Head Coach Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2011

he announcement on July 10, 2010, may have made it official, but it really only confirmed what Notre Dame fans have known for a very long time — head coach Muffet McGraw is a Hall of Famer. McGraw, the 2001 consensus national coach of the year and winner of more than 600 games in her illustrious career, was one of six people — and the lone coach — named to the 2011 Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Class, as announced in Uncasville, Conn., during the “WNBA vs. USA Basketball: The Stars at the Sun Game” that was televised live nationally on ESPN from Mohegan Sun Arena. The others in McGraw’s Hall of Fame class include former Olympic gold medalists Ruthie Bolton (Auburn) and Vicky Bullett (Maryland), as well as Val Ackerman, the first WNBA president (19962005) and first female president of USA Basketball (2005-08), and a pair of three-time All-America players from the pre-NCAA era, Pearl Moore (Frances Marion) and Lometa Odom (Wayland Baptist). The ’11 class offically will be introduced at the 2010 State Farm Tip-Off Classic on Nov. 16 at the XL Center in Hartford, Conn., when Connecticut and Baylor meet at 6 p.m. (ET) on ESPN2. The group then will be enshrined June 10-12, 2011, during the 13th annual Induction Weekend at the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tenn. McGraw becomes the first Notre Dame selection for the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame. The Irish skipper also is the third BIG EAST Conference coach chosen for the honor, and also will be the ninth active college head coach to enter the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame on the basis of her success on the sidelines.

The University of Notre Dame When Father Edward F. Sorin started his school in the northern Indiana wilderness, he had only $300, three log buildings badly in need of repair and a far-sighted vision of establishing a liberal arts school to meet the growing educational needs of the frontier. He dreamed of building a great university, and in 1842, he founded the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Over the years, the University of Notre Dame du Lac would evolve into a preeminent place for Catholic thought. While becoming one of the top undergraduate institutions in the country, Notre Dame has also been at the cutting edge of research, including such innovations as the transmission of wireless messages and the development of synthetic rubber. The University also has stressed residential life, with four of five students living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame not only to learn how to think, but to learn how to live, keeping faith with the vision of Father Sorin.

From new facilities to the extensive renovation of existing ones, Notre Dame is committed to giving Irish athletes every edge imaginable. The plan will result in a drastically altered footprint on the southeast corner of campus, creating an athletics quad that will give every Irish athlete a place they will be proud to call home.

New facilities which have opened their doors in the past five years, including the Guglielmino Athletics Complex (housing football offices and locker room, a new weight room and new sports medicine facilities), the LaBar Practice Complex (featuring two Field Turf fields and one natural grass field) and Melissa Cook Stadium (home of the Irish softball team). Three facilities opened during the 2009-10 school year: Alumni Stadium (home to men’s and women’s soccer), Purcell Pavilion (renovation and expansion of men’s and women’s basketball arena) and Arlotta Family Stadium (home of men’s and women’s lacrosse).

26.3

Million dollars spent on Purcell Pavilion for additions and renovations to the Joyce Center Arena. Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center features a three-story addition with club seating, a hospitality area, additional area for restrooms and concessions, as well as new space for the Varsity Shop and the Notre Dame ticket office.

Facilities which are still on the master plan to create a comprehensive athletic quad. The hockey program, the tennis squads and the rowing team all will receive new facilities in the near future.

All Irish Women’s Basketball Games to be Broadcast Live on Radio in South Bend

RECORDS

For the 15th consecutive year, all Notre Dame women’s basketball games will be broadcast on commercial radio in South Bend. The 2010-11 season will be the third for the Irish on the LeSEA Broadcasting Network and South Bend stations Pulse FM (96.9/92.1), which reach a listening area of approximately 1.5 million people across northern Indiana and southwest Michigan. The official Notre Dame athletics web site (www.UND.com) also carries all Irish women’s basketball radio broadcasts, as well as free live video webcasts for selected home games not shown by commercial television (visit UND.com for updates on webcast dates). Bob Nagle is in his sixth season as the “Voice of the Fighting Irish”, with the veteran broadcaster having first manned the microphone from 1996-97 through 1998-99, then returning to that post in 2008. In that initial stint, Nagle described all the action of Notre Dame’s first NCAA Final Four appearance, as well as a run to the NCAA Sweet 16 the following year. He also was instrumental in covering the formative seasons of the legendary Irish senior class of 2001 that would culminate their careers with the program’s first national championship. A longtime sports broadcaster at WHME-TV 46 in South Bend and co-host of “Inside Notre Dame Sports,” a regular local magazine show devoted to Irish athletics, Nagle has been a well-known award-winning media personality in the South Bend community for more than two decades, and is in high demand as a banquet emcee and commercial spokesman. He also covers a myriad of high school sports for WHME-TV, including weekly live broadcasts of prep football and basketball.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

Irish on Television

Notre Dame Television Package Once Again Among Nation’s Best in 2010-11 The University of Notre Dame women’s basketball team will have a minimum of 21 games on television during the 2010-11 regular season, according to the full BIG EAST Conference television package and other arrangements announced Thursday. This year’s Irish TV slate, which includes seven national or regionally-televised contests and all 17 home games, is one of the most extensive in the program’s 34-year history and continues to put Notre Dame among the nation’s elite in terms of television coverage. It also will mark the 10th consecutive season that the Irish will have at least seven games on broadcast television. Notre Dame has made a total of 167 televised appearances in the past 10 seasons (2000-01 through 2009-10), and additional games this season could be selected to air on either a regional or local basis, with further announcements pending. The premier game on this year’s Irish television docket is the Jan. 8 matchup with defending national champion (and BIG EAST rival) Connecticut inside Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center, a game that will air live nationally on CBS at 2 p.m. (ET). Notre Dame will be seen on the Tiffany Network for the fourth time in program history, following a 1997 road game at Ohio State and two other home contests (2003 vs. Purdue, 2008 vs. Tennessee), with all three also coming in the month of January. What’s more, this year’s game with Connecticut is likely to be a sellout, which would mark the fourth time overall, and the third in four years that the Irish and Huskies would play inside a packed Purcell Pavilion. Notre Dame also has a pair of regular-season home games scheduled for the ESPN family of networks. The Irish will play host to in-state rival Purdue on Dec. 5, with the 2 p.m. (ET) contest to air live on ESPN2.

