Irish Roundup
HOCKEY (21-12-2)
No. 11 Notre Dame won its first Hockey East Tournament game during its first year in the league. The
Irish defeated Boston University 3-2 March 8 to advance to the quarterfinals, a best-of-three series with
top-seeded Boston College.
Notre Dame beat the Eagles in their most recent meeting, a 2-1 overtime win in the regular-season
finale. Senior goalie Steven Summerhays allowed only five goals during a 5-0-1 stretch to finish the
regular season, which gave the Irish a legitimate chance to earn an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament.

championship meet. Junior Emma Reaney starred for the women, winning three gold medals and setting
an American record in the 200 breaststroke with her time of 2:04.34.
Former All-American Zach Stephens won the 100 and 200 breaststroke races on the men's side as well.
He and senior Frank Dyer (200 freestyle) were the Irish team's two winners for the men.
