After starring as a dual-threat quarterback at Charlottesville’s Monticello High School, Notre Dame senior wide receiver Malachi Fields laid his roots down at home and committed to compete for the Virginia Cavaliers. Switching from throwing passes to catching them once he arrived at Charlottesville’s university, Fields made an immediate impact for the high-powered Hoos’ attack.
Fireworks painted the night sky red as the first university band performed “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The pyrotechnics shot out the roof of college football’s cathedral, simulating the rocket’s red glare. This pregame rendition of the national anthem carried a bit more weight this time around, as Notre Dame hosted Navy in the first night game in series history. In the 98th edition of a storied rivalry, the Irish sought their seventh-straight victory after a 0-2 start. The Midshipmen were trying to bounce back from their first loss of the season last weekend against North Texas. Like last season, the game had massive College Football Playoff implications, with both teams fighting for their postseason lives.
Despite Navy’s conservative triple option attack, the swirling snow flurries of early November and South Bend’s limiting possessions, Marcus Freeman’s No. 10 Irish were able to out-duel the Midshipmen and continue their push to the College Football Playoff (CFP). After a methodical opening 25 minutes from both sides, the Irish scored three touchdowns across the “middle eight” to cruise to a 49-10 rivalry victory.
Notre Dame and Duke faced off in a women’s soccer matchup for the second time this season. The first game went the way of the Irish, who won 3-2 in a thrilling contest that came down to the final minute. The second matchup between these two teams was no different. Facing off in the ACC Tournament Semifinal, Notre Dame took down the Blue Devils 2-1, advancing to the final, where they will play top seed Stanford on Sunday. Notre Dame, being the No. 2 seed, got a bye into this round, while Duke overcame Louisville 1-0 to set up a date with the Irish. Notre Dame is still seeking its first-ever ACC Tournament Championship. They now only need one more win to bring it home.

After a comfortable win against Long Island University to start the season, Notre Dame men’s basketball is 1-0. The Irish will look to remain undefeated as they host the Detroit Mercy Titans Friday night.
Notre Dame sophomore cornerback Leonard Moore is as consistent as they come. The former three-star recruit seems to put on a five-star clinic every time he dons the gold helmet. After an impressive freshman campaign in which he recorded a team-high 11 pass breakups and was named the PWFA Freshman Defensive Player of the Year, Moore has progressed to new heights in 2025 through a sharp attention to detail.
Not to go very “Barbie” movie monologue on you, but it seems to me that nothing a woman does can satisfy the culture — new critiques are always entering the zeitgeist about what women should and shouldn’t be doing.

It’s an unfortunate fact that many of us have lost faith in politicians. Even the word “politician” now pejoratively carries connotations of duplicity, shallowness, wealth and manipulation. I am not here to convince you to view politicians in a favorable light; that is a task which I find myself inadequate, as well as unwilling, to undertake. I do wish, however, to point out a recent moment that reminded me of the potential value of a true American politician.
It’s easy to write about the despondency of Camden. A deindustrialized city of 72,000 with poverty and violent crime rates far above the national average, public officials have found it increasingly convenient over the last several decades to turn their backs on the city, leaving it to a steady population and economic decline, comparable to that of Detroit. So why did one priest from Ireland stick around for nearly 50 years in this same city, in the same parish?
