Notre Dame Lacrosse is the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The Fighting Irish were riding high as the No. 1 team in the nation. But that came crashing down with a tough 15-10 loss to Virginia in the ACC Tournament. Though the Cavaliers went on to secure the ACC title, the result didn't seriously damage Notre Dame’s postseason hopes. When the NCAA selections were announced, the Irish grabbed the second seed, behind only Princeton.
This ranking positions Notre Dame well for the NCAA Tournament. They will face the winner of Jacksonville and Robert Morris on May 10 at Arlotta Stadium. The Irish have playoff experience and a strong roster that features notable players with the ability to change the game. With the first round games all set to air on ESPNU, fans can expect an electric atmosphere as the Irish look to bounce back from last weekend's disappointment.
As the Irish prepare, all eyes will be on the matchup against Jacksonville or Robert Morris. This game will set the tone for the rest of the tournament and could propel Notre Dame back to championship contention.
