The result? Notre Dame throttled the Red Devils 80-30 Tuesday night at Mount
Zion.

before allowing Notre Dame to take a 16-12 lead Calhoun seemed to run out of

Calhoun to 10 second half points.

nine. Josh DeWeese added 7 while Jacob Dodd and Andrew Norman chipped in
with six apiece. Justin Gerwig had two to round out the scoring.
