The #11 Notre Dame Dons (7-1, 1-0) grabbed an early lead in the East Suburban Catholic Conference with an impressive 48-36 victory over #7 Marian Catholic (5-2, 1-1) in Niles on Tuesday evening (December 10, 2019). Both Notre Dame and Marian Catholic are considered top contenders to win the ESCC.
Making it even more impressive was doing it without star point guard junior Anthony Sayles. The Dons bounced back from a frustrating defeat at the hands of #4 Evanston on Friday in the Chicago Elite Classic. The maddeningly difficult schedule for the Don continues Friday when they take on Loyola at Loyola.