For the past several years, the BIG EAST Network Game of the Week has been carried in the South Bend market on WHME-TV (Channel 46), with clearances for this season still pending. Outside of commercial television agreements, Notre Dame tentatively is slated to show its remaining 13 home games (as well as its Nov. 3 exhibition against Michigan Tech) live free of charge on its official athletics web site, www.UND.com. This will mark the fifth consecutive season that selected Irish women’s basketball games have been webcast live on the Internet through the free All-Access package on UND. com, which consistently has been ranked as one of the top CBSSports. com College Network web sites in the country throughout the past Notre Dame has played regularly on the ESPN family of networks through the years, including 11 times decade. last season and three appearances on ESPN’s “Big Monday”.

n September 13, 2008, a new era in Notre Dame basketball got underway, as groundbreaking ceremonies for the new Purcell Pavilion, including the Joyce Center arena addition and renovation, were held to kick off the first phase of the two-year project to upgrade the home for Notre Dame basketball and volleyball. The first phase of the project, that began in September 2008, involved construction of the new three-story structure at the south end of the arena. That structure includes the new three-story Rosenthal Atrium, the Notre Dame Murnane Family Ticket Office (approximately 4,500 square feet) and a varsity shop to sell apparel and souvenirs (approximately 3,000 square feet), in addition to the new club seating and hospitality area. Replacement of the existing Purcell Pavilion/Joyce Center arena seating, including installation of chair-back seating throughout the arena, began following the University’s Commencement Exercises in May 2009 with the arena re-opening for competition in October 2009, just in time for the start of the men’s and women’s basketball seasons and the end of the volleyball season. This phase of the project was completed in January 2010. The University announced in October 2007 that the full $34.3 million project had received a $12.5 million leadership gift from Notre Dame alumnus and Trustee Philip J. Purcell III, the retired chairman and chief executive officer of Morgan Stanley. In November 2007, another major gift of $5 million from Notre Dame graduate Vincent J. Naimoli was announced. A third lead gift was received from Mike Leep Sr., a South Bend automobile dealership owner. The arena is now known as Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center — and the new club/hospitality area (and two outdoor patios) officially are named the Naimoli Family Club Room, but better known as “Club Naimoli”. The new

varsity shop also has been named the Mike Leep Sr. Varsity Shop. The new entrance will feature graphics and theming that highlight Notre Dame’s competing athletic programs. Changes to the interior of the Purcell Pavilion include: • New, blue chair-back seating from top to bottom of the arena, including all-new upper-arena sections. All seating has been replaced in the lower bowl (including platform seats), and the upper bowl has been transformed and replaced with treads and risers and permanent arena seats. The exchange of the upper-level bleacher sections for chair-back seats changed the capacity from its old configuration of 11,418 to its current total of 9,149. • The aforementioned “Club Naimoli” hospitality area (approximately 16,500 square feet) in the south end of the arena, with a separate, private entry and with premium club seating for nearly 800 fans. Included in this area are food service and restroom facilities. • New fixed concession areas, increased numbers of women’s restrooms and increased handicapped seating options. • Enhanced graphics and theming that highlight Notre Dame’s competing athletic programs were added along the interior of the upper concourse. • And the latest addition, a $6 million foursided LCD center-hung scoreboard, with similar LCD auxiliary message boards above all four court-level ramp entrances and a state-of-the-art sound system to incorporate these new technological advances. Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams previously moved into new locker rooms and team rooms within the Joyce Center prior to the 1999-2000 season. In 2005, both the men’s and women’s basketball programs moved into newly-constructed offices located adjacent to Gates 1-2. The women’s

In 1985, the Rolfs Aquatic Center opened on the east side of the Joyce Center. The 4.5-million-dollar facility houses a 50-meter Olympic-size pool (25 yards in width) and spectator seating for 400. In addition to these areas, the Joyce Center also contains the administrative and business side of the increasingly complex collegiate sports operation. Numerous offices are lodged inside, including those for coaches and athletic administrators, as well as media relations offices and facilities. These offices and facilities are located in a central complex that joins the two arenas and in general houses the people and machinery common to both. The spacious Heritage Hall concourse also is contained in this core area, as is a tastefully-appointed Monogram Room, surrounded by small meeting rooms. On the lower level of the concourse there are several thousand lockers, a faculty exercise room, a golf driving range, squash and handball courts and a central kitchen for catering and concessions. Among those notables who have appeared at the Joyce Center are six presidents — Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan (twice), George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush (twice) and Barack Obama — as well as entertainment legends Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Elton John and U2.

In recent seasons, the facility has been home to some of the largest women’s basketball crowds in the country, including the first 12 sellouts in school history (the latest coming on March 1, 2010 against top-ranked Connecticut). In addition, each of the 25 largest crowds ever to attend an Irish women’s basketball game have come within the past 11 seasons, and all during the tenure of head coach Muffet McGraw. Notre Dame has ranked among the top 20 in the nation in average attendance during each of the past nine seasons, finishing a school-record fourth in 2009-10 with a school-record 8,377 fans per game (and a program-high 142,412 total attendance). Such ardent fan support has helped the Irish built a daunting homecourt advantage. Notre Dame compiled a 51-game home winning streak from 1998-2002, the longest in school history and (at the time) the 10thlongest in NCAA history. The Irish also had a 25-game home winning streak from Feb. 2003-Dec. 2004. The north arena is the home of Irish ice hockey and is also a multipurpose sports center. Virtually every sport at Notre Dame — varsity, club or intramural — can play or practice in either the fieldhouse, the arena, the five auxiliary gymnasiums or the several work areas provided throughout the spacious building.

