This will be an interesting matchup between two teams that are riding their own personal hot streaks. Boston’s last loss came in late February on the road against Providence.

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…

Kevin Rice pumped his arms above his head with two hands on his stick as if he was performing a bench press. And then he did it again. And again. It was an homage to Randy Staats, who missed No. 1 Syracuse’s (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) 19-7 win over No. 4 Duke (7-2, 0-1) with a lower-body injury and usually celebrates goals with this hand gesture. And even without its…
