ESPNW Names Muffet "Coach of the Year"


Notre Dame's Muffet McGraw was named national Coach of the Year for women's college basketball by ESPNW!  I suspect this will be just the first of many such national awards for Muffet and her undefeated Fighting Irish!

Congrats Muffet!

Notre Dame Clobbers #2 Boston College


Jeff Jackson's Fighting Irish crushed the #2 ranked Eagles of Boston College last night 7 - 2 in game  of a best-of-three Hockey East Tournament series.  BC scored the game's two first goals, on their home ice, before Notre Dame scored seven unanswered goals. 


The Irish are on a roll at the right time -- eight straight wins -- as they make their case for a NCAA bid.

Game two is played this afternoon -- again in Boston -- at 4 PM ET.  Go Irish!
