How Sweet it is!

Last night, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish advanced to the Sweet 16 of the Women’s NCAA Championship Tournament with a victory over the University of California by a score of 73-62. Congratulations Irish! Keep up the great work!

March is a wonderful time for college basketball, and players and fans alike get to enjoy the pageantry and madness of the championships. It is a time to celebrate the hard work of all 64 teams who earn a spot in the tournament. Their consistent high level of play, performed with grace and integrity, has landed them on one of sport’s grandest stages, and as spectators, we enjoy watching athletes who excel on the court and in the classroom. Although only one can emerge from the month of mayhem on top, Play Like a Champion Today ™ salutes the efforts of all the teams who have made it this far. We wish the best to all those teams who have already been eliminated, and thank them for playing with determination, passion, and class.

Thank you all you athletes and coaches for being good role models for our children, and good luck in the coming weeks! GO IRISH!
