There hasn't been a three-peat in NCAA Division I men's lacrosse since 1996-98, when Princeton accomplished the feat.
Notre Dame has a chance to do so in 2025 despite a rocky season. The Fighting Irish are 8-4 with three regular-season losses and a loss in the ACC Tournament. The four losses this year are one more than the total losses the program had in the last two seasons.
Notre Dame enters the 2025 NCAA Tournament without a seed and will face off against No. 4 Ohio State in the first round. These two teams met once during the regular season with the Buckeyes winning 10-9 at Notre Dame.
This is a fresh slate for the Fighting Irish and Buckeyes. Ohio State enters with a 14-2 record and will host this game, but it doesn't have the championship experience that Notre Dame boasts.
What version of Notre Dame shows up for this matchup will likely determine the outcome.
