Notre Dame lacrosse coach Kevin Corrigan speaks ahead of NCAA opener
Two-time defending champion Notre Dame lacrosse coach Kevin Corrigan speaks ahead of 2025 NCAA Tournament opener at Ohio State.
Notre Dame lacrosse opened its quest for a three-peat in dominant fashion, and it got some revenge while doing so.
Behind another stellar outing by the duo of Chris Kavanagh and Jake Taylor, the 10th-ranked Fighting Irish knocked off No. 4 seed Ohio State 15-6 Saturday afternoon at OSU Lacrosse Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
With the win, Notre Dame advances to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Lacrosse Tournament for the third consecutive season under Kevin Corrigan. It is also the 13th appearance in the quarterfinals for the Irish in their last 14 trips to the NCAA Tournament.

"We did it in a lot of different ways," Corrigan told ESPN's broadcast on how Notre Dame was able to become just the second team this season to get 15 goals past Ohio State's defense. "From our 6-on-6, from transition, score on the man up, we really kind of found a lot of ways. That's what you have to do when facing an outstanding goaltender like that. It can't be one-trick ponies."
In Saturday's win, Kavanagh, the brother of former Notre Dame lacrosse star Pat Kavanagh, recorded his seventh hat-trick of the season. Thomas Ricciardelli outdueled Ohio State's Caleb Fyock in the crease, as the Notre Dame junior goalkeeper finished with a .714 save percentage and 15 saves on the day, compared to Fyock's .536 percentage and 15 saves.
Kavanagh and Brock Behrman each provided a dagger at the end for Notre Dame with a goal each at the 1:30 and 51-second mark of the fourth quarter. For Kavanagh, it was his 36th goal of the season. Notre Dame will now take a quick flight from South Bend to Annapolis, Maryland, to take on No. 5 seed Penn State on Sunday, May 18.

Ohio State Newly Predicted to Land Coveted Star
Ohio State Newly Predicted to Land Coveted Star originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Ohio State Buckeyes were previously predicted to make a big splash along the defensive line on the recruiting trail. On Tuesday, On3's Steve Wiltfong still projected that to happen. Advertisement Fellow On3's Chad Simmons also agreed. The official On3 Recruiting X account posted Tuesday that the latest predictions from both Wiltfong and Simmons have the Buckeyes landing a commitment from four-star defensive lineman Khary Wilder. "On3's Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons have logged expert predictions for Ohio State to land four-star DL Khary Wilder," wrote the account. That's the same prediction Wiltfong at the beginning of June. "Last week I wrote that I liked where Ohio State stood with touted defensive lineman Khary Wilder and have logged that On3 RPM as well," wrote Wiltfong. Ohio State Buckeyes football head coach Ryan Day© Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The Buckeyes appear to be gaining momentum on the recruiting trail again. On Sunday, Ohio State received a commitment from four-star running back Favour Akih. Advertisement In addition to where they are with Wilder, Wiltfong also sees the Buckeyes in a great spot to land four-star offensive lineman Drew Evers. Wilder is the No. 23 edge rusher and No. 24 California prospect in the 2026 recruiting class according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Based on the same ratings, Wilder is also a top 250 recruit, coming in at No. 242 overall. The Buckeyes have the fourth-rated recruiting class according to 247Sports. But Ohio State has yet to land a commitment from an edge rusher. Standing at 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, Wilder will play his senior year of high school at Junipero Serra in Gardena, California.

Ohio State lands commitment from four-star DE Khary Wilder
Editor's Note: This article first appeared on the leader in college football and basketball recruiting coverage. Be the first to know and follow your teams by signing up here. Khary Wilder had many other top programs pursuing him but after spending a weekend at Ohio State and talking through the plan with that exceptional coaching staff, the four-star defensive end found his new home. On Tuesday, the four-star defensive end from Gardena (Calif.) Serra committed to the Buckeyes and is not planning any other visits. 'It was just seeing how much of a priority I am for them,' Wilder said. 'Spending time with coach (Larry) Johnson and coach (Ryan) Day, coach (Matt) Patricia and all the coaches, they made me feel like a real priority and like I was really wanted there and that was the place I could call home. 'It was great meeting them. It was great sitting down and hearing their plan for me to dominate throughout my college years, how they see me fitting, my skill set and what I can work on and how I can build on my game to even before I get there and while I'm there, too. 'Coach Johnson was giving me tips and drills on what I could work on now for little things about my game that I could perfect and do better.' Wilder has always had dreams of playing in the pros and the four-star defensive end who shined at the Rivals Camp in Los Angeles and will be at the Rivals Five-Star in a couple weeks is fully aware of all the success the Buckeyes have had across the board especially along the defensive line. He wants to be the next one. 'The NFL has always been the goal, that's been my dream, so seeing coach Johnson and Ohio State's track record of producing top-level d-linemen and NFL defensive ends, just seeing that really motivates me and encourages me,' Wilder said. 'If I'm a priority for them and they want me to come and they see me fitting and playing in their system and they're putting out so many NFL guys at my position, that's one step closer to my dream.' Notre Dame, Washington and UCLA were the other frontrunners but once Wilder finished his Ohio State visit, he knew what he was going to do. 'It was really hard to say no to all of them because they all spent time building a great relationship with me, reaching out, talking to my coaches and my family and making me feel like a priority, too,' Wilder said. 'It was a decision I had to make but I feel very confident in my decision with coach Johnson and coach Day and coach Patricia and their plan for me.'