basketball office holds special significance, as part of the floor in its main reception area consists of the exact same court upon which Notre Dame won the 2001 NCAA championship at the Savvis Center in St. Louis. In its 43rd year of service to the University, the double-domed Joyce Center complex also acts as a multipurpose sports venue, a theatre and concert hall, a convention center and an office building. The building was renamed in 1987 to honor Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C., Notre Dame’s executive vice president from 1952 until his retirement in 1987. Formerly known simply as the Athletic and Convocation Center (ACC), the structure is now referred to as the Joyce Center. Designed by Ellerbe Architects of St. Paul, Minn., the Joyce Center was conceived at the outset as a combination athletic-civic center, and $1.8 million alone was contributed by persons in the Michiana area. The Center’s distinctive domes, covered with a white vinyl roofing material stretched over steel ribbing, rise just east of Notre Dame’s iconic football stadium. The Joyce Center complex is both wider and longer than the famous stadium and encloses more area than Houston’s Astrodome (once termed the Eighth Wonder of the World). In all, the structure covers 10 acres of ground. The south arena’s design makes it capable of doubling as a basketball court and a 9,000-

The 2010-11 season will be Notre Dame’s second in the refurbished Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center. With a capacity of 9,149, Purcell Pavilion now features chairback from floor to ceiling with premium courtside seating, a premium upper level club room on the south end of the facility, expanded concourses and concession stands, and a unique two-toned maple hardwood floor design, highlighted by a distinctive shamrock and interlocking ND at center court.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

Irish Basketball from A-Z ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICANS – Notre Dame ranks second all-time in the number of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-Americans produced since 1952. Entering the 201011 school year, 216 student-athletes at the University have earned Academic All-America recognition throughout the years, including five women’s basketball players. During the past 11 years, Notre Dame has fielded more Academic All-Americans (90) than any other university or college, including two women’s basketball players: center Ruth Riley who earned first-team Academic All-America honors for the third consecutive year in 2001, and guard Megan Duffy, who also was a first-team Academic All-America pick in 2006. Maggie Lally, a four-year letterwinner with the women’s basketball program from 1978-81, was Notre Dame’s first female Academic All-American, earning second-team honors in both 1980 and 1981. Notre Dame women’s basketball alumnae Shari Matvey and Mary Beth Schueth, also second-team honorees in 1981 and 1983, respectively, join Lally on the Academic All-America list. ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN OF THE YEAR – In addition to becoming just the fifth Notre Dame studentathlete to be a three-year Academic All-American, Ruth Riley also joined football center Tim Ruddy (1993), women’s soccer goalkeeper Jen Renola (1996-97 fall/ winter “at-large” sports) and men’s basketball forward Pat Garrity (1997) as the fourth Irish student-athlete to be named Academic All-American of the Year for a respective sport or program. Riley — an eight-time dean’s list student who graduated with a 3.64 GPA as a psychology and sociology major — then earned the highest honor in the nation, as the Academic AllAmerican of the Year for all Division I sports (other finalists included Purdue quarterback Drew Brees and Duke men’s basketball player Shane Battier). Riley recently completed her 10th season in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and her fourth with the San Antonio Silver Stars. ASSOCIATED PRESS ALL-AMERICANS – Ten Notre Dame women’s basketball players have earned Associated Press All-America honors. Beth Morgan and Katryna Gaither, who finished their Irish careers first and second, respectively, on the Irish career scoring list, were the school’s first two All-Americans as they copped honorable mention honors in both 1996 and 1997. As a sophomore, Ruth Riley was a third-team AP selection in 1999 and she then became the first-ever first-team AP All-American in Notre Dame history (in 2000, and again in 2001). Alicia Ratay was a two-time AP All-American, garnering honorable mention laurels in 2000 and 2002. Niele Ivey became the program’s fifth AP All-American, earning third-team honors after her stellar 2000-01 season. Jacqueline Batteast, was a two-time AP All-America choice, picking up honorable mention recognition in 2003-04 and third-team laurels in 2004-05, while Megan Duffy was a two-time AP honorable mention All-America choice in ’04-05 and ’05-06. Charel Allen picked up honorable mention accolades in 2007-08, before Skylar Diggins and Lindsay Schrader did likewise in 2009-10. ATTENDANCE – Notre Dame has ranked in the top 20 in the nation in home attendance each of the past 10 seasons, averaging 6,376 in 2000-01, 7,825 in 2001-02, 7,132 fans in 2002-03; 6,650 fans in 2003-04; 5,830 fans in 2004-05; 6,601 fans in 2005-06; 6,364 fans in 200607; 7,016 fans in 2007-08, 7,168 fans in 2008-09 and a school-record 8,377 fans last year, representing the 10 highest single-season averages in the program’s history. All told, each of the 25 biggest Irish women’s basketball

In addition, Notre Dame has welcomed crowds of 5,000 fans or more to 141 of its last 143 home games (the only two not on the list came in the final two rounds of the 2004 Preseason WNIT vs. Duke and Ohio State, when the location of games wasn’t announced until 48 hours before tipoff and no pre-sale tickets were allowed). BIG EAST CONFERENCE – Notre Dame took a landmark step on July 1, 1995, when the Irish officially became a member of the BIG EAST Conference. Notre Dame had been a member of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now known as the Horizon League) for women’s basketball and most of its Olympic sports for a number of years, and the Irish also have held various league affiliations in hockey and men’s lacrosse. The entry into the BIG EAST, however, marked the first time that the Irish men’s basketball program had any type of conference affiliation. The announcement of the BIG EAST’s invitation to Notre Dame came on July 10, 1994. The BIG EAST currently sponsors championships in 22 sports, with Notre Dame participating in all but one of them (field hockey, which the school does not offer). Since the 1995-96 school year, its first as a league member, the Irish have won 106 conference titles, raising the bar to a new level in 2005-06 with a conference-record 13 team titles. CONFERENCE COMMAND – Notre Dame posted a 18860 (.758) record in regular-season BIG EAST Conference games during its first 15 seasons in the BIG EAST (1996-2010), holding the second-best regular-season winning percentage of any school in conference history. Throughout their 33-year history, the Irish own an all-time record of 318-86 (.787) in regular-season conference games, including 43-11 in five seasons of North Star Conference play (1983-88) and 87-15 in seven Midwestern Collegiate Conference seasons (1988-95).

