Men's Lacrosse: Doyle shows glimpses of stardom as a freshman
Less than a year after the graduation of former Irish star-midfielder Zach Brenneman, freshman attack Conor Doyle has taken on the lofty challenge of filling his big shoes. Doyle, who wears Brenneman’s old number 28, said he is constantly reminded of who previously wore the jersey for No. 6 Notre Dame (6-1,1-0 Big East).
