Peters: We’re witnessing a golden age of Notre Dame athletics

Ryan Peters | Tuesday, May 30, 2023

As one of the traditional football powers, Notre Dame athletics face a high level of scrutiny. Thus, given some academic, geographic and institutional restraints, fans find a lot to complain about when it comes to recruiting and other competitive disadvantages relative to the massive state school powerhouses.  But when you think about what Notre Dame

Notre Dame women’s basketball battles adversity to end injury-plagued season with hardware

J.J. Post | Friday, May 19, 2023

For the first few months of the season, it was very reasonable to consider Notre Dame women’s basketball a Final Four contender.  The Irish started the season 18-2, with a number of impressive benchmarks along the way. Niele Ivey’s squad handled perennial powerhouse UConn at Purcell Pavillion — not just beating the Huskies, but doing

Andrew McGuinness | Monday, May 1, 2023

It’s been a long, great year of Notre Dame sports. So much has happened since we all arrived on campus back in August. Here at The Observer, we covered it all. And though I’m definitely a bit biased, I feel confident in saying we covered it pretty well. There will be more to come as

Irish to face Gamecocks in Paris to begin 2023-24 season

Observer Sports Staff | Thursday, April 13, 2023

While many college basketball teams begin their seasons with a slate of home games against mid-major, unformidable opponents, Notre Dame women’s basketball will change things up to begin its 2023-24 campaign. The Irish traveled to St. Louis to take on Cal in the first-ever Citi Shamrock Classic. Playing in head coach Niele Ivey’s hometown, the

Citron steps into leadership role as Irish make tournament run

Liam Coolican | Friday, March 24, 2023

When All-American guard Olivia Miles went down with a knee injury Feb. 26, many thought Notre Dame’s dreams of a deep tournament run were all but over. The Irish were already missing sharpshooting graduate guard Dara Mabrey, who suffered a torn ACL in Jan., and it was clear in their blowout loss to Louisville in

Irish ready for high-stakes rematch against Maryland in Sweet 16

Andrew McGuinness | Friday, March 24, 2023

Notre Dame had not only just knocked off Mississippi State in a 53-48 nail-biter to reach their second straight Sweet 16, but also chalked up yet another victory at Purcell Pavilion. Winning in South Bend has almost felt like a guarantee ever since

One convincing, one close victory bring Irish to Sweet 16

Andrew McGuinness | Tuesday, March 21, 2023

One year ago, Notre Dame women’s basketball suffered a heartbreaking loss in the Sweet 16. The Irish literally and figuratively threw away their chances at reaching the Elite Eight with a last-second turnover that sealed a 66-63 loss to North Carolina State. It was the type of loss that sits with a team long after

Coleman: Eternally Irish — My love letter to Muffet and Niele

Genevieve Coleman | Friday, March 3, 2023

For as long as I can remember, I have been a Notre Dame fan. That’s just part of being from South Bend. My grandparents gave me Notre Dame onesies when I was a baby. At one point, I remember having a navy and gold cheer skirt when I was a toddler. As a child, I

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
