4/5 D-Fly & Dixie Podcast with Notre Dame’s Chris Kavanagh

Inside Lacrosse Podcasts

When the calendar turns to April, you start thinking about May. It’s not because you want to skip over April, it’s just that you to think about the postseason. Watercooler conversations change from hoops to lacrosse Bracketology and the RPI. Conference races and seeding are shaping up. All focus goes to your single opponent this coming weekend.
The weekend is finally here and D-Fly & Dixie are here to get you ready for a big weekend of action which includes a pair of Top 20 matchups on Saturday and the long-awaited rematch of last year’s title game when No. 1 Notre Dame travels to No. 3 Duke in the biggest game of the weekend.
This week the guys are joined by star Notre Dame attackman, Chris Kavanagh. The junior leads the Fighting Irish in scoring and talks to the guys about how hard it is to win a championship, the team mindset coming back in 2024, growing up Kavanagh, the uncanny success of the Irish EMO, the Notre Dame assistant coaches, the upcoming game against Duke and so much more.
