Meghan Lange | Friday, April 28, 2023

Aidan Thomas | Wednesday, March 8, 2023

The NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament is generally less prone to upsets than the men’s tournament. But as the depth and talent in the field increase the parity of the event, upsets are beginning to happen with more frequency. Just last year, four teams sitting on the 11 and 12-seed lines won their opening game. Two

Creating tiers of ACC women’s soccer

J.J. Post | Wednesday, September 14, 2022

Through seven games of non-conference play, it would be difficult to call Notre Dame women’s soccer’s season anything but a roaring success.

Aidan Thomas | Friday, March 25, 2022

A week ago, the vibe was quite different surrounding the Notre Dame baseball team. The Irish were ranked No. 1 and riding a ten-game winning streak into an ACC series with Louisville. There, however, the Cardinals put the Irish on notice. A 12-1 record, which included seven wins against non-Power-5 competition didn’t win them any

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.

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.
