I’m from Ontario, Canada and I’m a proud Notre Dame fan but usually football and basketball. I have watched girls’ soccer played when I was down for a football game. Actually, I saw the OS and Stanford because I was in Florida for a holiday. I’m sure I disturbed poeple in nearby rooms with my excitement. The ladies were fantastic and if I’m correct, they’re a young team and they have got a new fan.

Watched both the OSU and Stanford games with my 11 year old daughter who is a goalie on her travel team. Her excitement for the team reminded me of when I was at the Fiesta Boawl watching the football national championship game against W.Va. Proud to be an alum of a school which has such great student-athletes who show heart and commitment. It was an easy “life lesson” moment for my daughter. Thanks for leading by example ladies!

Fighting Irish WSoccer Team – great job! You clearly beat Stanford with your speed, fitness and hustle to the ball. You really worked as a team by passing the ball and sending great crossing shots across the goal. Congrats and thanks for keeping ND prominent in college sports.

Congratulations Ladies!! Stanford had no answer for your speed and your great defense. Their keeper kept them in the game with some great saves, but their offense wasn’t able to respond. You did a great job keeping the ball moving towards their goal and keeping the momentum on your side.
Once you are a National Champion, they can’t take that away from you, it is yours forever.!!

Watched the game from the Kansas City, Missouri area, which is the home to five members of this championship team. The phrase “Play Like a Champion” was most alive and well in North Carolina on Sunday morning. These highly talented female student-atheletes brought ND its only national atheletic championship this year. For that, all of us, including this ND grad who went to ND when only guys were allowed, are most thankful and grateful. And by the way, only two universities have won three NCAA women’s soccer championships; one of them is noted for its great basketball tradition and the other one is noted for its great football tradition. Now both of them are noted for their great women’s socceer tradition.

Great game to watch from PA! Very proud of you all!!!
But here’s a question: does anybody who watched that game have any doubt whatsoever who was the best player on the field? I doubt it!!! Melissa Henderson, you may not win the national award, but clearly you were the best player on the field yesterday, while your teammates shut down Christen Press like true champions!!!
Boy, it was so much fun to watch that i watched the replay too!!!
GO IRISH!!!
