Fighting Irish to Face Tough Opponent in the Sweet 16

The Notre Dame women will be facing 2-seeded TCU in the Sweet 16 on Saturday in Women’s March Madness. The Fighting Irish got through Stephen F Austin and then Michigan to get to this point. Considering Notre Dame’s late-season slump before entering the tournament, point guard Hannah Hidalgo says she and her teammates are silencing the doubters. Head coach Niele Ivey said she knew her players would respond after that “tough stretch.”
