Liam Entenmann made a season-high 18 saves.
PHILADELPHIA -- Liam Entenmann made a season-high 18 saves and Brian Tevlin scored a go-ahead goal with 27 seconds left in the third quarter to help Notre Dame claim its first men's lacrosse national title with a 13-9 victory over Duke on Monday.
Entenmann made eight saves on nine shots on goal in the first half as Notre Dame cruised to a 6-1 lead after scoring six unanswered goals -- from six different players. After scoring 35 seconds into the game, Duke was held scoreless for the final 29:25 of the first half. But Notre Dame scored two goals in the final 30 seconds of the third for a 9-7 lead. Tevlin, who helped Yake win the 2018 NCAA title over Duke, and Chris Kavanagh both notched their second goals of the game.
"I'm not sure I want to watch the film of this one, other than maybe the defense from the first half," Notre Dame coach Kevin Corrigan said."You wait your whole career to see this right now."
