How the Georgetown Lacrosse Defense shut down the #1 Team

Freshman defenseman Ty Banks held All-American attackman and 2-time Tewaaraton Award finalist Pat Kavanagh without a goal until the final minute of regulation in Georgetown's stunning upset over No. 1 Notre Dame. This video highlights Banks' performance in what may go down as the Upset of the Year in College Lacrosse.

Is Notre Dame's run over, or will they bounce back from this loss?

[@nateduffy2872]

I think Coach Kevin and their talent alone will get them back and they’re a top4 team come may

[@snowman1588]

Of course ND is gonna bounce back. This serves as an important lesson down the road. Not going for high percentage shots is what cost them. Specifically that behind the back at the end of the game. But at that speed it’s incredible.

[@UncleTizzy]

You’re fishing hard.. its early season loss after winning national champs they will be okay 😅

[@DeathofaNote]

More film breakdowns please these are awesome

[@carterpooler37]

Unranked coming into the matchup??? They are ranked #19 right on the screen🤨

[@Soupy_loopy]

LOL, I know right! They had to change the name of this video like 2 times, I think.

[@lax_nuggets_.]

Fr they weren't unranked

[@snowman1588]

Ty Banks If I got that correctly holy shit! Just stared down one of the best in the country and bottled him up! That was beautiful picture perfect defense. I don’t care if it’s the upset of the year you guys have done a great job of grabbing my attention all year with worthy headlines and highlights. It fires me up and makes me want to play again. But not about me these guys deserve recognition.

[@Soupy_loopy]

Kind of early to call this the upset of the year. College lacrosse rankings make no sense anyways.

[@IanRose]

They just mean so far

[@Soupy_loopy]

@IanRose what about when Loyola beat Georgetown? Isn't that the main reason why this was such a surprising upset to begin with? Besides, Notre Dame hasn't really done much this year, so who knows.

[@JackSmith-yd7bm]

An unranked team beat the #1 team, that’s a massive upset.

[@Soupy_loopy]

@JackSmith-yd7bm they didn't start unranked, and they won't finish unranked. But if it was such a big deal, why is Notre Dame still ranked so good? Syracuse lost 2 games in overtime to top 5 teams, and I bet Cuse won't be in the top 10 next week. But that's what you get for having a tough schedule.

[@tannerw603]

⁠@@Soupy_loopyu have to genuinely try hard to be this idiotic, notre dame r the reigning national champs with a tewaaraton finalist

[@davidlovesrunning]

ty banks 🔥

[@dougmphilly]

last hoya canuck pole that stoked me was brodie merrill.

[@littledorrit6819]

Georgetown got off to a terribly slow start last year too. I'm a Hoya. This isn't a miraculous win.

[@DaveVoyles]

He plays just like Chris Fake (Yale, Notre Dam grad student last year).

[@dougmphilly]

coq pipeline didn't go to drexel :( kid slipped those picks like he played box.

[@talanlewis8558]

Ty banks will be the best defensive player in the world someday

[@christianbrunso9824]

Kid is a dawg

[@Mungkee97]

Lock down defense is so scarce in todays game this is sick

[@JohnBlahman]

You heard it here first, Uganda will win its first game at the next lacrosse world championship

[@19jc80]

Great game by Georgetown, but it's just poking the bear.

[@rburkoutdoors247]

You say they’re unranked yet it shows they’re #19 on the screen???

[@prestonheeb]

"unranked" cmon now its george town... cant count those boys out

[@brutewarrior]

Dude #12 on Georgetown is ridiculous

[@tigertalkk]

Crazy how Hopkins rolled past g town 2 years in a row

[@cghdlp]

Love this content, great analysis!

Agreed, I think they will repeat this and lose again to Maryland

[@feelingtardy]

hard to tell how good many of these highly ranked teams are early in the season. ND played a couple tomato cans before georgetown. the rest of their schedule will tell the story
