W o m e n ’s B a s k e t b a l l No. 5 Irish look to soar over No. 18 Eagles

By KERRY SM ITH Assistant Sports Editor

The road to the Big East championship will get a little rockier for the women’s bas­ ketball team this weekend. When the Irish play host Saturday to the Boston College Eagles, the first ranked team to come to the Joyce Center this season, the meeting will be the first in a series of uphill Irish battles before tournament time in March. Blowing out their opponents by double digits in each of their conference tests this sea­ son, the Irish have advanced through their Big East sched­ ule with ease, showing why they are the team to beat. But all that could change as the Irish face a slew of tougher teams in the coming weeks. Top conference teams like Boston College, Rutgers and Connecticut are three of Notre Dame’s final seven opponents. “We’re taking it one game at a time,” said junior forward Kelley Siemon. “But this game does hold a little bit of leverage because it is our first game against a ranked opponent in a while and starts out a stretch of good opponents to end the regular season.” Ranked 18th in the nation, Boston College has won 14 out of its last 15 games and poses the biggest threat so far to Notre Dame’s undefeated con­ ference record. Come Saturday, the two squads that meet on the court at the Joyce Center w ill be much more evenly matched than Notre Dame would like.

Could somebody please set that big clock over there on O’Shag? I try the polls don’t wear a watch, so I haven’t been getting to class on time much lately. I'd do it myself, but I don’t really know how.

It is my opinion and the opinion of at least 51 percent of Saint Mary’s College Andy Ankowski voters that Koelsh/Rodarte is the winner Senior, Off-Campus of the recent election. Although February 7, 2000 Renner/Nagle is qualified — as all four tickets were qualified — they were not the resounding choice of the campus.
