Winner of back-to-back NCAA lacrosse titles, Notre Dame is coming off a 14-12 loss to Syracuse in the ACC Tournament semifinals on May 2.

The Penn State men's lacrosse team will make its third straight appearance in the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament, seeking to match its run to the semifinals two years ago. The Nittany Lions received an at-large bid to the 18-team tournament, which begins this weekend with first-round games at home sites.

To keep the dream of winning a third consecutive national championship alive, Notre Dame men’s lacrosse must avenge a loss to an opponent it was already defeated by earlier this season. The unseeded Fighting Irish (8-4) begin the 2025 NCAA Tournament on the road at No.
