The No. 19 Notre Dame men’s soccer team captured a 2-1 victory over Green Bay in the first round of the NCAA Championship on Thursday evening at Alumni Stadium. The Fighting Irish used goals from Bright Dike and Jeb Brovsky to post the win and advance to play at Northwestern on Sunday in the second round.
The entertaining match went down to the final seconds as Notre Dame senior goalkeeper Andrew Quinn saved a header attempt from Green Bay’s Tony Patterson with three seconds left in the contest.
“They (Green Bay) kept at us right up until the final seconds of the game,” said Notre Dame head coach Bobby Clark. “It was an exciting game. This is the great thing with the NCAA (Tournament). If you lose, you go home. It’s sad for the team that goes home, but it makes it very exciting. There’s no safety net of having another game guaranteed. It’s all or nothing.”
Notre Dame will face Northwestern on Sunday, Nov. 22 in the second round of the NCAA Championship. Game time is slated for 2:00 p.m. Northwestern is the No. 9 seed in the tournament, while the Irish are not seeded. The Wildcats topped the Irish, 2-1, in the second round of last season’s NCAA Tournament.
