Notre Dame proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by 16) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over the Elba Lancers. Winning may never get old, but the Fighting Irish sure are getting used to it with their eighth in a row.
