Notre Dame’s trio of Hannah Hidalgo, Iyana Moore, and Cassandre Prosper outscored Pitt by themselves with a combined 71 points. Hidalgo led the way offensively with another 30-point outing when her three-point shot was not falling. Prosper forced eight Pitt turnovers as she clamped the Panthers on the perimeter and down low, all while contributing 18 points on an efficient shooting night.

No. 19 Notre Dame (8-2) hit the road this weekend for a Sunday afternoon contest with the James Madison Dukes (8-3). The Irish, led by Cassandre Prosper’s 24 points and 15 team steals, were able to secure a 78-65 win over the feisty Dukes.

Coach Micah Shrewsberry and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish seem to be locked in, even following the recent loss of Markus Burton, with ACC play right around the corner. The Irish extended their winning streak to four games this Saturday with a fairly dominant 82-58 win at home against the Evansville Purple Aces.

Notre Dame’s offensive trio of Braeden Shrewsberry, Markus Burton, and Jalen Haralson led the way for the Irish with 49 of the Irish’s 68 points. The Irish had it going from deep, shooting 8/18 from three, while the Scarlet Knights were struggling to find the bottom of the basket. After yesterday’s loss to Kansas, it was apparent that team rebounding was an emphasis today, with four Irish players snagging at least four boards today, as they out-rebounded Rutgers 37-28.
