The Notre Dame Fighting Irish lacrosse team wants the 2026 campaign to be a return to greatness for the program. On Tuesday, the team demonstrated how dedicated it is to that return as it set a school record for goals in its 29-10 win over Bellarmine. The previous record for goals in a game stood for nearly 43 years, as the Irish scored 28 goals against Mount Union on April 9, 1983.
While it was a great day for the lacrosse program on the whole, it was also a heck of a day for several individual Notre Dame players. Brock Behrman's game-high seven points allowed him to set a career high in goals (4) and assists (3). Will Maheras and Jalen Seymour also recorded the first hat tricks of their careers, each totaling three goals on the afternoon.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are now 2-0 on the season and will next take on Georgetown on February 22 at 12:30 pm.
