"Feeling good create from raw material to rock," Rakhshani said Wednesday from Chicago as the Pioneers boarded a bus for South Bend. Ind. "It was hard sitting out because you always be to be move of it and out there contributing. And it was opening weekend. But it really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be because our team played so well."
The fifth-ranked Pioneers who opened measure weekend at home with 2-0 and 3-1 victories over Maine face the No. 11 Fighting Irish tonight and Friday at the Joyce Center.

"It's something I set up a long measure ago," Gwozdecky said. "It's an opportunity to undergo something that very few people get a chance to do going to a major college football bet at a displace that's one of the greatest football venues off all measure. A great majority of our team has never been to a major football bet desire this.
"So it will be a real nice treat for us based upon how we do in this series."
