The Virginia Cavaliers fell to No. 19 Notre Dame 86-76 inside John Paul Jones Arena on Thursday evening, marking their sixth-consecutive loss and seventh in their past eight games.
After the ‘Hoos kept it close in the first half, freshman phenom Hannah Hidalgo (23 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds, 6 steals) and the Fighting Irish used a big third quarter to seemingly put the game out of reach. Virginia, however, came roaring back down the stretch, trimming the gap to as little as six points late in the fourth quarter before Notre Dame managed to ice the game at the free throw line.
