No. 1 Notre Dame rolls past Miami 82-42, remains perfect in ACC

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP/WNDU) – Sonia Citron scored 19 points, Hannah Hidalgo added 18 and No. 1 Notre Dame rolled past Miami 82-42 on Thursday night.

Olivia Miles scored 14 and Liatu King finished with 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Fighting Irish (24-2, 15-0 ACC), who extended the nation’s second-longest active winning streak to 19 games (Grand Canyon has won 22 straight).

This one was over early. The Irish jumped out to a 10-0 lead, Miami (13-13, 3-12 ACC) answered with a 6-0 run, and Notre Dame answered that with a 13-0 burst.

Add it up, and it was 23-6 early in the second quarter.

The Irish, who entered the game 15th nationally in field goal percentage defense this season, forced Miami into a 3-for-24 start from the field. The Hurricanes missed their first nine shots, then made three in a row, and then missed their next 12 shots.

Notre Dame is now 47-0 in the Niele Ivey coaching era when holding opponents to 56 points or less.

The Irish face a huge test on Sunday in terms of maintaining their unbeaten conference record, as they travel to No. 13 NC State. The Woflpack (21-5, 13-2 ACC) currently sit in second place behind the Irish in the ACC standings.

Tipoff in Raleigh is set for 12 p.m. EST on ESPN.
