Women’s Lacrosse Wins Big East Title; Same with Women’s Rowing

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish women’s lacrosse team has captured the Big East Conference championship.  The other day the lacrosse team beat Georgetown in the Big East title game, winning 12-10 with the help of a fantastic defensive effort by goalie Erin Goodman. The Irish will get an automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament, set to begin shortly. We should all go get some tickets to their Tourney games and support the Irish on their way to the national championship.

In other Notre Dame sports news, The Notre Dame women’s crew team has won the Big East Conference championship.  The Rowing team has won six titles in a row- the longest conference title win streak save for Notre Dame swimming and diving, which has won 13 conference championships in a row.  Irish rowing head coach Martin Stone said:

“We are very pleased that we won the BIG EAST title. It certainly was a total team effort as all six of our boats contributed to today’s championship. We knew going in that it was going to be a very challenging day of racing, but I am so proud of how our team responded to the challenge. Over the course of the last several weeks, I believe that we have picked up speed and I’m excited as to where we are and the progress we have made heading into the Central/South Region Championships in the next couple of weeks.”
