Will any of our resident South Benders be at tonight's game?

I know we've had boots on the ground at early August scrimmages at home in the past. Hoping that's the case again, always good to get some early notes!

Halftime Score: ND 2 Bowling Green 0

I was only able to attend the first half on Sunday, so I don't know the final. But ND controlled the first half. Goal scorers were Annabelle and Lily. Annabelle's first shot was blasted off the post, she didn't miss the rebound shot.

All the freshman saw significant minutes. Still no sign of Izzy. Perhaps she's away on US team practices.


Final: ND 1 Northwestern 0

Izzy, Tessa and Grace did not play. Grace may still be recovering from her late season injury last year,

Like the first half, lots of substitutions throughout the half. Hollomon played goal for the final 40 minutes.

Heavy rain shower hit with about 26 minutes to go, but only lasted about 5 minutes.

Abby anchored the back line flanked by Claire Logan, Gabby Poretto, and Gracie Milan (who flipped from left to right). Gabby played left side exclusively, as did Claire on the right.

Bristol Kersh impressed on left wing.


Thx for the 1st hand coverage. *

Especially with Slainte Joe’s revelation that Tessa Knapp is now out with an ACL


Wow, so a lot of freshmen played!

That's a good thing, I would guess.
If I would have guessed one freshman would impress, it would have been Bristol Kersh. So, she may be the replacement for Leah Klenke? No, not a replacement, but fill her position.

So, Tess is out for the year?
Nice that Abby stayed at center back and that Gabbi is already in the lineup on defense. Also nice to have Milan in there.
Not that it matters, but who scored?

Did Kate Kimnerley play? or Charlee Siria or Reese Canada?


Knapp is out for the year. ACL. *

Wow, That Sucks. Any Idea When She Was Injured?

ND is ultra tight on disclosing anything, but was this recent? Earlier? I really like Knapp.
That said, "losing" a year for her now, may be a gain down the road in that it extends her eligibility.

All the best to her recovery.


Nit - redshirt years are gone

with the 5 for 5 rule unless I misunderstand. I don’t think seasons lost due to injury get a 6th year


You are correct, assuming nothing about the rule changes

Granted, everything in the NCAA rulebook these days is subject to change so...


Kind of Like Ivy League Rule +1

The Ivies go four years of academic and athletic eligibility and you're out of the Ivy (much to the delight of major lacrosse teams in the B1G and ACC).
So this is now the gist of the current NCAA rule, but for five years. Well, glad she gets an extra year that way.


It was in one of the spring games. *

ND 1 Northwestern 0 at the half
by FightingIrishRadio  (2026-08-05 18:23:25)     cannot delete  |  Edit  |  Return to Board  |  Ignore Poster   |  Report Post |   Highlight Poster  |   Reply to Post

They moved the start time up to 5:30. I arrived about 20 minutes in, and ND had already scored.

Lots of substitutions - I think all the freshmen have played. Neither Izzy nor Grace played in the last 25 minutes of the half.


There is inclement weather expected around 8:30-9pm

My guess is that's why they moved the start time up.


Thanks a ton. *

I'll add my voice to hoping someone at the game will report

In the past, Exhibition games often get no coverage, i.e. no score, or any remarks on the play or the outcome. That would be a shame.


I will not be able to attend this evening... *
