Notre Dame women’s basketball came just short of a repeat championship in 2019. A huge part of the efforts for the Irish was the play of Brianna Turner.
After tearing her ACL in the 2017 postseason, Turner missed Notre Dame’s National Championship run in 2018. Back as a graduate student this past season, Turner was nothing short of sensational.
Turner and teammate Jessica Shepard created a frontcourt duo that kept opposing coaches up at night. Turner’s size and mobility made her a force to be reckoned with around the basket on offense.
But it was her defensive prowess that garnered her the spotlight at Notre Dame.
