Irish Named No. 4 Seed in NCAA Tournament

INDIANAPOLIS – Notre Dame women’s soccer is no stranger to the NCAA Tournament. On Monday, they qualified for the 30th time over the last 32 years. It was only a matter of what seed and who was up first. The NCAA answered both, naming the Fighting Irish (11-3-4) a No. 4 seed in the bottom-right quadrant. 

Since Notre Dame is a seeded team, they earned the ability to host their First Round matchup, welcoming in Horizon League Champion Milwaukee (12-6-2) on Friday, November 15. That match will kick off inside Alumni Stadium at 7 p.m. ET. 

Tickets will go on sale on Tuesday morning (Nov. 12) at 10 a.m. ET. 

Notre Dame’s NCAA Tournament record sits at 74-25-4. They are tied for the third-most victories with UCLA, ranking only behind Florida State and North Carolina. 

The Irish are an impressive 51-4-1 at home in the NCAA Tournament. 

Notre Dame achieved an 11-3-4 record during the regular season and did not lose to an unranked foe. The Irish also finished sixth in the ACC with a 5-1-4 mark. A total of nine ACC squads qualified for the NCAA Tournament. 

Notre Dame’s resume included an RPI rank of 12th in the country. They went 4-3-1 against ranked opposition.
