Notre Dame Riding High Ahead of Series Against Minnesota
After sweeping Ohio State last weekend and riding a three-game winning streak, Notre Dame returns home to South Bend, Indiana, for a weekend series against fifth-ranked University of Minnesota.
The Fighting Irish won 6-1 and 8-1 in Columbus. Alex Steeves scored seven points in the two games, and the Big Ten named him the second star of the week. Steeves comes into this weekend riding a five-game point streak in which he has 10 points (4-6-10).
But secondary scoring stole the show in Ohio. With Michael Graham, Max Ellis and Zach Plucinski all out of the lineup, three seniors (Matt Steeves Pierce Crawford and Cam Burke) all scored their first goals of the season.
