A break from the fight.

Notre Dame: A Hockey school too

While the battle against malaria is still on going, let us take a break from the fighting. It's hard going for the Notre Dame Men's Basketball team. Injuries and tough breaks have made the season less than stellar, but there is a cause for boosting by Irish- the Notre Dame Men's Hockey team. While the football and basketball teams have stalled, the hockey team is skating to the top of their conference. Last week, Brian Conway '12, Stedsman and current PhD chemistry candidate at Penn State, was at the hockey game when the Irish traveled to Happy Valley to face off against the Nittany Lions. On the game, Conway said, "Penn State likes to think itself as “Hockey Valley”, and with weather in the single digits, it certainly felt like it. The Nittany Lions scored two quick goals to open the game, but after taking the lead in the second period, the Irish never looked back. In the end, the Irish edged out the Nittany Lions 5-3 to win." And on the win, Conway added, "While in my day we were a fencing school, I'm glad we've progressed to being a hockey school too."
