...remember the intervening year when Notre Dame broke USC's 23-game winning streak enroute to the National Championship. Eight times since 1926, the National Championship has been decided in a USC-Notre Dame game. To win this year's game. 27-6. Notre-Dame pulled a psychological trick out of the bag. The school colors are gold and blue, but the Irish showed up on the field dressed in green jerseys for only the third time in 20 years.

Rowning injured her ankle early in the game, but the Crimson's only replacement was JV netminder Mill Vialet. So Rowning played until the final seven minutes, visibly hobbling...
Harvard kept the pressure on, and Landry earned a pair of goals at 32.06 and 6:15 to complete a hat trick and bring the Crimson back, within one. Marinello scored on a direct kick, however, with 1:34 remaining to preserve a Bruin victory...
