A major showdown between men’s lacrosse powerhouses took place on Saturday at Notre Dame as the top-ranked and reigning national champion Fighting Irish hosted No. 3 Syracuse.
The Irish controlled things early and were in control almost entirely throughout before things tightened up late in a 14-12 victory. It was a contest Notre Dame led over the Orange 13-7 with just seven minutes to play.
The biggest highlight of the day didn’t come on goal but instead on a save.
A save that is as good of one as you’ll ever see. Whether you’re a fan of lacrosse or not, check out the stop Liam Entenmann made on the charging Orange.
SAVE OF THE YEAR? 🤯

The reigning national champion Irish move to 6-1 on the season as they’ll travel to Durham, North Carolina next week for a rematch of last year’s national title contest against Duke.
