The grand prize winner will receive two tickets to the football team’s 2008 game against Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Mass., along with hotel, airfare and travel accommodations.

Tickets can be purchased outside the Hammes Bookstore on Notre Dame’s campus on Friday, Nov. 16. Mail-in forms can be found in the softball section of und.com.

Tickets are $5 each and six can be purchased for $25.

Head coach Deanna Gumpf and her squad trekked through Italy from Oct. 19-28, while making stops in Rome, Florence and Venice.
