Notre Dame landed in the middle of the pack in its first tournament of the fall season on Monday and Tuesday, finishing seventh overall among a 15-team field at the Minnesota Invitational in Woodbury, Minnesota.

Olivia Wingate has burst onto the scene as an integral part of the No. 17 Notre Dame (4-2) offense. The freshman forward has already found the back of the net twice, making her tied for first among Irish goalscorers. Both of those goals have come in the last three games. Wingate has also fired off

The senior Irish golfer tied for first place at the Bettie Lou Evans Invitational at the University of Kentucky, shooting 211 through 54 holes — the best individual mark in tournament history.

It’s fair to say that I’m not among the closest followers of the NFL. Last year’s regular season came and went without me paying much notice, and it wasn’t really until the month of February that I had much of a rooting interest for any particular team. On a completely unrelated note, I happen to
