Ah yes, the Notre Dame introduction: Hi! My name is Alysa. I am studying history, and I am from Indianapolis, Ind. Then comes the question: “What is there to even do in Indianapolis?” Usually, I pivot quickly to attending the Indianapolis 500, the most well-known fact about my city and an event that brings thousands

My hometown’s almost daily forecast of constant sunshine and temperatures that fall on some scale of warm to “I am currently burning in my own skin” did not give me experience in navigating Midwestern weather. Even when it did rain back home in Tempe, Arizona, it was usually a comfortable sprinkle that lasted for no more

Following a draw in its season opener versus Saint Louis, No. 24 Notre Dame is set for a tough two-match road trip against No. 18 UConn and No. 22 Dartmouth. The Irish, who already have the toughest schedule in the country, will be in for quite the challenge given that they will face two of
