Notre Dame Men’s Lacrosse: 6-0 with everything ahead
It’s a bye week for Notre Dame Men’s Lacrosse. It’s a good opportunity for us to take inventory of the season so far and where we are at with our Fighting Irish in this 2026 lacrosse season. I was not able to get an article up for the 9-4 win against the University of Michigan, so I will cover off briefly on that here, but also wanted to get some overall thoughts on what we have witnessed so far…..

We finally took a look at the college lacrosse landscape as a whole. Let’s get into everything below.
Notre Dame beats Michigan 9-4 There is a lot we could write about this game, but going to put some summary points that highlight the day. This game was won in the third quarter as Notre Dame was able to stave off a two minute man-up opportunity for Michigan. After the Wolverines got the score to 5-4 early in the 3rd quarter, Michigan had the man advantage and the Irish defense clamped down, not allowing a goal.
From there the Irish would score the next four goals and Michigan wouldn’t see the back of the net for the remainder of the game. Another outstanding performance from Thomas Ricciardelli as he is rounding into All-American form over his last two games. I counted at least two or three doorstop saves from him against Michigan that should have been goals.
