An ACC Championship "Turned on an Ankle..."


Notre Dame led 58 - 55 (with 8 minutes left ) when Bonzie Colson twisted an ankle and left the game...

He only scored 3 points and grabbed one rebound the rest of the way.  He had 26 points and 8 boards over the first 32 minutes of the game.

We were so close...

Notre Dame Hockey's -- Last Hockey East Run!



The hottest team in college hockey right now -- your Fighting Irish!

Notre Dame is 7 - 1 - 1 in their last nine games after this weekend's sweep over 10th ranked Providence in the Hockey East Quarterfinals!

The Irish move on to Boston's TD Gardens Friday night to play a "team to be named later today."

It all hinges on the outcome of today's UMass Lowell vs. New Hampshire game. Hockey East will re-seed the final four teams prior to Friday night's games:
  • If UMass Lowell wins -- the Irish will play them.
  • If New Hampshire wins -- the Irish will play Boston College.

This is Notre Dame's "swan-song" with Hockey East -- as we move on to the Big Ten (that is not a typo) to play hockey next year.  It should be noted, the Fighting Irish won the CCHA tournament in the last year we played in that hockey conference.

Stay tuned!