DETROIT SHOCK – Thanks to three Notre Dame graduates, the WNBA’s Detroit Shock went from “worst to first” in 2003, winning the league championship and coming back to do it all over again in 2006. Center Ruth Riley, who won an NCAA title with the Irish in 2001, started for Detroit during both of their championship runs and was instrumental in the Shock’s three-game series win in the 2003 WNBA Finals over the two-time champion Los Angeles Sparks. In fact, Riley poured in a careerhigh 27 points in the third and deciding game and was rewarded for her efforts by being named the Finals MVP. That made Riley the first and only women’s basketball ever to be named the Most Valuable Player of the Finals at both the college and professional levels. Forward Jacqueline Batteast helped Detroit hoist the hardware again in 2006, coming over to the squad from Minnesota via a pre-season trade and lending significant contributions in a reserve role. The other Notre Dame connection in Detroit’s championship seasons was its head coach — 1979 ND graduate Bill Laimbeer. The former Irish standout was a two-time NBA champion with the legendary “Bad Boys” Detroit Pistons and assumed the head coaching duties with the WNBA’s Shock midway through the 2002 season. He also led Detroit to a third WNBA title in 2008 before resigning a year later. FINAL FOUR – Notre Dame’s magical 1997 campaign culminated with the Irish earning a first-ever appearance in the NCAA Final Four. The event was held in Cincinnati, Ohio, and played at the 16,714-seat Riverfront Coliseum (now called U.S. Bank Arena), with Xavier University serving as the host school. The other Final Four participants that year were eventual national champion Tennessee, Old Dominion and Stanford. The Irish lost their semifinal matchup to the Lady Vols, 80-66. Notre Dame returned to the Final Four in 2001, playing in front of sellout crowds (20,551) at the Savvis (now Scottrade) Center in St. Louis (with the Missouri Valley Conference serving as tournament host). The Irish staged the largest comeback in Final Four history (16 points) to post a

NCAA LEADERS – Ruth Riley became the first Notre Dame women’s basketball player to rank first in an NCAA statistical category, as she led the nation during the 1998-99 campaign in field-goal percentage (schoolrecord .683). Riley also finished with a .632 career field goal percentage, currently tied for 10th in the NCAA record book. Former Irish shooting guard Alicia Ratay graduated in 2003 with a .476 career shooting percentage from three-point range, which broke the old NCAA record (.467) set by 1993 Harvard graduate Erin Maher. Ratay also led the nation in three-point percentage in 2000-01 (.547), setting an NCAA record for long-range efficiency by a sophomore. What’s more, Ratay ranks ninth in NCAA history with an .872 career free throw percentage, making her the only player in NCAA Division I annals to rank among the top 10 in both foul shooting and three-point shooting. As a team, the 1999-2000 Notre Dame squad ranked among the national Top 10 for field-goal percentage (second, .501), three-point percentage (third, .402) and field-goal percentage defense (sixth, .355).

Diggins became the first future Irish player to earn MVP honors at the McDonald’s game, scoring a gamehigh 18 points, while adding five rebounds and three steals for the East team, which lost to its West counterpart, 69-68, in Coral Gables, Fla. Diggins also won the Powerade Jam Fest Girls’ 3-Point Shootout title the day before the McDonald’s game.

The Irish defeated three sixthranked teams during the streak, downing UCLA and Illinois in 1998-99, and defeating Purdue in 2000-01. The magical run finally came to an end in the final regularseason game of the 2001-02 season, when Villanova edged Notre Dame, 48-45. Undaunted, the Irish built up a 25-game winning streak (second-longest in Notre Dame history) from 2003-04, that ended with an 82-73 overtime loss to Michigan State on Dec. 2, 2004.

HARDWARE HAUL – Notre Dame’s Ruth Riley collected plenty of awards to fill her trophy case, making her possibly the most-decorated student-athlete (in terms of number and variety of awards) in Notre Dame athletics history. Most notably, Riley was named the 2000-01 national player of the year by the Naismith Foundation and the Associated Press (among others) while also earning the nation’s top academic award, as the Academic All-American of the Year for all Division I sports (as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America). She averaged 19 points and eight rebounds per game in 2000-01 before graduating with a 3.64 grade-point average as a psychology and sociology major. Riley became just the fifth Notre Dame studentathlete – and the third in 35 years – to earn Academic All-America honors during three years and she is the only Notre Dame basketball player – men’s or women’s – to be a first team AP All-American and a first team Academic All-American. Her trophy haul also included a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and she became the first Notre Dame student-athlete to receive Notre Dame’s Kanaley Award and Christopher Zorich Award in the same year. The Kanaley Award recognizes senior student-athletes who have been exemplary as students and leaders while the Zorich Award recognizes contributions to the University and the community. Riley – who also received one of the NCAA’s prestigious Top VIII Awards in December 2001 – is one of 22 all-time Notre Dame student-athletes to be named AllAmerica and Academic All-America while also earning a postgraduate scholarship. She is one of six from that group to also help their teams win national championships, while Riley and women’s soccer goalkeeper Jen Renola (’95) are the only ND student-athletes ever to lead their teams to a national title while also earning All-America, Academic All-America, NCAA postgraduate scholarship and the Kanaley Award (Renola is ND’s only other recipient of the NCAA Top VIII Award). Riley also was named national player of the year by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, Sports Illustrated, Women’s Basketball Journal and Basketball Times while being recognized as the BIG EAST Conference Player of the Year, earning her third consecutive BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year honor and being named the BIG EAST Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. A consensus first team All-American, she also was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2001 NCAA Midwest Regional and the 2001 NCAA Final Four.

