No. 11 Irish look to overturn No. 1 FSU in big-time showdown

Coming off a perfect three-match homestand, No. 11 Notre Dame women’s soccer now has a big-time showdown against No. 1 Florida State on their horizons for Thursday, Oct. 12. With unfinished business from last year and a sibling rivalry between graduate student midfielder Kiki Van Zanten and her sister, Seminoles freshman Mimi Van Zanten, the game will be a contentious matchup under the lights.

Observer on the Ground: Louisville

Our experience in Louisville was certainly one for the books, but not necessarily the good ones. We started our day off strong with a four-hour road trip from South Bend — one that was filled with an extensive country playlist, impassioned debates on New Jersey/New York sports teams and musings on what the night would bring. By the time we got to our hotel it was mid-afternoon, and I certainly was tempted to hop on over to the amusement park next door to get in a rollercoaster ride or two before the game (this, sadly, did not come to fruition).

Key moments from Notre Dame's 33-20 loss against Louisville

Notre Dame’s first drive was abruptly cut short by an interception, reversing any gains had by the dynamic duo of graduate student quarterback Sam Hartman and junior tight end Mitchell Evans. Evans, who wound up being Notre Dame’s leading receiver on the night with 71 yards, had just given the Irish a first down on the preceding play. The next time Notre Dame's offense took the field, the Cardinals had scored and the team already had to play catch-up. After overshooting a pass to freshman wide receiver Rico Flores Jr., Hartman was sacked for a loss of seven, ending the drive and squandering a chance to respond by forcing a punt.
