f I MEN's SoccER Cox's goal sends Irish to 1-0 victory over Vikings

By KERRY SMITH Sports Writer

The Irish looked for some confidence heading into this weekend's Big East matchups - and found it Tuesday ·night with a 1-0 win over the Cleveland State Vikings. "As for our confidence level. a win is a win," senior forward Ryan Cox said. "We got the goal we needed and then hung in there tight at the end. We're expecting some pretty decent results this weekend." The Irish and the Vikings traded possessions early on and had trouble clearing the ball past the midfield in the opening minutes of play. After the initial struggle for control. the Irish went on the offensive at the seven-minute mark and dominated for the rest of the game. Notre Dame, building from the backfield and utilizing a patient attack, delivered 11 unanswered shots on goal in the first half. "Cleveland State's a tough team to play," Cox said. "They're coming in here thinking 'We're playing Notre Dame.' They get psyched wanting to beat Knute Rockne, Joe Mont:ana, Rudy and the whole - so it's always a going to be a diffi­ cult game because they get pumped up."
