First quarter: Fighting Irish not missing a beat: ND 5, MD 3
The long-anticipated first quarter was worth the wait. The Terps managed a brief 2-0 lead before the Irish responded with a 5-1 blitz to go up 5-3. Still plenty of time for Maryland to answer.

Neck-and-Neck in the first 10 minutes: ND 3, MD 2
No shortage of action in the first ten minutes, with Notre Dame leveling the score and then claiming the go-ahead goal. Something tells me, the scoring is just getting started...

*After the 1990 championship, the NCAA Committee on Infractions determined that Paul Gait had played in the 1990 championship while ineligible. Under NCAA rules, Syracuse and Paul Gait's records for that championship were vacated. The NCAA does not recognize Syracuse and coach Roy Simmons Jr.'s 3-0 record, and Paul Gait's 7 goals, 7 assists and his participation in that championship.
