The vibes around Notre Dame baseball haven’t been this high in quite a while. Since completing a 10-game conference losing streak in the middle of April, the Irish have won five of their last six games in ACC play. They swept Boston College and most recently rallied for a dramatic series win against then-ranked No. 8 Wake Forest, getting a walk-off home run from senior center fielder T.J. Williams to end their nine-game homestand.

A difficult season for the Saint Mary’s lacrosse team reached its end on Saturday, as Hope sent the Belles back home with a 21-6 loss. With the result, Saint Mary’s ended the season on an 11-game winless streak, having recorded just one victory on Feb. 28. The Belles also went without a win in MIAA play, going 0-7 against league opponents.

On the east door of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the inscription reads, “Money, Power, Notre Dame.” This is the creed that the Notre Dame administration lives by and for. It is this Holy Trinity of “Money, Power, Notre Dame,” in which we students profess our faith at Sunday Basilica masses. Every spring, we come together as a global community and celebrate Notre Dame Day: a massive global crowdfunding campaign to worship money, power and most importantly, ourselves.

I was recently asked the question: “Why should I vote? It’s not like it matters anyway.” At first, I thought the answer was obvious. But upon further consideration, I realized that there was no simple, compelling reason I could give that would realistically change their mind. I needed time to collect my thoughts, develop an argument and plead my case. Well, here it is:

Summer is fast approaching, and with it, the summer blockbuster. Instead of the typical superhero IP schlock Hollywood usually serves up, they’ve decided to commence the season with “The Fall Guy.” Thanks to an early screening at the DPAC on Sunday, the Notre Dame community could see the film a week before its wide release. I attended the screening, and “The Fall Guy” is a more than worthy inauguration of the summer. It’s an electric, fun romp buoyed by fantastic chemistry between its two romantic leads.

This year’s Saint Mary’s College volleyball season will provide a stepping stone for the future. Hampered by a season-ending injury to All-MIAA senior outside hitter Colleen McCarthy, the young Belles captured a 6-14 record with a roster of mostly underclassmen.

I began my time writing for The Observer with NHL columns. So, as a graduating senior nearing the end of their run, I wanted to return to my roots one last time. Not only that, but I’m also running back one of my favorite stories, written last year — a ranking of the goal songs of every team in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

First, who is buying all the tents? They are likely just Amazon knock-offs, but they aren’t free. If students now have excess cash to buy tents, then why are all the loans needed?

If his 2023 MVP campaign hadn’t already done so, this season has solidified Joel Embiid as one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. He averages over one point per minute, a feat previously only achieved by Wilt Chamberlain, except Embiid does so on nearly half as many possessions. Before tearing his meniscus in February, Embiid scored 43% of his team's points, surpassing Michael Jordan’s 1987 season (42.4%) for the highest percentage ever seen. Since 2019, he’s scoring just under 30 points per game on 62% true shooting, and if he maintained that pace in the postseason, he’d be one of the best playoff scorers of all time.

I am disheartened to see the ongoing negative coverage of Saint Mary’s College by The Observer. As the President of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, founders and continuing sponsors of Saint Mary’s College, many of the statements that have been made in your pages about Saint Mary’s, its Board of Trustees, and administrative leadership are subjective judgments, misinformation, and certainly are no longer “news.”

When senior outfielder T.J. Williams connected with the first pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday, it would have been understandable if the 792 fans inside Frank Eck Stadium didn’t believe what they were seeing. Time and time again this season, the Irish have let winnable games slip through their fingers, especially against the premier teams in the ACC. The Irish entered the weekend 0-7 in conference games decided by two runs or fewer, then fell to 0-8 on Friday when a three-run eighth inning propelled No. 8 Wake Forest to a 4-3 win.

A lot of ingredients must come together for a conference championship — in any sport — to come to fruition. The feat requires regular-season success and good results in league standings. Consistent play from start to finish mixed with big wins here and there. And of course, a streak of unbeatable play in the postseason tournament. It’s a difficult formula that many teams go years — even decades — without uncovering.

The Notre Dame women’s lacrosse team can only hope someone else will defeat Boston College in this year’s NCAA Tournament. After a 9-7 loss to the Eagles in Friday’s ACC semifinals, the Irish have now seen four tournament runs end at the hands of Boston College in the last four seasons. Last year, the Eagles eliminated Notre Dame in both the ACC and NCAA Championships.
