Notre Dame offense starts showing a pulse in a 9-8 win, with improved performances from Matt Kavanaugh and Irish bench
The #2 Fighting Irish traveled to The Horseshoe for a rematch of their 9-0 pasting of the then #15 Ohio State Buckeyes last year at Arlotta Stadium (Aprox. 0.025% of Div. I lacrosse games are shutouts). Coming into the game this year, Ohio State had fallen out of the top-20 with a record of 5-4 and was on the heels of a three-game losing streak. This was the 41st meeting between the teams, who have played at least once every year since lacrosse became a varsity sport in 1981.
