Last Saturday Wynne did it again, notching six more goals (he had a hat trick before the first period was over) in a 14-5 victory by the top-rated Irish (3-0) over Detroit (0-3) in front of a packed crowd of 1,335 fans indoors at the Loftus Center. (The Notre Dame single-game record for goals is seven, last accomplished by current senior Matt Kavanagh in 2014.) Notre Dame junior Sergio Perkovic had four goals of his own to nearly match Wynne's pace. -- The visiting Titans notched the first goal of the game at the 13:51 mark--then it was all Irish from there. Notre Dame put the next seven goals on the board, three in a row by Wynne followed by tallies by freshman Drew Schantz, captain and All-American Kavanagh (he was back in the starting lineup after missing the Wednesday Irish win over Bellarmine), plus two by Perkovic. -- Perkovic finished off a hat trick of his own before halftime (the Irish led 8-2 at the break). Then he accounted for the first Notre Dame goal of the third period, meaning his four scores came in a 20:39 window. -- After Detroit stopped the bleeding with a goal in the final minute of the first half, the Irish reeled off six straight to seal the verdict. Wynne had three more goals after halftime (he also had an assist for a seven-point day and was an ultra-efficient six of seven shooting)-and he had help from freshman Brendan Gleason and Anthony Marini who both got their first tallies of the 2016 campaign.

4 -- Freshman Ryder Garnsey and Kavanagh had two assists apiece. Two of Notre Dame's final three goals came on extra-man chances. Detroit scored three times in the final period after Kevin Corrigan's Irish team had built the advantage to The Irish outshot Detroit 39-23, won 15 of 22 face-offs (nine of 14 by P.J. Finley and six of eight by John Travisano Jr.) and forced 23 Titan miscues. Notre Dame was successful on all 18 clearing attempts, while Detroit was only 12 of 20. Irish junior goaltender Shane Doss notched his third win with seven saves (and two goals allowed)-while sophomore Owen Molloy played the final 12:36 in the net in his first collegiate action.

HISTORIC TOP SEED IN 2015 Notre Dame earned the #1 seed in the 2015 NCAA Championship for the first time in school history. In 2013, the Irish garnered the tournament's #2 seed before falling to Duke in the quarterfinals. -- So 2015 marked the eighth time overall--and seventh time in the last eight campaigns--the Irish earned one of the eight national seeds for the NCAA Championship. The Irish also were seeded for the 2001 (5th), 2008 (6th), 2009 (7th), 2011 (4th), 2013 (2nd) and 2014 (6th) championships. -- All five teams from the ACC in 2015 were seeded--notre Dame (#1), Syracuse (#2), North Carolina (#3), Duke (#5) and Virginia (#7).

The 1992 Irish squad finished with a 7-1 home record.

9 -- Since 2006 (spanning nine seasons), Notre Dame has finished undefeated at home on five occasions. The Irish ended a perfect 6-0 at home during three consecutive seasons from The Irish are 2-0 so far at home in 2016 and will look for a third home victory March 13 versus defending NCAA champion Denver. PERKOVIC PERFORMANCE LATE IN 2015 NCAA MEN S LAX SEMIFINAL ONE FOR AGES It lasted maybe 10 minutes in real time, yet it likely goes down as the one of the most stunning individual performances in the history of college men s lacrosse. The official score sheet said Irish sophomore midfielder Sergio Perkovic scored five goals in Notre Dame s 2015 NCAA Men s Lacrosse Championship national semifinal game against Denver in Philadelphia. A close look at the scoring summary showed that all five goals came in the final period. An even closer inspection indicated that the five goals came over a span of 5:57 in clock time. That would be an amazing accomplishment by a team (especially at the NCAA national semifinal level, against a team that ultimately won the title), much less for an individual. -- The NCAA has no individual scoring-by-period records to prove it, but it s likely Perkovic did something never before accomplished in NCAA men s lacrosse history while depositing those five goals into the net. His scores came at 8:00, 4:40, 3:38, 3:01 and 2:03, so the last four came in a 2:37 span. ESPN analyst Quint Kessenich called Perkovic s performance versus Denver the top moment of the 2015 season. -- The NCAA record for most goals in the fourth period of a national semifinal game by an entire team is nine (accomplished twice). The NCAA Championship record for most individual goals in a single game is nine (also done twice), while the regular-season mark for individual goals in a game is Those five Perkovic goals tied the Notre Dame NCAA single-game mark for goals set in 2014 by Perkovic in the title game against Duke (also established by Matt Kavanagh in 2014 in the semifinals versus Maryland as well as by David Earl in 2010 and Randy Colley in 1995). In fact, Perkovic s late-game show against Denver brought back distinct memories of his 2014 title effort versus Duke when the then-freshman notched his five goals in a 24-minute span during the third and fourth periods. -- Perkovic s five goals against the Pioneers in 2015 tied for the seventh most productive output in a national semifinal game, while his five in the 2014 title game tied for the sixth most in a championship game. His five tallies against Denver marked a season high as well as his sixth game in 2015 with three or more goals. IRISH NCAA VICTORIES The 2015 Notre Dame NCAA Championship wins over Towson and Albany pushed the Irish NCAA victory total to 17. The only teams with more are Cornell, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Maryland, North Carolina, Princeton, Syracuse and Virginia. -- The Irish are 12-6 over the last six NCAA events combined ( ), including national semifinal appearances in 2012 and 2015 and title game appearances in 2010 and LOTS OF CLOSE NCAA CALLS Notre Dame s last six NCAA losses ( ) have come by a combined nine goals, including three two-goal losses and three one-goal defeats (two of those in overtime). -- Notre Dame played four one-goal games in 2015 (three overtime affairs), winning two of those (Syracuse in OT and North Carolina). The Irish played three other two-goal games (defeating Georgetown, Virginia and Towson). Both Notre Dame OT losses came against eventual national champion Denver. AGAINST RANKED OPPONENTS IN 2015 AND 2016 Each of Notre Dame s final 12 games in 2015 came against ranked opponents, including teams rated #1 (Syracuse), #2 (North Carolina), #3 (Denver in NCAA semifinal), #4 (at Denver in regular season), #6 (Albany in NCAA quarterfinal and Duke in ACC Tournament semifinal) and #7 (at Duke and at Virginia, both in regular season). -- The 12 straight games against ranked opponents qualified as a Notre Dame record, topping the previous record of eight straight to end the 2014 season. -- That streak moved to 13 with Notre Dame s 2016 opener against 13 th -rated Georgetown and then ended when the Irish defeated unranked Bellarmine. -- The remaining 2016 Notre Dame schedule features six teams currently ranked in the USILA poll (Feb. 29 edition): #1 Denver, #3 Syracuse, #4 Duke, #9(tie) Maryland, #9(tie) North Carolina, #17 Virginia and #19 Marquette.
