NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Tickets for Sunday's NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament first-round game between Notre Dame and Colgate are on sale through the Notre Dame ticket office. Prices are $5 for adults and $3 for college students and under, while children two years of age and under do not need a ticket.

The first 100 Notre Dame students will gain free admission into the contest.

The game is slated for a 12 noon (ET) start at Alumni Field on Sunday, May 11. This marks the first time that the Fighting Irish have ever hosted an NCAA Tournament game in men's lacrosse. Notre Dame (13-2) is seeded sixth, while Colgate (11-5) is unseeded and making its first NCAA appearance.
