Irish Laxers Set For Sunday Re-Match with UNC

May 21, 2016 by Jimmy Grant

The #5 Notre Dame men's lacrosse team will play #12 North Carolina in the NCAA quarterfinals Sunday after a dominating performance last weekend. The Irish beat the #13 Air Force Falcons, 15-7, after surging to a five-goal halftime lead. The men's team had squandered fourth-quarter leads against North Carolina and Duke before the tournament began. But that was not a concern last Saturday, as the Irish cruised to easy victory.

No Time To Re-Lax

May 9, 2016 by Jimmy Grant

In a season full of way more ups than downs, one has to wonder what to make of the Fighting Irish Lacrosse team as NCAA Tournament play looms. This was a team that during the regular season held the #1 ranking at one point, handed perennial power house Syracuse its worst home defeat in 29 years, and handily defeated current #1 and tournament favorite Maryland 9-4.

Good Fridays w/Padre: NDowment

March 11, 2016 by Father Sorin

A generous fellow named Murphy has just endowed the men’s basketball coachship. This goes along with previous endowments for the women’s basketball coachship, the lacrosse coachship, and of course, the football coachship. The defensive backs coachship is also endowed, and even the athletic directorship. Some people think this is crass, that only professorships should be endowed. I don’t have any problem with setting money aside to pay coaches, since it frees up funds to be used elsewhere. But I ...

September 12, 2013 by Lisa

Where Are They Now? Tony Suber The paths to Our Lady’s University are as varied as the men and women who find their way there. Some of us made it there via family legacy; some of us as the result of a lifelong dream,and others because of the role models who surround us. Tony Suber’s path to Notre Dame followed that third road -- he saw men around him who he strived to become and they were the guiding force which drew him to Notre Dame. How does a minority student from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ...
