Irish pull off miracle, win national championship

Elizabeth Greason | Friday, May 18, 2018

It started out as unlikely. Then it became improbable. And it began to look impossible. And soon the idea that Notre Dame could win, or even compete for a national championship became outrageous for much of the world. And then the Irish (35-3, 15-1 ACC) pulled off a miracle. Notre Dame’s season was a narrative

Charlotte Edmonds | Friday, May 18, 2018

Winning one national championship is difficult enough. Two-straight moves you into elite company.

‘The glue’ of the team, Kathryn Westbeld leads by example and wins a national title

Elizabeth Greason | Friday, May 18, 2018

The first time Kathryn Westbeld donned her No. 33 jersey and tied her hair up in its now-signature top-knot to take to court at Purcell Pavilion, her attitude was one of pride and excitement for what was to come.

Connor Mulvena | Friday, May 18, 2018

Any program looking to break through the top ranks and solidify itself as a force to be reckoned with needs key pieces. It needs a core group of leaders to elevate the team from a good program to a national powerhouse. For Notre Dame, Jake Evans was that guy. In Evans’ four-year tenure at Notre

Irish reload and return to Frozen Four

Tobias Hoonhout | Friday, May 18, 2018

After losing their two most important players from last year’s Frozen Four run and joining the Big Ten, the Irish had plenty of question marks entering the season.

ND struggles to overcome injuries in ACC play, falls in NIT

Charlotte Edmonds | Friday, May 18, 2018

Entering the season with top-15 expectations, Notre Dame was plagued with injuries and a tough conference schedule that resulted in a second-round exit from the NIT tournament. The campaign could be likened to working on a puzzle in which, just when you found one piece, you lost another. However, a season that fell short of

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record.
