If the Irish can continue to build off their early season momentum, they undoubtedly have the ability to go farther in the NCAA tournament than last year.

No. 9 Notre Dame will travel to Storrs, Connecticut on Friday to take on UConn in the team’s first road match of the season.

No. 1 Notre Dame has posted its most dominant start to a season since 2012. Even though Notre Dame’s perfect record through six games is its best in half a decade, this team is not unfamiliar with strong starts. In each of the last four seasons, the Irish (6-0-0) has won at least three games through five, and

The Irish looked impenetrable defensively to start the season,
