notre Dame never did that keeping things at least tied.

From there the Irish outscored Duke 3-1 to close the contest and win 14-12.

Pat Kavanagh led the Irish with four goals and three assists while Chris Kavanagh also scored four goals while assisting one.

As is the norm, Notre Dame goaltender Liam Entenmann was great, stopping 14 Duke shots in the win.

Notre Dame returns to action next weekend when they travel to Cornell.

Watch: Notre Dame lacrosse makes ESPN’s SportsCenter No. 1 play

What a save!

It’s been a great start to Notre Dame lacrosse’s year, as they are the current No. 1 ranked program and backed that up with a win over No. 3 Syracuse on Saturday, 14-12.

The win improves the Irish’s record to 6-1 on the year, 1-0 in ACC play and keeps the winning streak going which now stands at 4 games in-a-row. Three Notre Dame players scored two goals, Jake Taylor, Pat Kavanagh and Eric Dobson.

It wasn’t what the Irish did on offense that stood out, but instead the play of goalie [autotag]Liam Entenmann[/autotag]. His save in the 4th quarter was a thing of beauty, and it was good enough to top the charts on SportsCenter Top Plays.

The effort was amazing and Entenmann deserved the recognition.
