Irish to face tough Non-Conference Fixtures

Notre Dame's Fall Schedule
It includes west powers UCLA and Cal, quarterfinalist Drake. Then there are the regional non-conference foes. The squad plays Michigan and Michigan State, but the biggest two matches will be within a span of a week. First the squad is to take on Northwestern, who knocked us out of the tourney two years running, in Toyota Park. I'm going to begin working with the Athletic Department and see if we can get a huge crowd to this. Then a week after this match is what is the biggest match on the schedule: Indiana.
