Following a controversial Thanksgiving series with visiting North Dakota last week, the Irish are back in action Friday and Saturday with their hardest stretch of the season behind them. I think I talk about this every week, but Notre Dame just concluded an eleven-game streak against ranked opponents. After doing battle with Minnesota-Duluth, Northern Michigan,…

Notre Dame student-athletes work to be the best at everything they do. They work to be the best athletes. The work to be the best students. They work to be the best representatives of the University of Notre Dame. And they work to be the best people they can be. Some of the student-athletes work…

Earlier this week, the Notre Dame volleyball team gathered together as one team at Club Naimoli located within the confines of the Joyce Center, hoping their season could be extended at least for one more game.

You have to be a pretty talented athlete to compete for Notre Dame, so you probably wouldn’t be surprised to learn that sophomore cross country runner Megan Heeder followed up a 3200m state title as a high school junior, with a fourth place finish in the 1600m and a second place finish in the 3200m…

Although the battle of the NDs turned out to be a split series (1-1), the Fighting Irish definitely had the advantage. The Irish lost an absolute heartbreaker to North Dakota in the first game of the series where they had a goal called off on a very controversial call. Had the goal stood, it would…

The brooms and dust pans had to be pulled out at Yost Arena for the first time in 34 years this past weekend. The Fighting Irish pulled a remarkable feat of sweeping Michigan (a perennial powerhouse) in its home rink for the first time since 1978. Beating a team like Michigan is difficult enough, but…

A lot of cross-country teams talk about running as a pack – but not many stick this close together.

When I was younger, my mother tried to get me involved in fencing, but I guess it never stuck. But it’s an underrated sport that’s more complicated than two people poking each other with swords. The Notre Dame fencers understand that. Last night, the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) held an open-forum to educate all student-athletes…

Everyone knows that football is a big deal at Notre Dame, but it goes further than head coach Brian Kelly and his men in gold and blue. Men’s interhall tackle football is a chance for guys who either played high school football to put on their pads and helmets again and do what they love or…

Although the Irish have done it four straight times, they cannot be expected to beat a #1 ranked Boston College team every time they play them. There’s no denying it, the Irish have a very talented team this year, but Boston College has just as much fire power on its side. Couple a powerful BC…

It is that month of the year again. Put the razors away and hide the shaving cream. That’s right, we’re about a third of the way through No-Shave November.
