(Inside Lacrosse Photo: Chris McNulty)Syracuse won the game. And they won the fight. The No. 7 Orange beat No. 5 Notre Dame, 14-9, in front of 11,268 fans inside the JMA Wireless Dome. It’s the biggest men’s lacrosse crowd of the season and the biggest men’s lacrosse crowd in the Dome since 2015. The win snapped Notre Dame’s seven-game win streak over ’Cuse, which featured Irish wins of 20-12, 18-11 and 18-11 in Central New York.

(Photo Courtesy of Rutgers Athletics)Rutgers has known all year what it could do. Now everyone else does. The Scarlet Knights toppled No. 2 Maryland, 8-6, Saturday in front of 2,939 fans inside SHI Stadium. It was the highest-ranked win in program history and the first time they beat Maryland in Big Ten play. They beat the Terps once in 38 prior attempts, last winning in 1980. Goalie Cardin Stoller played a masterful game.

(Photo courtesy of Yale Lacrosse on X)It would appear men's DI lacrosse is in a bit of a see-saw pattern as the drama of two week ago swung back, making last week's tame (by comparison) results feel like a thing of the past.

The power of the lacrosse community was on display Saturday when the 18th-ranked Dartmouth men’s lacrosse team hosted No. 4 Princeton. On the field, it proved to be a tremendous game — with the Tigers winning a tight 11-8 final. Off the field, the game meant more; it was an Autism Awareness game, and day, as the Dartmouth women also took part for their game against Cornell. The cause is especially meaningful for Dartmouth men’s head coach Sean Kirwan.

(Inside Lacrosse Photo: John O'Donnell)As we head into the month of April, Inside Lacrosse has released its first Bracketology presented by Get Reps. Based upon RPI and Strength of Schedule, I wasn’t surprised at the top four (Princeton, Maryland, Notre Dame and North Carolina), but it was something to see the nation’s No. 1 team, Cornell, as IL’s seventh best resume and the current third-ranked team, Ohio State, on the outside of the bubble.

(Inside Lacrosse Photo: Dave Anderson)There are no more undefeated teams in men’s DI lacrosse. Stony Brook upended No. 12 Fairfield, 17-16, giving the Stags their first loss in an historic season. There were big, key results, on Saturday, but it lacked the chaotic madness of last week. No. 1 Cornell cruised against Penn, Notre Dame proved why it is the back-to-back defending champion, and Michigan is amid its annual late-season renaissance. Check out the full IL Scoreboard.

(Inside Lacrosse Photo James Beaver)PHILADELPHIA — The harder it is, the tougher UMass gets. The Minutemen earned a tough, blue-collar A-10 win on the road Saturday against No. 16 Saint Joseph’s, 11-9. UMass face-off specialist TJ Casey won 14-of-17 face-offs, freshman goalie Owen Salanger was huge down the stretch and made 13 saves, and it took everyone in a balanced and physical win at unfriendly Hawk Hill. FINAL: @UMassMLacrosse 11, @SJUHawks_MLax 10 A hard-fought, blue-collar win for UMass.

(Inside Lacrosse Photo: Shaffer Broughton)CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — As a Syracuse defender was being treated on the field for a mild injury early in the fourth quarter, starting midfielder Sam English figured it was as good a time as any to put the aluminum bench on his team’s sideline to use. On a sunny, 80-degree day, before a crowd of 3,500, English sat down for a few minutes. It was about the only time all game he stopped moving.
