Notre Dame lost a close one to Syracuse. The Irish look pretty good to me. Notre Dame is one of the 10 -15 best Programs in the country. Notre Dame is an excellent school and their women's lacrosse program is top notch. Some on this site bash them every year out of some sort of jealousy or bitterness (I have been critical of their out of conference schedule this year). Hate all you want, The Irish are very good.
