The Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team took home the championship at the Vancouver Showcase over the Thanksgiving break. Now they are back home to face off against Iowa in the ACC/B1G Challenge on Thursday night. This will be the last tune up for the Irish before welcoming long time rival UConn to Purcell Pavilion over the weekend.
The Irish
Well the Irish took home a championship over the holiday weekend, but what they are really thankful for is the return of senior guard Marina Mabrey. In the championship game against No. 9 Oregon State on Saturday, Notre Dame had the big five of Mabrey, Arike Ogunbowale, Jackie Young, Brianna Turner, and Jessica Shepard, all starting for the first time together this season.
