Unlike the "luxury" of the train trip to Colorado in 1966, 1967's Spring Trip was made in the "vehicles" of lacrosse team members. The team managed to arrive at the same place at the same time (more or less) at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore on March 23. There was a Hopkins JV game scheduled for that day, but a steady rain forced cancellation. Notre Dame still ran a practice in the Hopkins gym and like true student athletes, spent the evening studying in the Hopkins library. After another off day, Notre Dame finally opened the '67 season against George Washington in Washington DC. The game, played on a field next to the Lincoln Memorial, was won by the Irish 12 to 1 with attackman Len Niessen collecting two assists. Annapolis and the US Naval Academy was next on the itinerary. The Navy varsity, led by All-American Jim Lewis, was ranked number one in the nation and considered to be outside the class of the Notre Dame club. However, the Irish matched up well with the Navy Plebes-- but the Plebes won the closely contested game 7 to 6. Back in Washington DC, the Irish had everything working against Georgetown, destroying the Hoyas 19 to 3. Bob Morin scored 5 goals, while Len Niessen had a career day with 3 goals and 4 assists. His seven points established a single game record for Notre Dame. Pete Metzger had 3 goals, crease-attack Rob Trost and Dan Brouder had two goals each, while Marty Stoehr, Bob Noonan, Brian Kelleher and Tim McHugh chipped in single goals. The rout over the Hoyas established Notre Dame records for goals in a game (19) and margin of victory (16). The final game of the trip saw the Irish top Holy Cross 10 to 5. Holy Cross, which had scouted the Georgetown romp on the previous day, decided to shadow Niessen following his big game. The move backfired, as the rest of the Irish offense found openings all day long.
Back at home, the Irish ran into three tough foes from Ohio, losing to Oberlin 8 to 3, to always tough Ohio State 8 to 6 and to Denison 10 to 2. The loss to the Buckeyes was a positive however, with the Irish throwing a scare into the top ranked team in the Midwest. Travelling to Athens, Ohio, the Irish put things together against outmanned Ohio University. Breaking the record for margin of victory, the Irish pounded OU 17 to 0. Dan Brouder set an ND record for goals with 6, while Len Niessen had a goal and 5 assists. The Irish then took on the Chicago Lacrosse Club in Evanston, Ill, coming out on the long end of a 6 to 4 score. Bob Morin again led the way with three goals while Len Niessen, Marty Stoehr and Duncan MacIntosh added one goal each. The Notre Dame stickmen closed out the season alternating losses and wins against Michigan State (L), Ohio Wesleyan (W), Bowling Green (L), Michigan State (W) and Chicago Lacrosse Club (L).
For the season, Notre Dame finished at 7 wins and 7 losses; Bob Morin set a school record for goals with 36, while Len Niessen broke Pete Sillari's record for assists with 23. Morin's trademark underhand shot was virtually unstoppable, rising as it came at the opposition's helpless goalie. Neil Short and Mike Roddy performed admirably in goal following the high standard set by Bill "the Camel" Joseph. Duncan MacIntosh, slowed by knee problems, was still a force at midfield. 1967 also saw the final games of several seniors, including face off specialist John Brandau, team leaders Dan Carson and Matt Dwyer, defensemen Hank Cluver and Bill Veno and attackman Larry Duke.
