With one broad stroke, Notre Dame men's lacrosse vanquished an archrival and history.
PHILADELPHIA — With one broad stroke, Notre Dame men’s lacrosse vanquished an archrival and history.
Six players scored two goals each for the Fighting Irish. Two attackmen, senior Jake Taylor and sophomore Chris Kavanagh, racked up two goals and one assist each, and graduate student midfielder Jack Simmons — a Lutherville resident and McDonogh graduate who transferred from Virginia — chipped in one goal and two assists.
Entenmann made seven saves in the fourth quarter and 18 for the game. And graduate student defenseman Chris Fake limited Tewaaraton Award finalist and junior attackman Brennan O’Neill to one goal on nine shots, one assist and two turnovers. “We really got tested,” said Entenmann, who was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. “At the same time, what Coach said in the locker room at halftime was, ‘It’s a game of runs, and they’re a really good team. So they’re going to go on a run at some point.’ We were bracing for it. We knew it was going to happen at some point, and it just happened to happen right after we came out of the tunnel.
The Fighting Irish became only the third team in the last 12 years to win the championship after playing in the second of Saturday’s two semifinals. They joined the 2017 and 2022 Maryland squads that triumphed two days after participating in the later semifinals.
