As you all know, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Women’s Basketball Team pulled off two miraculous comebacks in the 2018 Final Four to win the 2018 National Championship. An incredible journey for Muffett McGraw, the team, the fans, and Arike Ogunbowale, who hit both game-winning shots.
A new season is upon us, and the Irish are now ranked Preaseason Number 1 in the AP Poll. They are ranked right above the UConn Huskies and then the Oregon Ducks, both teams that the Irish bested on the way to the National Championship. Louisville, the last team to beat Notre Dame (in the ACC Championship) is Number 5, and Mississippi State, the team the Irish beat in the final, clock in at number 6.
