CORRIGAN REACHES HISTORIC MILESTONE

COSTABILE CLOSING IN ON HISTORY

• Costabile was named the 2019 ACC Offensive Player of the Year and was a unanimous first team All-America selection.
• The midfielder has 97 career goals, ranking tied for 10th in program history.
• Costabile is set to become just the ninth Notre Dame player to reach the 100-career goal mark and is 14 goals shy of becoming the program record-holder for career goals by a midfielder. The mark is currently held by Irish great Sergio Perkovic (110 goals).
