Many Eastern teams discounted the Irish heavily last year. Look at how Loyola's Cottle and his middies were shocked. ND played well against the Hop in the quarter match but a 3rd quarter explosion and Testa's glue on Glatzel left it up to Ulrich to carry the team. he could not. This year the 3 BL boys are spreading it around more than ever. they also have a good supporting staff of middies and attackmen who are all underclassmen.
Kevin Corrigan is on the verge of greatnesss this year. I say the Irish make it to the semis and then their luck runs out on national TV, but it becomes a building block in the future as Athletic Director Kevin White has promised the laxers the full 12.6 scholarships for the team. I cant wait. watch out Cottle, Horsey, Goettleman and the gang!
