Notre Dame came out today and just handed the #7 team in the land, a smacking 12-7. Notre Dame who snuck into the field as a "Bubble Team," unranked, has beaten three power house lacrosse teams, to get to play on Memorial Day. Neil Hicks with four goals, the defense stiffling the Cornell power offense, and Scott Rogers (6'4'' 250 lbs.) with stellar play in goal, is what powered the Irish past "The Big (or not so big) Red."
They will play either Duke #5 (who they beat earlier in the year, dramatically, but lead by the number one scorer Ned Crotty and C. J. Crostefield), or the #1 team in the land (with the best player in the land, in Shamel Bratton). Bratton, if they do beat Duke, can single handedly beat a team, he is that good. However, Notre Dame has the bragging rights, as of now, going to the finals, as an unranked team (the first time since UMASS in 2006).
It would be nice for an Irish Title in something, since the NCAA Basketball team laid an egg, two years in a row. :)
Peace, God Bless, and Go IRISH!!!!!!
