NOTRE DAME WOMEN’S BASKETBALL ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

In an amazing comeback win over a talented Mississippi State, the Notre Dame women’s basketball team won the national championship in dramatic fashion, 61-58.

For the second-straight Final Four game, Arike Ogunbowale sealed the win with a miraculous buzzer beater shot.

After a fast start, the Notre Dame women’s basketball team was eventually overwhelmed in the first half by a very quick Mississippi State Bulldog team.

In addition to the quickness the Bulldogs brought to the table, the Irish also had to deal with 6-foot-7 center Teaira McGowan — arguably the single most physically dominant player in women’s basketball.
