Big Ten Hoops Star Transfers to Notre Dame

It finally became official this afternoon -- when Notre Dame sent out the release below...

6'- 4" sophomore center Jessica Shepard, a one-time Big Ten Rookie of the Year -- is now officially enrolled at Notre Dame.  Shepard, who will have to sit out the upcoming season, will have two years of eligibility left with Muffet's Fighting Irish.

Shepard had a 35 point / 20 rebound game during her freshman season with the Cornhuskers. She averaged 18 points and 9 boards a game her sophomore season.

Jessica was the consensus #3 ranked player in the country -- in the recruiting class that landed Notre Dame Arike Ogunbowale and Marina Mabrey.  A great get for ND!

Domer Mancini's Big Night for the Orioles!

Former Notre Dame baseball star Trey Mancini -- did something no one has ever done in an Oriole uniform last night...

He's the first in franchise history to hit a game tying home run as a pinch hitter -- and then follow it up with a game winning home run in the next at bat.

What a night for the rookie!
