Notre Dame of Maryland University's women's and men's basketball teams both opened the home portion of their 2023-24 schedules in front of packed crowds at MBK Sports Complex! The women hosted Salisbury on November 8 to open up their home schedule, while the men faced St. Mary's (MD) on Monday for their first home game in program history.
There will be plenty of additional opportunities to support our Gators throughout the winter. Women's basketball defeated Cedar Crest by a 70-30 final in its United East opener last night, while the men are back at MBK next Wednesday, Dec. 6 to take on Wilson College.

Eight NDMU students and faculty members from the Morrissy Honors Program recently attended the 2023 National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) Annual Conference, which was held in Chicago from November 8-12.
Anna Choudhary '25, Eliza Davis '25, and Nwanneka Udolisa '25 served as moderators at the conference, attending multiple presentations and facilitating discussions between audience members and the presenters. Jensen Armstrong '24, program director Dr. Evelyn Spratt, and Sister Therese Marie Dougherty, Ph.D. ’60 presented on a Heritage Tour that two honors students and two honors professors completed in 2022. That trip involved tracing the steps of the first SSNDs to arrive in America, and readings of their letters and journals during visits with current SSNDs in several cities around the region.
Averee Radonovich '24 presented her Morrissy Independent Study on Burnout in Critical Care Nurses in Maryland amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic, while Julie Asbury '24 presented research on neurodegenerative diseases through her work at the Sun Lab at Johns Hopkins University as a member of the Sister Alma Science Year fellowship.
