How It Happened

• Notre Dame (14-1) took the early lead, scoring on its first possession just 53 seconds into the game. As both teams settled in, the Fighting Irish added goals at the 7:34 and 6:41 marks to lead 3-1 before Schubert's goal pulled the Hoyas within two at the end of the first quarter.
• A slow start to the second period had ND lead 4-1 at the 10:43 mark before Carroll responded with just under six minutes to go in the half to pull back with two, down 4-2. The Irish took control from there, scoring three goals in the final 3:38, including one with seven seconds remaining, to take a 7-2 advantage going into the break.
• Coming out of the locker room, the Hoyas struck first with a Vardaro goal 44 seconds into the half. Notre Dame answered right back 49 seconds later before GU made it 8-4 at the 9:52 mark courtesy of Llewellyn's goal. Like the end of the second quarter, the Irish had a late scoring spurt and netted three goals in the final four minutes of the quarter to lead 11-4.
• In the fourth, both sides traded goals throughout the frame before a late rally from the Hoyas put them in striking distance. Georgetown scored four of the final five goals in the game as Bundy posted all five goals in the fourth quarter but it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit.
