There was a live thread, but thought it should be noted to recap - Notre Dame lacrosse advanced to the NCAA semi's today after a 14-10 win over Albany.
Sophomore Sergio Perkovic scored five goals and dished one assist, and Conor Doyle accounted for four points via three goals and an assist.
"Today's game was terrific," ND head coach Kevin Corrigan told UND.com. "It was a fight. You make a couple plays; they make a couple plays. We go up four; they come roaring back with five. We struggled at times to be patient as much as we needed to be but that's partly a credit to them. They were pressing out on us. You look at our goals, there weren't alot of assisted goals because they weren't sliding around too much. And that was partly our patience as well."
Lyle Thompson for Albany is considered one of the best overall players nationally and maybe even once-a-generation type player, and finished his collegiate career today as the NCAA all-time leader in points. Notre Dame's defense held him to just one goal and four assists on the day.
The No. 1 seeded Irish will next take on No. 4 seeded Denver on Saturday, May 23.
