Baltimore, Md. – Senior attackman Tom Glatzel (Ellicott City, Md.) scored three of his game-high four goals in the first half and goalie Kirk Howell (Sr., Nashville, Tenn.) made 18 saves as the sixth-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish downed fifth-ranked Loyola, 10-7, at Loyola’s Curley Field.
The win improved the Irish to 5-0 on the season while Loyola falls to 3-1 on the season. This is the second time in the program’s history that Notre Dame has started the season, 5-0. The Irish have beaten four nationally-ranked teams this season, including two wins over top 10 teams this week (the Irish defeated seventh-ranked Virginia, 11-8, on Wednesday.)
After losing the first 10 meetings in the all-time series versus Loyola, Notre Dame has now won the last two contests after upsetting the Greyhounds, 15-13, in the first round of last season’s NCAA Tournament.
The Irish jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first 3:51 of the game as Glatzel scored twice (once with the extra-man) and Steve Bishko (Sr., West Islip, N.Y.) got his first of two goals on the afternoon. Loyola cut the lead to 3-2 after one period on goals by Chris Summers and Michael Sullivan.
In the second period, the Irish again scored the first three goals of the period as Glatzel got his second extra-man goal of the game at 14:17 and was followed by goals from Jon Harvey (Sr., Winchester, Mass) and Chris Young (Sr., Camillus, N.Y.). The Irish scored five extra-man goals in eight chances in the game.
The Greyhounds cut the lead to 6-3 at 6:39 of the second period before David Ulrich (Sr., Baltimore, Md.) scored his first of two goals to give Notre Dame a 7-3 halftime lead.
Loyola battled back in the second half scoring the first two goals of the half to cut the lead to 7-5 before Glatzel got his fourth goal of the game at 4:02 of the third period to give Notre Dame an 8-5 lead after three periods.
The Greyhounds got fourth quarter goals from Gavin Prout and Bobby Horsey to cut the Irish lead to 8-7 at the 10:02 mark. The Irish protected the one-goal lead until Bishko scored Notre Dame’s fifth extra-man goal of the game and Ulrich closed out the scoring with 33 seconds left for the 10-7 final.
Loyola outshot the Irish, 37-27, with Howell making 18 saves for the Irish while Loyola’s Jason Born made six in the game.
Notre Dame returns to action on Saturday, March 24 when the Irish travel to Hempstead, N.Y. to face Hofstra in a 1:00 p.m. game.