In 2005, Megan Duffy won a gold medal with the USA World University Games Team, starting all seven games while helping the Americans to a 97.4 ppg. scoring average and a U.S.-record +43.1 ppg. winning margin. Duffy herself averaged 6.1 points and 2.1 assists per game, registering team-high scoring totals against the Czech Republic (14 points) and Poland (13 points). Former Notre Dame All-America center Ruth Riley celebrated her 25th birthday in style on Aug. 28, 2004, as she and her U.S. Olympic teammates defeated Australia, 74-63, to win the gold medal at the Athens Olympics. Riley became one of just six players in women’s basketball history to win an NCAA, WNBA and Olympic title. She played in seven of Team USA’s eight games during the 2004 Olympics, averaging 3.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game. Beth Morgan, Notre Dame’s all-time leading scorer, was the first Irish women’s basketball player to compete in the World University Games after being the first player named to a USA Women’s basketball squad. In 1997, she played on the World University Games team which captured the gold medal in Italy. In addition, Skylar Diggins won her third gold medal in as many years in 2009, helping the United States U19 World Championship take top honors at

the FIBA U19 Worlds in Thailand. Ironically, just as Riley did five years earlier at the Athens Olympics, Diggins earned her U19 gold on her 19th birthday (Aug. 2). Most recently, incoming freshman guard Kayla McBride earned a gold medal with Team USA at the 2010 FIBA U18 Americas Championship in Colorado Springs.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

THREE-POINT FLURRY – Former Irish shooting guard Alicia Ratay turned in a memorable long-distance shooting performance versus Rutgers as a freshman, lifting the Irish to a 78-74 overtime win on Feb. 19, 2000, at RU’s Louis Brown Athletic Center. Ratay set a BIG EAST record for three-point field goals and three-point percentage in that game, connecting on all seven of her shots from beyond the arc en route to a 26-point game. Adding to that impressive efficiency was the fact that two of her three-pointers came in the final 17 seconds of regulation – after the Irish had trailed 65-59 – sending the game into overtime. Her three-pointer with 0:17 left forged a 65-62 game and Rutgers misfired from the line on a one-and-one chance before Ratay delivered again with just four ticks on the clock, draining a shot from the top of the key with the Rutgers defense closing in. The three-pointers were Ratay’s only shots from the floor during the entire game and she also made five of six free throws, including two with 22 seconds left in overtime as the Irish rallied to the win after earlier squandering a 19-point lead.

Alicia Ratay’s three-point barrage in a 2000 overtime win at Rutgers, including her two treys in the final 17 seconds of regulation, remains one of the greatest moments in Notre Dame women’s basketball history. national championship Irish squad led the nation in three-point percentage (.464) and field-goal percentage defense (.336) while ranking second in scoring margin (+21.4 ppg) and fifth in both fewest points allowed per game (55.8) and field-goal percentage (.497). In 2001-02, Notre Dame ranked second in blocked shots (6.3 bpg.) and sixth in field-goal percentage defense (.349). PLAYER DEVELOPMENT – Perhaps no women’s basketball program in America can equal the success in developing players into high-caliber athletes that Notre Dame has enjoyed during the last 16 seasons. The Irish have had at least one All-American at all five floor positions during that time (PG Niele Ivey and Megan Duffy; SG Alicia Ratay, Charel Allen and Skylar Diggins; SF Beth Morgan, Jacqueline Batteast and Lindsay Schrader; PF Katryna Gaither; C Ruth Riley), and four have gone on to earn other major national honors during their career. Riley was the consensus 2001 national player of the year, while Ivey and Duffy were the ’01 and ’06 Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award winners (top senior 5-8 and under) and Batteast was the 2002 USBWA National Freshman of the Year. RECRUITING REWARDS – Notre Dame has reaped the benefits of some of the top recruiting classes in the country over the past 14 years. During that time (199798 to present), the Irish have attracted Top 25 classes each season. This year’s incoming group is ranked as high as eighth in the nation, according to ESPN Hoopgurlz. Notre Dame’s stellar recruiting efforts are coordinated by associate head coach Jonathan Tsipis and assistant coach Niele Ivey.

TOURNAMENT TESTED – Notre Dame has felt right at home in tournament situations during the past 14 years. Starting with the 1997-98 season, the Irish have won 18 of their last 20 regular-season tournament games, including a four-game run to the 2004 Preseason WNIT title and a three-game sprint to the 2009 Paradise Jam crown. The only Irish losses during this current stretch werea 67-63 overtime setback at No. 20 Colorado on Nov. 15, 2003 in the finals of the WBCA Classic —- a game that saw the Buffaloes sink a desperation 30-footer at the end of regulation to force the extra session — and a 75-59 loss at Maryland on Nov. 16, 2007, in the semifinals of the Preseason WNIT. 20-WIN SEASONS – The Notre Dame women’s basketball program has posted 20-plus wins in 16 of the past 17 seasons and in 20 of 23 seasons during the tenure of head coach Muffet McGraw. In fact, McGraw is tied for 10th in NCAA Division I history with 22 20-win campaigns (including two during her five-year tenure at Lehigh University from 1982-87). TWO THOUSAND CLUB – Beth Morgan and Katryna Gaither, who led the Irish to the 1997 NCAA Final Four, proved to be the most prolific scoring combination in Notre Dame and NCAA history, as the duo combined for 4,448 points and 1,608 rebounds from 1993-97. They are the first two players from the same team in NCAA history to each score more than 2,000 career points. Morgan finished as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 2,322 points while Gaither ended her career second on the scoring (2,126) chart and third on the rebounding (986) list. They were joined in 2001 by Ruth Riley (2,072 points and 1,006 rebounds), who became the first player to have 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her career. WINNING NEVER GETS OLD – Notre Dame has won 343 games (24.5 per season) during the past 14 seasons (1996-97 to 2009-10), representing the seventh-most wins of any school in the country during that span. Here’s where the Irish rank in terms of their wins since 1996-97:

