LETTER TO THE EDITOR 'We will never forget him'

To the Sullivan Family, and to the entire Notre Dame student body: We, as members of the Notre Dame faculty, wish to express our grief, shock and horror at the death of Declan Sullivan. Our hearts and sympathy go out to you all. Many of us feel bereft and helpless in the face of this terrible tragedy. Declan’s untimely death, and what we have learned of his life, promise and talents, remind us that every one of our students is precious and absolutely irreplaceable. We promise that, whether or not we knew Declan personally, we will never forget him. With love, sympathy and solidarity,

After grinding out the ugly win in dramatic fashion, Lavin was thrilled with his team’s endurance and effort. “We’re in great shape. We did a lot of conditioning in the offseason and during the season,” Lavin said. “I think, you know, thus far in the third period, I think we’ve worked harder than the other team. That’s really important to us, and we just need to make sure we sustain that for 60 minutes and throughout the whole season.” The two teams took the ice again in Kalamazoo Saturday night, with the Irish and Broncos ending up tied both after regulation and after overtime 2-2. Lee lit the lamp just over a minute into the game, but Western Michigan scored two unanswered goals before Costello found the back of the net for the first time in his career late in the second period to tie the game. From there, the teams played over 28 scoreless min- utes, including the entire third period and five-minute overtime period. Sophomore Irish goalie Mike Johnson stopped 11 shots in that span of time, and 31 on the game overall. Ryan scored on the Irish’s first shootout attempt while senior captain Calle Ridderwall was stopped by Pisellini on the next Notre Dame attempt. Johnson, however, stonewalled three Bronco attempts to earn the CCHA shootout point. In the end, Notre Dame earned five out of six possible points in a tough pair of games against Western Michigan. The Irish will return to action next week- end, traveling to Bowling Green for games Friday and Saturday at 7:05 p.m.

Notre Dame dropped another game against a mid-major opponent Saturday. The 28-27 loss to Tulsa brought the Irish record to 4-5, putting any bowl game hopes in jeopardy. Junior quarterback Dayne Crist left the game in the first quarter, after suffering a season-ending knee injury for the second year in a row. In his place, freshman Tommy Rees racked up 334 yards and four touchdowns, along with three interceptions. The Golden Hurricane capitalized on Irish mistakes — scor- ing two points off a blocked extra point attempt, returning an interception 66 yards for a score and returning a punt 59 yards for another touchdown. Tulsa quarterback G.J. Kinne accounted for 274 total yards, including 196 through the air.
