Aidan Thomas | Wednesday, November 3, 2021

Notre Dame has a proud history in athletics. As we reflect on the 55-year anniversary of the Observer, virtually every sport could merit its own list of historical top 10 moments.

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.
