2025 Schedule

Season Outlook

Notre Dame Green Pond enters the 2025 season as the defending Colonial–Schuylkill White Division champion, coming off a 9–2 record in 2024. The program returns over 30 letterwinners and brings back an experienced, upperclassmen-heavy roster that has built strong chemistry and leadership. With depth across all position groups and momentum from a productive offseason, expectations are high for another successful campaign. The team’s JV team also showed promise last fall, contributing to a strong overall foundation. With continuity, experience, and a winning culture in place, Notre Dame is positioned to compete for another division title and make a deep run in the playoffs.
