No. 5 Notre Dame notched a season-high 37 fast-break points and used a dominant offensive showing in the third quarter to top No. 9 North Carolina State 95-72 and launch itself back to the top of the ACC standings Monday night. The win in Reynolds Coliseum — as NC State recognized former head coach Kay

Notre Dame dropped its road series over the weekend to No. 4 North Carolina State, as the Irish won the first game of the series Friday but fell in both games of their doubleheader against the Wolfpack on Saturday. North Carolina State (28-7, 13-5 ACC) got off to a quick start Friday, getting on the

Notre Dame was unable to come up with a win this weekend against No. 1 North Carolina and North Carolina State. The Tar Heels (20-2, 9-1 ACC) cruised to a 6-1 win over the Irish (10-10, 2-8) on Friday before Notre Dame fought hard but fell short in a 4-3 loss to N.C. State (12-11, 5-5)

Notre Dame’s No. 5 ranked women’s basketball team wrapped up regular season play with a dominant 86-67 win over No. 21 North Carolina State. The Irish (27-2, 15-1 ACC) used a big second half to seal the deal against the Wolfpack (22-7, 11-5 ACC) and clinch a share of the ACC regular season championship with Louisville

The play looked all too familiar to anyone who has followed the Irish this season. Junior quarterback Brandon Wimbush took the snap out of the shotgun and turned to his left, handing the ball to junior running back Josh Adams up the middle. Most teams might be happy to get four yards on a run

On one end of the field, top-seeded Notre Dame’s defense did in its ACC tournament opener against eighth-seeded North Carolina State what it did time and again in the regular season: limit chances, trust senior goalkeeper Kaela Little to handle the threats on goal she faced and come away with another clean sheet at Alumni Stadium. At

RALEIGH, N.C. — Coaches and analysts love to discuss the importance of special teams. But it’s rare that the units have more of a direct impact on a game than Notre Dame and North Carolina State’s did Saturday at Carter-Finley Stadium. Amidst heavy rain and high winds that lasted the entire game, played on the edges of

RALEIGH, N.C. — I’m really not sure there’s a way to properly describe the asininity of Saturday’s game. If you simply played the principal’s response to Billy Madison — you know, the “I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul” one — it would probably do a better job than this column

Amidst a sea of instability and struggles for the Irish defense this year, one man has stood out. Starters have come and gone in the secondary, new faces have been integrated into the scheme and, perhaps most notably, a defensive coordinator, Brian VanGorder, has been fired. Yet where others haven’t lived up to preseason expectations,
