In the first NCAA Division I men’s college hockey game of the season, Wisconsin defeated No. 20 Notre Dame 2-0 on Friday night at the Compton Family Ice Arena.

Wisconsin goaltender Robbie Beydoun earned the 25-save shutout, while Linus Weissback scored in the first and Dylan Halloway added a power-play tally in the second for the visitors.

The Fighting Irish had chances, including a pair of shots off the crossbar by freshman forward Grant Silianoff down the stretch. Notre Dame finished 0-for-2 on the power, with the second opportunity coming with 1:42 left in the third period, while Wisconsin was 1-for-2 on the man advantage.

Senior Dylan St. Cyr made 20 saves for the Irish, while freshmen Silianoff, Landon Slaggert, Ryder Rolston and Zach Plucinski each made their Notre Dame debuts.

The teams close out their season-opening series on Saturday night at 7 p.m. at the Compton Family Ice Arena. It will be televised by the NHL Network and NBC Sports Philadelphia+.

While Notre Dame football news has been upbeat, this has been a terrible week for college football — and the nation in general —leading to the cancellation of multiple games in the SEC and elsewhere. This includes No. 1 Alabama vs. LSU and No. 3 Ohio State against Maryland. In the ACC it's been Pitt-Georgia Tech, and the Pac-12, which just opened play last week, already has been having setbacks.

Winning the A.L. MVP. Very deserving of the award.

Just watched the 93 ND vs BC game on you tube. Foley, Mitchell and Campbell killed us. Might need a little taste of whiskey to ease my mind. Irish have to win tomorrow. 100% confident we will win easily, hope I’m not wrong.
ROLL IRISH ROLL!!!

The Irish are 14-3, most recently in Brian Kelly's first year (2010), defeating No. 15 Utah 28-3 to begin a turnaround from a 4-5 start.

Bronze Medal, 1943: Continuing its march to the first of four national titles under head coach Frank Leahy, Notre Dame defeats its fourth top-10 ranked team of the season with a 25-6 win at No. 8 Northwestern. In his second career start, John Lujack throws two touchdown passes to Bob Kelly.

Silver Medal, 1976: The University of Alabama with legendary head coach Bear Bryant makes its first trip to Notre Dame in the initialregular season meeting between the two schools. In two previous meetings, the Irish had defeated the Crimson Tide by 1 (24-23) in the 1973 Sugar Bowl to capture the national title, and then beat another 11-0 Alabama team by 2 (13-11) in the Orange Bowl the following year.
The symmetry continues with a 3-pointer (21-18) this time. QB Rick Slager completes 15 of 23 passes for 235 yards and a score while staking the Irish to a 21-7 first-half lead before getting injured later. Freshman Vagas Ferguson makes his starting debut and rushes for 107 yards, highlighted by a 17-yard score. But with the score 21-18 in the closing minutes and Alabama inside the Irish 10, Jim Browner intercepts a pass in the end zone.
"I don't reckon I'll be around for the four-pointer," Bryant lamented afterwards, noting the 1980 meeting in Birmingham.

Gold Medal, 1993: For only the third time in Notre Dame Stadium history, No. 1 (Florida State) meets No. 2 (Notre Dame) with the national title hanging in the balance. FSU opens the scoring with a 90-yard touchdown drive, but Notre Dame's physicality takes control from there, outscoring the Seminoles 31-10 over the next 54 minutes before a final pass into the end zone by Heisman winner Charlie Ward is batted away by Shawn Wooden to elevate the 10-0 Irish to the spot and increase the winning streak to 17, the second longest at the school since 1950.
Remarkably, it is ND's seventh win in 24 seasons against a team ranked No. 1 in the AP or coaches polls. You may have heard about this game in the last couple of weeks.

2020, what a year. 36hrs. to prep for one another.

Really enjoyed this series. It’s a character development story but chess and addiction are key players. I thought the lead actress was brilliant.
I got stoked at the notion of playing chess, but am wildly intimidated by it.
Starts slow but really pulls you in.

I would like to believe Notre Dame will be Coach Brian Kelly's last stop in Coaching College Football. However, in order to win 300 games coach Kelly would need to stay at Notre Dame or coach at another destination at least five to seven more years. Is it possible that Coach Kelly would stay at Notre Dame another three seasons and then leaves for another college football program? I just feel that the NFL coaching gigs have passed him by and that if he wants to continue coaching to achieve 300 wins it will be at Notre Dame or another school. Would Notre Dame keep Coach Kelly for another 5 to 7 years to reach the 300 wins? If so, the only way to keep Coach Lea in that instance would be as a coach in waiting type hire.

Let’s get the Win tomorrow.

Point guard Olivia Miles is ranked the No. 8 player nationally while 6-1 guard/wing Sonia Citron is No. 16.

Maybe a Rocket return or the final two goal line plays of Penn State '92. Maybe even the great Stanford goal line stand of '12.

Personally I would have loved to be in Pete Bercich's body and have caught that interception. Oh well...

the main rivals site has nd still heavily in the mix for rooks. i thought nd had moved on from him months ago?


Recruiting outlook: Syracuse is fighting to hold onto a lead for Rooks. Michigan and Notre Dame are major contenders in his recruitment too. The Fighting Irish have done a fantastic job recruiting his high school over the last couple years. There are a few other teams still in the mix but those are the two major contenders at this point. A commitment is still pretty far off.

Will the Irish have a letdown the week after taking down No. 1, or will it help to go against former Notre Dame QB Phil Jurkovec while realizing there is a bye next Saturday (Nov. 21)?

Appreciate the questions, folks.

The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today the updated protocols for winter sports within the league’s Medical Advisory Group Report. The report specifically addresses enhanced safety standards and testing measures in basketball, wrestling and low transmission risk sports.

Today’s updated MAG Report calls for all team members, and those in close contact with the teams in men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling, to be tested three times each week on non-consecutive days. One molecular (PCR) test must be administered within three days of the first competition of the week. The visiting team must have results from the test performed within three days prior to the competition before the team travels to the site. A test shall also be administered within 48 hours of the conclusion of a game and may be either a molecular (PCR) or antigen test.

Men’s and women’s basketball officials will be required to test three times per week and will undergo symptom and temperature checks upon arrival at the venue. Any personnel seated at the scorer’s table(s) must complete a symptom and temperature check upon arrival at the venue and wear a face covering at all times. Wrestling officials shall be tested once per week.

While in season, any team member who leaves the institution for more than three days (ex. NCAA-mandated holiday break), must quarantine for 24 hours upon return to campus. During quarantine, team members will be tested with a molecular (PCR) test and may return to practice if, and when, the result is negative. In addition, team members must record a second negative test (either PCR or antigen) prior to the first competition following the break.

As previously announced, every student-athlete who tests positive will undergo a cardiac evaluation that includes an electrocardiogram, a troponin test and an echocardiogram before a phased return to exercise.

In addition to the updated ACC MAG report, the ACC has significantly adjusted its 2020-21 Men’s and Women’s Basketball Game Management protocols. Specifically, there must be a minimum of 15 feet separating the general public and the areas on the court occupied by essential personnel (team bench/scorer’s table, etc.). Individuals deemed essential to have access within the 15-foot perimeter will be required to meet specific and consistent health and safety standards as agreed upon by all 15 schools, including a temperature screening, symptom check, physical distancing and masking.

We look back on the last 50 years in which by our count we have 26 such transfers, or about one every two years, not including five other grad transfers. Who excelled the most with new scenery?https://notredame.rivals.com/news/how-do-notre-dame-qb-transfers-fare-elsewhere-

I have to think this will happen but the committee is talking about it now.
