Jeremy D’Amico of Geneva hopes to end this season with a national championship, which would be the highlight of his college basketball career. For now, though, the highlight of the season for the Cardinal Stritch University senior has been a game that didn’t even count in the standings.

“We played Notre Dame and we were tied with them at halftime,” D’Amico recalls.

The Wolves ultimately lost the Nov. 2 exhibition game to the Fighting Irish, 70-56. But for the Cardinal Stritch players, the opportunity to play in South Bend was a memorable experience.
