The man, Robert Bilton Jr., 35, of Dearborn was strangled and had head injuries. Troopers said they pulled Daniel over because his Missouri-registered car did not have a front license plate as required.

Unfortunately for Notre Dame, they could not keep their momentum against Texas Pan- American. In that game, the Irish left the bases loaded in the ninth inning, en route to losing to Texas Pan-American 6-5. In the final game of the tournament the Irish suffered another close loss, this time to the hands of Creighton 8-6. "V" “Already after a few days, it was a stressful weekend,” said Mainieri. “I thought against Creighton we really felt the effects of the emotional draining of the first three days,” said Mainieri. Heading into the second leg of their spring break stint in San Antonio at the Irish Baseball Classic, Notre Dame was deter­ mined to improve on their 5-6 record. In the first game, they avenged their earlier loss to Creighton by beating the Bluejays 6-2. After missing the previous nine games due to a shoulder injury, pre­ season All-American junior Brian Stavisky hit a home run on the first pitch he saw. He also added a triple later in the game.

W o m e n ’s La c r o s s e Edged by the Big Red ♦ Irish second half rally not enough in 10-9 loss to No. 10 Cornell

By CHRIS COLEMAN Sports Writer

The No. 15 Irish women’s lacrosse team’s comeback fell just short as time ran out on Meyo Field Tuesday, losing to Cornell 10-9. Cornell started strong and quickly accumulated a 5-1 lead. “We didn’t come out strong enough," senior Tina Fedarcyk said. “We weren’t playing our game in the beginning.” But Kassen Delano started an Irish run when she dumped in a shot that snuck past Cornell’s keeper. Then co­ captain Alissa Moser stole the ball and carried it for 40 yards to set up Lauren Fischer’s free position goal to make the score 5-3 with just six minutes left in the half. However, Cornell countered the run by scoring three quick goals to end the half, putting them in front 8-3. The Irish had trouble converting shots throughout the first half, despite having open looks. “We just didn’t get to capitalize on opportunities that we had, especially in the first half,” defender Kelly McCardell said. “In the first half we made them look better than they were. We knew how important this game was — this was the first top-10 team we were play­ ing. We knew we needed to pick it up in
