Tribe upends no. 34 Notre Dame on the road

The College team upended no. 34 Notre Dame University for the first time in 30 years Sunday afternoon. Playing in South Bend, the no. 68 Tribe won by a score of 4-3. The win prevented the Irish from claiming its eighth consecutive victory against the College. The Tribe was helped with victories at both the no. 1 and no. 3 doubles positions. Senior Alex Cojanu had wins against nationally ranked opponents in both doubles and singles. Junior Keziel Juneau added another singles win, and junior Dominic Pagon completed the team victory with his 19th win of the season. Notre Dame is the highest-ranked opponent the team has defeated this season. The Tribe’s next two contests will be their last at home as they face both the University of South Alabama and Howard University Friday.
