Hoyas Knock off Top-Ranked Notre Dame in OT for Warne’s 100th Career Victory

WASHINGTON – Georgetown University's 19th-ranked men's lacrosse team defeated a nationally-ranked opponent for the second time in as many games, beating top-ranked and defending National Champion Notre Dame 11-10 in an overtime thriller in South Bend, Indiana on Sunday afternoon. The win gives Georgetown Head Coach Kevin Warne 100 victories for his career, making him just the 23rd active head coach to reach the mark at the NCAA Division I level.

  • Chase Llewellyn scored twice for the Hoyas while Patrick Crogan added a goal and an assist.
  • Alexander Vardaro and Cade Caggiano both found the back of the cage as well while Kade Goldberg notched an assist.
  • Defensively, Notre Dame's offense averaged 23 goals heading into Sunday's game and the GU defense held them to just 10.
  • Wesley Chairs was credited with a pair of Georgetown's six caused turnovers.
  • Freshman Ty Banks held All-American and two-time Tewaaraton Award finalist Pat Kavanagh scoreless through the first three quarters and to just one goal on 6v6 action the entire game.
  • In goal, Anderson Moore (2-2) had 11 saves in cage for the win.
How It Happened
  • A slow start saw Notre Dame (2-1) jump on the board first at the 8:44 mark before the Hoyas responded with three-straight goals to make it 3-1 at the end of the first quarter. Close the entire game, neither team would lead by more than two goal at any point in the action.
  • Back-to-back goals from the Fighting Irish evened things up at 3-3 in the second before Llewellyn's second goal of the game put the Blue & Gray up 4-3 at the half.
  • Coming out of the break, the Hoyas struck first before Notre Dame notched two goals in a 43 second span to knot things up at 5-5 with 8:54 to play in the frame. Both sides would trade goals to close out the stanza en route to a 5-5 draw heading in to the final 15 minutes of play.
  • The fourth quarter saw both teams take advantage of two-minute non-releasable penalties. Notre Dame scored three man-up goals in the fourth while the Hoyas answered back with a pair, including Carroll's second goal of the game at the 3:09 mark to put the Hoyas up 10-9. Notre Dame would net the game-tying goal with 39 ticks remaining in regulation, before Banks forced Kavanagh into a turnover following an Irish timeout on the final possession to push the game into overtime.
  • In the extra frame, ND won the faceoff and called timeout but the Georgetown defense held strong and culminated in a Moore save. Streaking down the field, the Hoyas did not call timeout to let Notre Dame regroup, allowing Carroll to roll behind the back of the cage and beat his man one-one-one to fire home the game-winner.

  • Jake Taylor led the Fighting Irish with two goals and an assist while Devon McLane and Jeffery Ricciardelli both had two goals.
  • Will Lynch won 15 of 22 faceoffs on the day and collected seven ground balls.
  • Defensively, Will Donovan was credited with four caused turnovers and hauled in five ground balls.
  • Liam Entenmann (2-1) collected eight saves between the pipes in the loss.
