Lacrosse History This Week -- ND #1
The University of Notre Dame's men's lacrosse team made history this week -- as they were voted #1 in college lacrosse for the first time in school history! The undefeated IRISH -- the only undefeated team in college lacrosse -- were ranked #1 in both major lacrosse polls; Nike/Inside Lacrosse Poll and the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Coaches Poll.
The "cool" thing about the number #1 ranking of the Irish is this -- this sport has been dominated by schools on the east coast. In fact, Notre Dame is the "furthest school west" to ever be ranked #1 in lacrosse. Here are links to the polls along with a link to a South Bend Tribune story:
