Nearly three months after their regular season started, Notre Dame (14-12-2, 12-10-2-1-2-2) finished it in style.

Two weeks after being shut out in consecutive games, the Irish (12-12-2, 9-10-2-1-2-2 Big Ten) were able to return the favor.

The good news for the Irish (10-11-1, 8-9-1-1-2-1 Big 10) is that they are due for some goals this weekend. The bad news is that feeling is the result of consecutive 3-0 losses to the Minnesota Golden Gophers last weekend. After scoring 14 goals against Ohio State the weekend prior, the Irish peppered Minnesota goalie
