Notre Dame football: Estime recognized for strong Syracuse showing

Great to see Estime’s performance getting recognized!

[autotag]Audric Estime[/autotag] has had flashes of greatness in 2022 but the sophomore running back from New Jersey has had some issues hanging onto the ball as well.  Last week against Syracuse was his best and most complete game to date however as he totaled 132 rushing yards on 20 carries.  He also twice found pay dirt.

As a result, Estime was recognized by the Maxwell Award as part of their weekly honor roll.  North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye was named the Award’s overall player of the week.

Here is what they said about Estime and his strong showing in upstate New York:

After some early season struggles, the Fighting Irish have won five of their last six games. In beating No. 16 Syracuse over the weekend, Estime had 123 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 20 carries. The sophomore running back did so against a very strong Orange defense.

Notre Dame women’s soccer dominates Syracuse

Notre Dame’s women’s soccer team had more goals on Sunday than Syracuse had shots on goal. Details to ND’s latest win here.

The Notre Dame women’s soccer team dominated Syracuse on Sunday and won their third straight contest with a 2-0 win.

Kiki Van Zanten handled the scoring for Irish as her first goal of the day came just before halftime at the 42 minute mark and was assisted by Brooke Van Dyck.

Van Zanten’s second goal of the day came with just minutes remaining the contest as she scored at the 89′ mark to cap the scoring by giving Notre Dame a 2-0 lead.

The win kept Notre Dame unbeaten all-time at home against Syracuse, a series that has now seen nine games, none of which Syracuse has even scored in.

Notre Dame’s defense was so stout on Sunday in fact that goalkeeper Mattie Interian had to make just one stop to record the shutout.

The win was Notre Dame’s third straight and moved the Irish to 3-1-0 on the year while Syracuse dropped to 0-3-0.

Notre Dame returns to action when they host Wake Forest on October 15.
