We still do not have Notre Dame’s complete schedule for the 2023-24 season. However, other teams’ nonconference schedules are starting to come out, and the Irish have been listed on one of them. Northwestern has released its nonconference schedule and, in doing so, revealed that the Wildcats’ first road game will be Nov. 15 against the Irish.
This particular game will be interesting because there should be some lingering feelings from when these teams met in Evanston last year. Late in the first half of a 92-58 Irish victory, a skirmish emerged after [autotag]Olivia Miles[/autotag] hit two free throws. Three Wildcats left the bench to participate and were ejected for doing so. Two of those players, leading scorer Caileigh Walsh and Jasmine McWilliams, will be on this year’s Wildcats team.
With most of last year’s Irish returning this year, you know they’ll remember this. More importantly, they’ll remember how much they dominated the Wildcats on their home court. Can they hold serve as the home team? We’ll find out.
