Dialed In: Your Lacrosse Fix for Wednesday, May 31

Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. A well-earned victory lap for the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team.

It included an appearance by the bruised and battered Kavanagh brothers on the Pat McAfee Show, where Pat Kavanagh showed just how gruesome his hamstring injury was.

Also making the rounds on social media:

Now this is how you celebrate a title.

Sean Meehan (who started the bagpiping tradition), Brian Tevlin, Ross Burgmaster, Thomas Magnier, and Mike Condon play the bagpipes and get a champagne shower at the @NDlacrosse post championship tailgate.
