Tewaaraton Award finalist Jackie Wolak accounted for 11 points and seventh-seeded Notre Dame overwhelmed visiting Coastal Carolina, 24-6, Friday in an NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Tournament first-round matchup at Arlotta Stadium.
The Irish (16-3) set program records for most goals and largest margin of victory in an NCAA Tourney game, and advance to a Sweet 16 matchup Sunday at home (noon EDT) against the winner of Friday’s second Arlotta Stadium matchup — Michigan (15-3), which beat Mercer 17-6.
Wolak amassed a school-record nine assists and scored two goals as the Irish took a 9-0 lead after one period and never let up against the Chanticleers (14-6) in the 300th all-time victory in the history of the Irish program.
Kasey Choma and Arden Tierney scored five goals apiece. Madison Ahern had four goals and Kathryn Morrisey three. Ten different Irish played scored in all.
Lilly Callahan recorded six saves and gave up four goals before being replaced by Isabel Pithie with less than eight minutes remaining in the game.
