Lady Toppers ready to battle with Notre Dame

After opening its 2017 season with an upset over No. 16 Missouri in the Hawkeye Challenge last Friday, WKU now turns its attention to an even larger task.

The Lady Toppers (1-1 overall), fresh off their second-place finish in the tournament in Iowa City, Iowa, will host perennial powerhouse Notre Dame – the No. 6 team in the country – inside Diddle Arena on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

“It’s fantastic," WKU Athletic Director Todd Stewart said Monday. "I give Michelle [Clark] Heard credit for scheduling this game and I give Notre Dame and Muffet McGraw credit for playing it because it’s become a challenge for us to have good opponents come in here.
