ND SPORTS eight minutes later, however, he gave up two goals within 18 seconds. Jackson gave the talented freshman the benefit of the doubt, criticizing the Irish skaters for getting lackadaisical late in the second period, leading to back‑to‑back odd‑man rushes headed toward Petersen. "I'm not going to read anything into it," Jackson said. "We know he's an exceptional goaltender. He's going to have to adjust to the college game, and he's going to have to do it probably with three or four freshman defense‑ men in the lineup." Petersen, who spent the last two sea‑ sons playing for the Waterloo Black Hawks in the USHL and was drafted in the fifth round of the 2013 NHL Draft by the Buffalo Sabres, also was not ac‑ customed to entering a game halfway through. Normally, he would head for the net immediately after pregame warm‑ups. Irish Roundup WOMEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING Notre Dame opened its season with a 182-118 win over Michigan Sate, claiming 11 of 18 first-place finishes as well as 11 more runner-up slots. The Irish hit the wall one-two in the 200-yard medley relay; the 200-, 100- and 50-yard freestyles; the 200- and 100-yard backstrokes; the 200-yard butterfly and the three-meter springboard. Sophomore Catherine Mulquin led the way with individual victories in the 100 back and 100 free, as well as helping the 200 medley relay to a first-place finish. She also finished second in the 50 free. Senior Emma Reaney added two individual wins as well, in the 100 and 200 breast. MEN'S SOCCER (5-3-2, 2-1-1 ACC) A four-match unbeaten streak fell apart and did so emphatically when No. 1 Notre Dame lost to Bos- ton College and Michigan within a week, each by a goal. The 1-0 loss to the Eagles Oct. 3 came despite dominating the majority of the game. Notre Dame outshot Boston College 19-3, committed six less fouls and took two more corner kicks. The Eagles did not manage so much as one shot in the second half, but their one first-half tally proved to be enough as the Irish could not find the back of the net. Against the Wolverines, Notre Dame overcame a 2-0 deficit thanks to goals from freshman forward Jef- frey Farina and junior midfielder Patrick Hodan, but Michigan responded with a goal in the 83rd minute to steal the victory. WOMEN'S SOCCER (8-4-1, 3-2 ACC) After falling to No. 4 Virginia earlier in the week, Notre Dame returned to its winning ways with a 2-0 win at Pittsburgh Oct. 9. Senior forward Lauren Bohaboy and sophomore midfielder Morgan Andrews provided twice the scor- ing the Irish needed, thanks to a four-save shutout from sophomore netminder Kaela Little, her seventh clean sheet of the young season. — Douglas Farmer
