By KYLE CASSILY Sports Writer

The No. 11 Irish (2-1) weathered a 12-minute delay after the second period Thursday when a tornado warning prompted an evacua­ tion of the Joyce Center. The stadium eventually refilled, and the Irish held on in the third to defeat No. 5 Denver 4-3. The interruption failed to ALLISON AMBROSE/The Observer slow down Notre Dame, which ALLISON AMBROSE/The Observer Irish defenseman Kyle Lawson skates down the ice Thursday in Notre Irish center Kevin Deeth tries to win a faceoff Thursday in Notre Dame’s 4-3 victory over Denver in the Joyce Center. see DENVER/page 30 Dame’s 4-3 win over Denver at the Joyce Center.
