Last year, the Irish made history as the first team in program history to end the year with a losing record. Irish head coach Nate Norman and his squad came into this season more determined than ever to get back to their winning ways. This year’s Irish team came out with a full head of

Notre Dame rebounded from a tough loss at No. 3 North Carolina with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Syracuse back home at Alumni Stadium on Friday.

The Irish will look to bounce back from a rough 3-0 loss in Chapel Hill as they prepare to face the Orange this Friday at home. Notre Dame (7-4, 1-2 ACC) has only lost once in South Bend while only surrendering two goals in these home matches. Syracuse (2-6-2, 0-2-1 ACC) has gone winless on the road and has currently

In a battle of unbeatens, Notre Dame (6-1-0) suffered its first defeat of the 2019 season against No. 7 South Carolina (6-0-0) after a close and exciting encounter in the Palmetto state. The Irish were looking to end their three-game road trip with the program’s first road win versus top-10 opposition since 2008, when Notre

A year ago, the Notre Dame women’s soccer team featured an extremely young starting lineup, and their lack of experience was noticeable, especially on the road. After a 3-0 start, the women would win just five of their remaining 15 tilts. Their composure away from the friendly confines of Notre Dame was less than ideal,