WOMEN’S NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (WNBA) – Notre Dame has seen seven of its players taken in the WNBA Draft during the past 10 seasons, including 2008 All-America guard Charel Allen, who was a third-round choice that year (43rd overall) by the Sacramento Monarchs, where she helped that squad advance to the ’08 Western Conference playoffs. In 2001, Ruth Riley was a first-round pick (fifth overall) by the Miami Sol, while Niele Ivey went in the second round to the Indiana Fever and Kelley Siemon was a third-round choice of the Los Angeles Sparks. When the Miami franchise folded in December 2002, Riley was the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Dispersal Draft, going to the Detroit Shock, whom she promptly led to the ‘03 and ’06 league championships. The following year (2007), Riley was traded to the San Antonio Silver Stars, leading that franchise to three consecutive playoff berths, including a spot in the Western Conference finals in ’07 and then on to the WNBA Finals (for the first time in team history) in 2008. Meanwhile, Ivey spent four seasons with Indiana before signing with Detroit as a free agent during the 2005 off-season and moving on to the Phoenix Mercury later in the ’05 season. Siemon elected to forgo a professional career to begin a stint with Athletes in Action and later an assistant coaching career at Liberty University (Lynchburg, Va.). Her teammate, Ericka Haney was taken in the third round of the 2002 WNBA Draft (47th overall) by the Detroit Shock and played professionally for three seasons before following Siemon into the coaching ranks, currently at Pine Crest (Fla.) School. Former All-America point guard Megan Duffy was chosen in the third round (31st overall) of the 2006 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx. She spent two seasons there before signing with the New York Liberty as a free agent in 2008. Duffy’s former All-America teammate with the Irish, Jacqueline Batteast was a 2005 second-round selection (17th overall) by the Minnesota Lynx. After one season in the upper Midwest, Batteast was traded to the Detroit Shock, where she teamed with Riley to help bring a second WNBA title to the Motor City. In 2004, Coquese Washington retired after six seasons in the league, a career highlighted by a WNBA title with the Houston Comets in 2000. Former Irish AllAmericans Beth Morgan (Cunningham) and Katryna Gaither also spent time in the WNBA during its infancy from 1999-2000. (DOUBLE) ZERO – The jersey number worn by Ruth Riley during her Notre Dame career from 1997-2001. Riley has experienced success at both the college and professional ranks, and remains one of the sport’s greatest ambassadors, currently spending her off-season as a spokesperson for Nothing But Nets, a charitable group that raises money for bed netting that helps stop the spread of malaria in Africa.

Season Preview

Notre Dame Seeks To Forge New Identity In 2010-11 Fighting Irish looking to build on their storied past and create a new path for the future.

rom grains of sand on a beach in the summer to snowflakes that serenely flutter through the winter sky, there are numerous things in the world that are unique. Take a closer look at them and you’ll see that each grain of sand and each snowflake has a look all its own — no two are ever exactly alike. In many ways, college basketball follows that same pattern. From season to season, each team develops its own identity based on the personnel that put on the uniform that particular year. The faces change as veterans depart and rookies arrive, new bonds and fresh chemistry are forged, and sometimes, new offensive or defensive styles are implemented. As the season goes along, each team follows its own path, perhaps influenced by the twists and turns of the schedule, or maybe altered by injuries or other unforeseen circumstances. Consequently, college basketball ends up like the grain of sand or the snowflake, in that no two seasons are ever the same. The Notre Dame women’s basketball program is a prime example of this phenomenon. Under the guidance of 24th-year head coach and 2011 Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame selection Muffet McGraw, the Fighting Irish have had unique experiences each and every season. They have had large rosters with plenty of depth, and benches so short

that the student manager has had to suit up. They have played in front of huge crowds of more than 20,000 fans, and taken the floor in front of barely enough fans to count on one hand. They have had teams than were oriented in a methodical half-court style built on the foundation of a traditional lineup, and other squads that look like they’ve downed three cups of double-espresso with a Red Bull chaser, running and gunning while featuring incredible versatility at all positions. At the end of it all, one of the reasons why McGraw is headed for Hall of Fame enshrinement next June is her innate ability to adapt to her personnel, whether it be changes on the roster or changes on her coaching staff. While she appreciates history and the lessons that can be learned from previous seasons, McGraw also understands that reflecting on past accomplishments (like last year’s 29-6 record, top-10 ranking and trip to the NCAA Sweet 16) and lingering on missed opportunities (a last-second overtime loss to Oklahoma in that Sweet 16 game) can take one’s focus away from looking at the season ahead. “I really thought that we had a great year (in 2009-10),” McGraw said. “I felt that overall, we really did a lot of good things all year. We played well together and created a lot of positives. When you look back at the few losses that we had, I’m not sure that we could have expected a better record during the season.”

With that momentous chapter in Fighting Irish women’s basketball history now securely locked in the archives, the page turns to 201011, and the potential exists for yet another unique season unlike any in the program’s 34-year odyssey. Gone is a five-player senior class that accounted for nearly 55 percent of the team’s offensive production, including three 1,000-point starters and team captains. However, Notre Dame returns two other starters in ultra-talented All-America sophomore guard Skylar Diggins and versatile senior forward/co-captain Becca Bruszewski, brings back a fully-healed senior forward Devereaux Peters (who missed parts of the past three seasons with two ACL injuries and rehab) and a veteran leader in senior guard/co-captain Brittany Mallory, and mixes in an athletic three-player freshman class that is ranked as high as eighth in the country by ESPN Hoopgurlz. In fact, athleticism and versatility have been growing traits for Fighting Irish teams in recent seasons, with last year’s club ranking among the national leaders in steals (4th – 12.9 spg.), assists (6th – 18.1 apg.), turnover margin (9th – 6.29), assist/turnover ratio (10th – 1.11), scoring (11th - 77.2 ppg.), scoring margin (13th – 14.9 ppg.) and field goal percentage (16th - .454). With an attractive transition game fueled by a relentless pressure defense that set school records for steals (450) and

