Notre Dame will only be facing Ohio State for the fourth time in their history, but when head coach Muffet McGraw looks over at the Buckeyes bench she’ll see a familiar face. OSU head coach Kevin McGuff is a former assistant of McGraw, and a key part of the coaching staff that helped bring Notre Dame win their first National Championship.
The two teams history is brief, with the Irish holding a 2-1 advantage in the series. Their last meeting was in 2012 when they met in the Carrier Classic, played on the deck of the USS Yorktown in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
