SPARTANS SHOW WHY THEY’RE NO. 1 IN 4-1 DOMINANCE OF STRUGGLING IRISH

By John Fineran SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame knew what to expect when it welcomed Michigan State Friday for the first of a two-game Big Ten hockey series at the Lefty Smith Rink in the Compton Family Ice Arena. The Spartans showed why they are the unanimous No. 1 team in the nation with their 4-1 victory over the Fighting Irish. “They shoot a lot of pucks, they’re on top of you,” Notre Dame’s first-year coach Brock Sheahan said. “If you don’t advance pucks, you’re going to spend time in your own end. They are a really good hockey team. At times I thought we played well; at times we were overwhelmed.” The loss was the fifth straight in the Big Ten for the Irish, who are...

Marquis Adkins has Lafayette Jeff running smoothly

By Paul Condry and Matt Kopsea Marquis Adkins has no trouble finding his way around the football field. That’s why good things usually happen for Lafayette Jeff when the 5-foot-7, 175-pound senior gets involved. “I feel like my strengths are my vision and how hard I run with the football,” explained Adkins. “That’s why I like playing running back. I like scoring touchdowns, and I get to be me with the ball in my hands.” Since bursting on the scene in 2023, he has proven to be a difference maker. After accounting for 56 carries for 314 yards with three touchdowns and two receptions for eight yards as a sophomore, Adkins played a bigger role in 2024 by helping the...
