YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown State men’s basketball will visit Notre Dame this upcoming season, according to a game contract obtained by The Vindicator as part of a records request.
The contest, set for Nov. 13, will be the fourth between the Irish and Penguins. YSU is 0-3 in those games. The teams last met in 2015, an 87-78 Irish victory.
YSU will be paid $85,000 for the game.
Two other game contracts were returned as part of the request.
Youngstown State will host Division III Geneva College on Nov. 10, and will pay Geneva $2,000 for the contest.
Additionally, the Penguins will make their return trip to Central Michigan on Dec. 21. The Chippewas played at the Beeghly Center last season on Dec. 8, an 84-77 YSU win. It will be the 11th meeting between the programs. CMU leads in head-to-head victories, 7-3.
Finally, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reported YSU will take part in Navy’s MTE from Nov. 18-20. In addition to the Midshipmen, Youngstown State will face UC San Diego as part of the three-team round robin.
