No. 1 vs. No. 2. With about a month left in the regular season, it doesn’t get much better, especially considering how close the two Syracuse-Notre Dame games were last season. Each game was decided by one goal and another classic could be in store on Saturday. The Orange will travel to South Bend, Indiana to play its first true road game of the year. Both teams are coming off…

    And then there was one.   Four teams entered the week unbeaten.  Only Syracuse would avoid a loss.  They also showed that they completely deserve that top ranking by routing Duke 19-7.  Maryland gave North Carolina their first loss behind a stellar defense once again.  Speaking of defense, Notre Dame shut out Ohio State for the second goose egg in Division I this season.   There was a…

April 10, 1984. That was the only other time Notre Dame’s lacrosse program had shut out the opposing team. Mount Union was outmatched 15-0 that day. March 21, 2015. Ohio State loses 9-0 at Arlotta Stadium in South Bend, Ind. So here’s the deal. I’m going to make this portion of my column short and sweet, because being shutout is pretty self explanatory and I’m not one to beat a…
