No. 20 Notre Dame took advantage of the opportunity to solidify its place near the top of the Hockey East standings this weekend, as it swept a two-game series against visiting Massachusetts, winning 3-1 Friday and 5-1 Saturday at Compton Family Ice Arena. The Irish offense came alive over the course of the two games, alongside two strong showings from sophomore

The Irish continue their Hockey East campaign this weekend as they host Massachusetts for a pair of conference games. This series will mark the first time the two conference foes have met since last year’s Hockey East tournament, when the Irish (6-4-4, 3-1-2 Hockey East) dropped the first game against the Minutemen (6-5-4, 2-2-4) in

Senior C.J. Prosise got the rushing attack rolling right away for No. 6 Notre Dame in its 62-27 rout of Massachusetts on Saturday, breaking the 100-yard mark before the first quarter and giving the Irish the lead with his 57-yard sprint to the end zone about nine minutes in. Unlike the last few games, though,

On the surface, Notre Dame defeated Massachusetts soundly Saturday, winning 62-27 and out-gaining the Minutemen 681 yards to 450. Those numbers, however, don’t tell the whole story. Notre Dame’s inconsistent play against Massachusetts was troublesome, not only because it was against a middling Mid-American Conference team but also because that’s become the norm for the

Before the 2015 season even started, senior defensive lineman Sheldon Day introduced the world to Terry Jillery. Never mind the fact there isn’t a player by that name on the Irish roster. “Yeah, they flipped the letters of my name,” freshman defensive lineman Jerry Tillery said during Sept. 8’s episode of Showtime’s ‘A Season With Notre Dame.’ “I

Through three games, Notre Dame’s special teams unit has put itself in the spotlight enough to last all of 2015. It started with an unsteady hold and near-fumble on a punt against Texas, then continued with a fake field goal and a missed chip shot at Virginia, and most recently manifested itself with an errant

Greg Hadley, Editor-in-Chief Nothing about this game will be close, except maybe the score. On paper, Notre Dame should blow out the Minutemen in one of the easiest wins of the Brian Kelly era. The talent gap between the two squads is almost embarrassing. DeShone Kizer is at home for his second start and should

MINUTEMEN PASSING The Minutemen’s best offensive weapon is graduate student quarterback Blake Frohnapfel. In two games this season, he has thrown 618 yards and four touchdowns. And that’s a continuation of last season, when he averaged 334.5 yards per game and tossed 23 scores in 10 games. The Minutemen rely on him heavily, with nearly

Though he didn’t see the field in last week’s win against Georgia Tech, junior safety Max Redfield should be ready to go for Saturday’s game against Massachusetts, Irish head coach Brian Kelly said in his Tuesday press conference. Redfield broke his thumb in the season opener against Texas and struggled with tackling with a cast
