In the final home regular-season game of the 2024 season for the No. 1-ranked Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team, the Kavanagh brothers more than rose to the occasion.
Pat Kavanagh moved to within three points of moving to the top spot on the Irish career list, with two goals and four assists Saturday, as the Irish clinched at least a share of the ACC title with a 14-6 dismissal of North Carolina at Arlotta Stadium.
The grad senior is sitting at 270 career points.
Younger brother Chris added three goals and two assists, and Devon McLane complemented the Kavanaghs’ tour de force with a hat trick as the Irish (9-1, 3-0 ACC) extended their win streak to seven games — the program’s longest since 2012.
The Irish visit No. 4 Virginia next Saturday (2 p.m. EDT; ESPNU) before heading into the ACC Tournament as the No. 1 seed.
Goalie Liam Entenmann recorded 12 saves, and the Irish defense forced 10 turnovers.
Wide receiver Jordan Faison caught the end of the Blue-Gold Dame in person after scoring his 16th goal of the season. Former Irish and Alabama QB Tyler Buchner recorded his first collegiate assist on ND’s 14th and final goal of the game.
NOTRE DAME 14, NORTH CAROLINA 6: Box Score
