The last time these teams met was on Oct. 27, 2022, at St. Patrick, a game the Fighting Irish won 60-25. That lopsided result gives St. Patrick a recent edge on paper, but early-season games are often about establishing identity and rotations rather than final answers. Expect coaches to test lineups and for role players to get important minutes.
