Irish women’s tennis set to close out regular season against Syracuse, Boston College

By Matthew Crow · Friday, April 14, 2023

The matches come in advance of next week’s ACC Championship, and Notre Dame’s performance this weekend could significantly impact their seeding at the tournament. The No. 27 Irish (13-9, 4-7 ACC) currently sit eighth in a tightly bunched ACC. No. 36 Syracuse (11-7, 4-7 ACC) is even with Notre Dame, while No. 41 Boston College (10-9, 3-8 ACC) is just a single game back. Losing both matches could drop the Irish as low as 12th, while a pair of wins could vault them into the top half of the standings. Notre Dame hopes that a strong conference tournament showing will earn them their first NCAA Tournament bid since 2017.

Irish baseball begins key stretch with visit to Clemson

By Tyler Reidy · Thursday, April 13, 2023

Notre Dame baseball (17-13, 7-8 ACC) currently occupies fourth place in the ACC’s Atlantic Division. Over the next four weekends, the Irish will face the three teams sitting below them - plus national No. 7 Virginia. Sitting just a game and a half out of second place, Notre Dame will have a major opportunity to further prove itself as a major national competitor, but also to solidify a favorable position in the standings. This weekend’s matchup with Clemson (20-14, 4-8 ACC) represents the first checkpoint.
