Fighting Irish stats:
Notre Dame hit 11 threes on the night.
No stats were submitted for Alexander.
“What an atmosphere tonight," said Notre Dame Coach Mikey Rapone. "We played very well tonight against a very good team. Our shooting confidence finally came around, and tonight, we were able to make some threes. We had four guys in double figures, and everybody contributed to the win. Our guards did a great job of handling the pressure that Alexander put on full court. We limited the live ball turnovers, not allowing them to get easy buckets. Our press was active, and we were able to get our hands on some passes. We game-planned to try to stop Dylan Pohl and make him earn every basket. In the third quarter he got away from us a little bit, we allowed him to get 11 points. But overall, I thought our zone did a great job tonight, which is different from what we normally play, man-to-man. I’m proud of our kids, all thirteen of them. They really worked hard together in preparation for this one, and hopefully, we can stay the course and continue to get better.”
Notre Dame is now 9-4 on the season. The Trojans are 10-3.

Alexander Central High School has produced plenty of athletic talent throughout the years and the Roberts Wesleyan University track and field program has capitalized on all that talent through the college recruiting process.
Two of the most recent stars to come through Alexander have been Hailee Lowe and Jadyn Mullen. In her first collegiate track meet with the Redhawks Mullen managed to break the school record in the Pentathlon at the Susquehanna Early Season Multi & Invitational.
Mullen scored 3,205 points and won both the high jump and 800 meter run outright in the Pentathlon, jumping 1.56 meters (5' 1.25”) and finishing the 800 in a time of 2:28.62. Mullen was 87 points above the second-place finisher and broke the school record previously held by Hailee Lowe by 33 points, who set it back in January 2023 at the YSU Mid-Major Invitational (3,174 points). Mullen was also named East Coast Conference Field Athlete of the Week for her outstanding performance.
This was not the first record of Lowe’s that Mullen has broken. At Alexander Central Mullen broke Lowe’s record in the 100 meter hurdles and the outdoor Pentathlon. Since graduating from Alexander in 2023, Mullen still holds twelve school records, including outdoor Pentathlon, outdoor long jump, indoor and outdoor high jump, 2k steeplechase, 400 meter hurdles, 100 meter hurdles, 800 meter run, 600 meter run, 55 meter hurdles, indoor shot put, and indoor Pentathlon.
Mullen who was previously at Penn State University for a semester scored 3,124 points at the Bison Opener at Bucknell University to place 5th in the Women’s Orange Pentathlon back in her sole appearance for the Nittany Lions back in December 2023.
Currently, Mullen sits at 116th in the entire nation with her Redhawk debut score of 3,205 points in the Pentathlon. She is currently 1st in the East Region and East Coast Conference with a converted score of 3,227 points. Her converted score due to track size is just 67 points shy of the NCAA DII provisional standard of 3,294 points, which is needed to have a chance to reach the NCAA DII National Championships in Indianapolis, Indiana on March 12 -15.
Mullen will look to improve upon her score and continue her success this season at the Brockport Multi Invitational on February 7 - 8. The Redhawks first meet back from Winter break will take place at the Brockport Rust Buster on January 17.
