SEASON OUTLOOKS
IRISH MEN
The Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team recently announced its challenging 2016 schedule, which was deemed by Inside Lacrosse as the nation’s toughest competitive slate. In all, the Irish will play nine opponents ranked in the preseason rankings, including six of the Top 10 teams. Notre Dame enters its campaign for the first time as the nation’s preseason favorite.
Season ticket holders and fans alike will be treated to seven home games, highlighted by a nonconference battle with defending NCAA champion and preseason No. 2 Denver (March 13) and a pair of Atlantic Coast Conference contests against No. 7 Virginia (March 19) and No. 3 Duke (April 10).
The Irish, who boast two consecutive NCAA semifinal runs, return three first-team All-America honorees from the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association – senior Matt Kavanagh, junior Sergio Perkovic and senior Matt Landis. Last season marked the first time the Irish have had three first-team picks. Junior Garrett Epple, who garnered honorable mention All-America accolades, is another key returnee for the Irish.
Overall, the Irish bring back seven starters from the 2015 campaign and 34 total student-athletes who earned playing time.
As a unit, Notre Dame captured the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title in 2015 in just its second season as a conference member. Notre Dame concluded the season with a 12-3 overall record and an undefeated 4-0 conference standing.
IRISH WOMEN
Returning 11 of 12 starters, including four All-Americans, the Notre Dame women’s lacrosse team hopes to stand among the top teams in the nation when the 2016 NCAA Championship rolls around in May.
The squad’s home schedule features four top 10 teams in No. 3 Syracuse (March 26), No. 4 Duke (April 16), No. 9 Virginia (March 19) and No. 10 Boston College (Feb. 21) along with a visit by No. 13 Princeton (March 13).
Notre Dame reached the NCAAs for a school-record fourth consecutive year in 2015, advancing to the second round. The Irish saw a school-record nine players net at least 20 points in 2015, eight of which return in 2016. The 11 returning starters for the Irish include Tewaaraton Award finalist and first-team All-American Barbara Sullivan, along with her fellow All-Americans Cortney Fortunato (first-team), Alex Dalton (second-team) and Casey Pearsall (third-team). The Irish bolstered this sturdy lineup by signing the third-best recruiting class in the nation last spring – one which included three members of the United States’ Under-19 national team.