ference performance that saw her average nearly 10 points and four rebounds per game with a three-point percentage of better than 36 percent. However, as the season wore on, the continuing recovery period from the knee injury seemed to take a toll on the scoring output by the Baltimore resident, who remained a threat from the perimeter (28 three-point field goals, .308 3FG%) as well as one of the team’s top defenders with a career-high 61 steals. It’s often been said that it takes two years for a player to return to full strength after a significant knee injury, and now that she has had a full off-season of workouts and is nearly 24 months removed from surgery, Mallory is likely to continue the upward trend she showed during the first half of last season. A versatile guard who can play at the point as well as the shooting guard spot, she understands the team’s offensive and defensive schemes as well as anyone, with the intrinsic ability to read opposing defenses and move well without the ball. As one of the team’s co-captains, her expertise at both ends of the court will be critical to Notre Dame’s success in 2010-11. “Brittany is going to be the glue on our team,” McGraw said. Senior guard and co-captain Brittany Mallory brings toughness and basketball savvy to the floor for Notre Dame, having played both backcourt positions in her career while emerging as both a strong “I think that she is going to be defensive presence (career-high 61 steals last year) and one of the team’s top three-point threats the player that you really hate (28 treys in 2009-10). as one of Notre Dame’s primary reserves durto take out of the game because ing the latter half of the campaign. of what she does chemistry-wise.

rookie in NCAA postseason play, while her 13 field goals made tied the program record for an NCAA tournament game. In 2009-10, Diggins set Notre Dame freshman records for steals (90), free throws made (111), free throws attempted (142) and minutes played (1,028), while ranking among the top five on the Fighting Irish rookie charts for points (3rd - 484), scoring average (tied/4th 13.8 ppg.), field goals made (3rd - 169), field goals attempted (3rd - 385), three-point field goals made (4th - 35), three-point attempts (5th - 100), three-point percentage (5th .350), assists (3rd - 112), steals per game (2nd - 2.6 spg.), games started (tied/2nd - 30), games played (2nd - 35) and minutes per game (5th - 29.4). Diggins’ game can’t truly be quantified, as she mixes a scorer’s mentality with excellent court vision and passing skills before adding quick hands and athleticism on defense to create havoc at both ends of the floor. Although in just her second season at the college level, she plays like a veteran and has earned the respect of not only her teammates and coaches, but much of the college basketball community for her work ethic, her uncanny ability to seemingly will a team to victory and her passion for the game. As much as anything, it’s these qualities that make her one of the true rising stars in the country. “I was so happy with what Skylar did for us last year,” McGraw said. “She made us better defensively and pretty much met all of our expectations and exceeded some. I thought that she really made a difference in our team and in the success that we had. “She is going to have a completely different role on the team (this year) because she will have the ball in her hands more of the time at the point,” McGraw added. “She is going to run the team and run our offense. She is going to continue to be the defender who gets up on the ball and really starts our defense. Everything begins with her, especially on the defensive side, which we expect to be better at. I think we are going to be a much better team and I expect she is going to score more than she did last year. But with all the weapons that we have, there are going to be a lot of different people that lead us in scoring.” Two of the other expected scoring threats for Notre Dame are a pair of wings in senior Brittany Mallory and junior Natalie Novosel. In her first full season coming off a torn ACL early in 2008-09, Mallory (6.5 ppg., 3.0 rpg., 2.3 apg.) played in all 35 games, storming from the gate with a strong pre-con-

Fighting Irish, only to be slowed by ACL injuries. Unbowed, the Chicago native has shown exceptional determination and fortitude in battling to get back on the floor following her setbacks. She got a late start to the 2009-10 season while she finished up rehabilitating from her second knee surgery in less than two years. However, once she was cleared to play, Peters was a major contributor off the bench for Notre Dame in the final 25 games of the year, averaging 6.7 points per game, while ranking second on the team with 5.6 rebounds per game and leading the squad with 1.2 blocks per game (30 total).

Coaching Staff

Led by Hall of Fame head coach Muffet McGraw, Notre Dame has proven that, without compromise, it is possible to achieve the highest degree of athletic and academic excellence. In her 23 seasons, the Fighting Irish have won more than 71 percent of their games, while also graduating all 62 players who have completed their eligibility with the program.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

Head Coach

Muffet McGraw Saint Joseph’s (Pa.) ’77 24th Season 29th Season Overall 525-203 (.721) 613-244 (.715) “If we searched for an entire year, I don’t think we would find anyone better suited for our program.” With those words, former Notre Dame athletics director Gene Corrigan announced the hiring of Muffet McGraw as the third head coach of the Irish women’s basketball program on May 18, 1987. Corrigan may not have realized it at the time, but he also ushered in an era of unparalleled success in women’s basketball at Notre Dame, brought to life on the shoulders of a 5-foot-6 dynamo who accepts nothing less than the very best from herself, her players and her program. Ask anyone familiar with women’s basketball about McGraw and her Notre Dame program and inevitably, you’ll hear the same two words -- consistency and excellence. And it’s no wonder, when you consider what McGraw and the Irish have achieved in the past 23 seasons: • The 2001 NCAA Championship, defeating Purdue in the title game, 68-66. McGraw is one of only eight active Division I coaches to guide her team to a national title. • Two trips to the NCAA Final Four (1997 and 2001). McGraw is one of just 15 active Division I coaches to lead her team to multiple Final Four appearances. • Eight NCAA Sweet 16 trips, all in the past 14 seasons. The Irish are one of only 10 programs in the nation that can make that claim. • 20 seasons with 20-or-more victories, including 16 in the past 17 seasons. • 17 NCAA Tournament appearances, including a current string of 15 consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. During the present 15-year streak, Notre Dame has won at least one NCAA postseason game 13 times. • 66 wins over ranked opponents, including 56 in the past 12 seasons alone (an average of 4.67 per year during that span). In addition, 20 of those wins vs. ranked teams have come against top-10 opponents. • 197 appearances in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, putting McGraw 13th among active Division I coaches on that list (as of the end of the 200910 season). Notre Dame also has spent 95 weeks ranked among the top 10 teams in the nation, all in the past 13 seasons. • 12 top-four finishes in the BIG EAST Conference during Notre Dame’s 15 years in that league. The Irish also won a share of the 2001 BIG EAST regular-season title. • 14 consecutive top-20 recruiting classes, dating back to the incoming class of 1997. Notre Dame is one of just three programs in the nation that currently owns a streak of that length. • Ranks among the top 20 active NCAA Division I coaches with 613 career wins (reaching the 600-win milestone on Jan. 19, 2010, at Louisville in her 839th game, tying for 10th-fastest to 600 wins in Division I history) and a .715 all-time winning percentage. • One of only five coaches in the 124-year history of Fighting Irish athletics to win 500 games at

