Fighting Irish Beat the Irish Nationals 1-0

 The Notre Dame women’s soccer team is off to a great start. They recently were named the unanimous selection to win the Big East in the conference preseason poll, their top forward was the preseason selection to win the Big East Player of the Year, and they just beat the Irish National team 1-0. The Fighting Irish beat the Irish. You heard it here first. UND’s women soccer team is ranked No. 3 in the nation coming into the season, and the Ireland National Soccer team is ranked No. 27 in the world. So that gives you an idea about the impressiveness of the Notre Dame victory and the strength of the team this season. Said head coach Randy Waldrum,

“This was a positive first step for us this preseason, coming out only five days into camp and having a lot of people playing new positions. Ireland is a very organized and disciplined team and it really tested our focus and resiliency for 90 minutes. We saw some things that we’re obviously going to need to improve upon, but for our first time out, I was pleased with the effort and the result.”
