Loyola has only lost one game all season -- and that was in overtime. But Notre Dame has played to its No. 4 seed, and after a victory over No. 5 Virginia, there’s no reason to believe the Fighting Irish can’t challenge the nation’s best team.
NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament 2012, Loyola Vs. Notre Dame: Game Time, TV Schedule And More
One-loss Loyola meets four-seed Notre Dame in one of two Final Four matchups Saturday afternoon.
Loyola might think there’s not much left in its path: the only loss on the season came against Johns Hopkins, but the Blue Jays were dispatched by an unseeded Maryland squad in the quarterfinals, and the only other team that has given the team any trouble -- Denver, who pushed the Greyhounds to overtime in the ECAC tournament -- lost to Loyola earlier in the tournament by one point. But Notre Dame provides an interesting matchup; the Golden Domers haven’t had a bad year either, only losing twice, both by only a single point.
