BUFFALO, N.Y. — Irish head coach Mike Brey told reporters that he prepared two speeches on the bus ride over to KeyBank Arena: one if Notre dame won, and another if Notre Dame lost. In the final minute of Notre Dame’s matchup against Princeton (23-7, 16-0 Ivy League), it looked like Brey would be forced

BUFFALO, N.Y. — That certainly wasn’t pretty. But hey, it’s March. We’re all familiar with the “survive and advance” cliche and, in many cases, its use is a little annoying. With this Notre Dame squad, though, it’s probably pretty apt. Of course, any coach would’ve preferred a nice, comfortable 15-point win to the 60-58 one

The Irish are Buffalo bound. Notre Dame (25-9, 12-6 ACC) found out its tournament fate Sunday evening when the NCAA selection committee awarded the Irish the No. 5 seed in the West region. The Irish play their first game at 12:15 p.m. Thursday against Princeton, the region’s No. 12 seed, in Buffalo, New York. The Tigers

Notre Dame began its season with a pair of four-win weekends, as both the men’s and women’s team worked their way to a 4-1 record at the Elite Invitational this past Saturday. In a full day of duals at Penn’s Dave Micahnik Fencing Center, the combined Irish program squared off against seven teams. The men’s

If one could only use a single word to describe No. 4 Notre Dame’s offensive unit, “prolific” might be a good choice. Among teams that have taken the field more than once this season, the Irish lead the country with 16 goals per game and feature the country’s leading goal-scorer, junior attack Cortney Fortunato. And while Fortunato’s 19

Notre Dame opened the season strong with a solid weekend of competition, as both the men and women were victorious at the Buckeye Elite Cup in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday. The weekend technically began on Friday with a home exhibition against Northwestern, which the Irish won, 60-45. But Irish coach Gia Kvaratskhelia said the team focused on

The Irish split their weekend between Olympia Fields, Illinois, and the Farnsworth Ivy Invitational in Princeton, New Jersey. On the final day of the invitational, Monaghan teamed up
