March 13, 1999

South Bend-based WMHE radio (103.1 FM) has announced its broadcast plans for the night of March 13, 1999, when the Notre Dame women’s basketball and hockey teams will be playing with identical start times of 7:00 p.m. eastern.

The women’s basketball NCAA Tournament game versus Saint Mary’s (Calif.) College will be aired live on WHME and will be available live via the Notre Dame website (www.und.com). WHME will break into live hockey coverage whenever possible, including halftime of the women’s basketball game. The hockey broadcast then will be replayed in its entirety, immediately following the conclusion of the women’s basketball game.

Fans wishing to see the Notre Dame hockey team’s Saturday night CCHA playoff game versus Northern Michigan still may purchase tickets, by contacting the Notre Dame Ticket Office at (219) 631-7356. Tickets also may be purchased at gate three , beginning at 5:00 p.m.

As with all Notre Dame home hockey games, fans and media members can monitor the progress of Saturday’s Notre Dame-NMU game via live “real-time statistics”, accessible through the website at www.und.com.

Any further conflicts involving broadcasts of the Notre Dame women’s basketball, hockey and baseball teams will be evaluated on an individual basis. WHME is scheduled to air 36 of Notre Dame’s final 40 regular-season baseball games, including next week’s BIG EAST Conference opening series at West Virginia.
