The good thing for the Thunder is that it is early in the season. They played aggressive defensively and we struggled to spread the floor to counteract that pressure. “We missed a lot of shots but their defence was very good and I give them a lot of credit. “That was a tough one,” BT head coach Gabe Diadamo said. The Thunder struggled from the start with turnovers and a lack of finish. They get along really well, they have fun and they work hard. “We have girls from Grade 12 to Grade 9 playing and they have gelled really well. “We have different players scoring every night.” “They all did a good job and I really like that about our team,” O’Leary said. Notre Dame used a balanced scoring approach to knock off Blessed Trinity. “I just have to have the mentality that they are going in.” “My handle isn’t overly tight and my shots are hit or miss,” she said. She is working her way back to being the player she used to be. “They had a buyout and it was super loud. That atmosphere was especially evident in her team’s opening game at Holy Cross.
“I was shooting a little bit with my with dad in the summer and I really enjoyed it. Once she was back on the court, she rekindled her passion for hoops. “I played with her my whole life and she kept telling me I had to play. She returned to the sport at the urging of teammate Emma Hemphill, who came over to Notre Dame this year from Holy Cross. “My dad (Mike) coached me and I have always enjoyed watching March Madness and stuff.” Pullar, who played travel basketball until Grade 9, agreed she missed the sport. She was shooting the ball better tonight and every game she continues to get better and better.” “She would say her shot is not where she wants it to be but she brings such calm to our team. “She is incredibly smooth,” Notre Dame head coach Pat O’Leary said. Playing against the Blessed Trinity Thunder in the championship quarter-finals of the Second Annual BPSN Girls Basketball Tournament at Churchill, she netted 17 points to help her team record a 63-32 triumph. Her return to the Notre Dame senior girls basketball squad has been a welcome addition. “I had been told that Grade 11 is your hardest year but Grade 12 is easier and I have a couple of spares. “It was because of school,” the 17-year old said. In any case, the Fighting Irish faithful will undoubtedly “cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,” regardless of the rest of the lyrics.Nicole Pullar began playing basketball at a very young age but decided last year to hit the pause button. If you’re going to make it “inclusive” you might as well go fully gender neutral like “while her loyal /ones/ go marching” instead of “AND DAUGHTERS!!! 💞🌸💕💖💐🎀💄🍬🩰💓💗” after women have already been here for 50 years īut then again, she also proudly associates herself with the acronyms “blm acab fbgm fmab,” so she’d likely be unhappy, no matter what anybody did. Someone with the Twitter handle who claims she will matriculate from “Notre Lame” some time this year, claims that the new lyrics are too little, too late: However, another grad thinks the move doesn’t go far enough. We’ve sung it this way for decades but now it’s official! Go Irish! ☘️☘️☘️
NBC news correspondent and “proud alumna” Anne Thompson shared her enthusiasm for the change on Twitter: It finally admitted female students in 1972, and about twenty years or so after that, people began altering the fight song to reflect the co-ed student body. MARCH ON to victory /aheZD7cQt1įounded in 1842, the University of Notre Dame remained an all-male school for 130 years. Unofficially, these have been the lyrics for decades. That’s right, the University of Notre Dame has adjusted the famous line “While her loyal sons are marching / Onward to victory” to “While her loyal sons and daughters / March on to victory.”Īt least officially. The lyrics of one of the most recognizable fight songs in all of college sports has been altered to recognize the loyal sons AND the loyal daughters of its illustrious institution.
