Aidan Thomas | Monday, February 6, 2023

On Friday evening, Saint Mary’s College hosted a National Girls and Women in Sports Day clinic. They welcomed about 125 girls, ages 6-12, from the South Bend community to participate in four 30-minute sessions with various Belles’ athletes. Athletes from all eight Saint Mary’s varsity teams spread out across the Angela Athletic Facility, providing a

A tale of two basketball games

Letter to the Editor | Friday, February 4, 2022

It’s been an exciting week for Fighting Irish basketball. After a few down seasons, Notre Dame welcomed a highly ranked conference opponent to Purcell Pavilion with an opportunity for a marquee win to put the program firmly back on the national map. The crowd was electric before tip-off and maintained that energy throughout a back-and-forth

It’s not a question of skill: sexism in female athletics

Jackie O'Brien | Monday, September 23, 2019

Last year, a six-year-old avid Notre Dame fan Amelia Joan Connolly wrote to The Observer to express her frustration that she could not buy a women’s basketball jersey in our University bookstore.

It’s time for women’s sports to receive the respect they deserve

Mia Berry | Wednesday, August 29, 2018

Earlier this week, my colleague Courtney Becker pointed out a minor slip from our fellow Observer sports writers in forgetting to mention the WNBA — or any other women’s sport for that matter — in their summer recaps. I applaud Courtney, but the fact that she had to remind them and a lot of sports

Becker: Don’t forget the WNBA

Courtney Becker | Monday, August 27, 2018

Something was missing from the Sports Authorities last week. With the first one, my colleague Tobias Hoonhout attempted to “update our readers, especially those who completely rely upon The Observer to inform them of the happenings in the real world of sports,” by writing a summer sports recap that touched on the World Cup, LeBron

Berry: Stop sleeping on women’s basketball

Mia Berry | Thursday, April 5, 2018

Three games. Two overtimes. Three buzzer beaters. Yet not nearly enough recognition nor media attention was given to arguably the greatest weekend in the history of the March Madness in either men’s or women’s basketball. Given the high level of play in the women’s Final Four, the media coverage and fan viewership should reflect numbers

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.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. 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.