Notre Dame, tying for fourth all-time with fencing’s Yves Auriol (525-33 from 1986-2002) and standing behind only baseball coach Jake Kline (558-449-5 from 1934-75), men’s tennis/wrestling coach Tom Fallon (579-268-4 combined from 1952-87) and Michael DeCicco (680-45 from 1962-86). • A perfect 100-percent graduation rate for all players entering the program since 1987 who have completed their athletic and academic eligibility at Notre Dame (a spotless 62-for-62 success rate). The Irish have posted a perfect 100-percent NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) score in each of the past four years, and they are one of only five programs in the country to combine a perfect GSR score with a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 twice within the past three seasons (2008 and 2010). Add it all up and you have the framework for a Hall of Fame career. And, on July 10, 2010, that’s exactly what McGraw became, as she was named to the six-person Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2011. McGraw officially will become the Hall’s first Notre Dame representative when she is inducted during Enshrinement Weekend activities June 10-12, 2011, in Knoxville, Tenn. Still, with all of those accomplishments in hand, McGraw has shown no signs of slowing down any time soon. In July 2008, the veteran head coach signed a contract extension that will keep her patrolling the Irish sidelines through the 2014-15 campaign. “For more than 20 years, Muffet has led our program with integrity and passion, and, of course, to much success,” said Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame’s president. “As we look forward to many more years together, I am confident that the excellence she has achieved on and off the court will continue.” In 2009-10, McGraw led Notre Dame to one of its finest seasons ever, as the Fighting Irish posted a 29-6 record and advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 for the eighth time in the past 14 seasons. What’s more, Notre Dame was ranked among the top 10 teams in the country virtually throughout the season, peaking at No. 3 in the land, and extending the program’s streak of consecutive Associated Press poll appearances to 58 weeks, just one shy of the school record set from 1998-2002. In addition, the Fighting Irish ended the year ranked among the top 16 teams in the nation in eight NCAA statistical categories — steals (4th - 12.9 spg.), assists (6th - 18.1 apg.), turnover margin (9th - 6.29), assist/turnover ratio (10th - 1.11), scoring offense (11th - 77.2 ppg.), scoring

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

margin (13th - 14.9 ppg.), won-loss percentage (14th - .829) and field goal percentage (16th - .454). As if that weren’t enough, Notre Dame won the 2009 Paradise Jam Island Division title, opened with a 15-game winning streak (the second-best start in program history) and set single-season school records for steals (450), turnovers forced (791) and

wins at home (16), while also collecting six wins over ranked opponents (four coming away from home). Furthermore, the Fighting Irish finished a programbest fourth in the country in attendance this season with an average of 8,377 fans per game (easily the best in school history, surpassing the old mark of 7,825 in 2001-02), its 10th consecutive top-20 attendance ranking, and Notre Dame had six sellout crowds (and three others within 350 fans of a sellout)

gave McGraw a unique distinction -- she has earned coach-of-the-year honors in all four conferences with which she has been associated during her head coaching tenure (the East Coast Conference, North Star Conference, Midwestern Collegiate Conference and BIG EAST). ••• McGraw has led the Irish to all 17 of their NCAA Tournament appearances, the first coming in 1992 and the second in 1994. Yet, Notre Dame’s first NCAA Tournament win didn’t come until after it joined the BIG EAST Conference in 1996 when, as the 12th seed in the Midwest region, the Irish stunned fifth-seeded and 15th-ranked Purdue, 73-60, in Lubbock, Texas. The success of that 1995-96 campaign and a 23-8 record earned McGraw national recognition as well, as she was named the WBCA District II Coach of the Year. One season later, McGraw and the Irish made an even bigger national statement, going all the way to the Final Four. Notre Dame compiled a gaudy 31-7 record (at the time the most wins in school history) and the first 30-win season in the program’s history. Also, for the first time ever, the Irish were ranked in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls from the preseason until the end of the year. Notre Dame earned its first-ever top 10 ranking at the end of November and achieved all-time high finishes in both final polls, finishing fifth in the ESPN/USA Today rankings and 15th in the AP poll. McGraw and the Irish got to the 1997 NCAA Final Four the hard way, beating three consecutive ranked opponents on the road. In its NCAA first-round game in Austin, Texas, Notre Dame cruised to a 93-62 victory over Memphis. Its second round contest

poured into achieving that goal has me convinced that we’re just scratching the surface of what we can accomplish in the next few years.” ••• To be sure, the night of April 1, 2001 is one McGraw and the Irish faithful will never forget. On that memorable Sunday evening in St. Louis, Notre Dame defeated Purdue 68-66 as McGraw’s 14th Irish team won the school’s first NCAA women’s basketball championship. It was the second Final Four appearance in five years for McGraw’s troops, who became the only NCAA champion to erase double-figure deficits in both of its Final Four contests. Having coached the Irish to their best ever regular-season record at 26-1 and a school-record 34 wins (the second 30-win campaign in school history), and having guided Notre Dame to its best record (34-2) and season winning percentage (.944), McGraw earned numerous national awards for her efforts. For the first time in her career, she won national coach-of-the-year honors from the WBCA, Sports Illustrated for Women and Associated Press, as well as the Atlanta Tipoff Club, which named her the Naismith Women’s College Coach of the Year. Ruth Riley joined McGraw for the latter two honors, earning AP and Naismith playerof-the-year laurels. Riley also was recognized as the nation’s top student-athlete when she was named the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year. In addition, the New York Athletic Club honored McGraw with the 2001 Winged Foot Award, which is presented annually to the coach of the NCAA champion. She also was selected as the WBCA District I Coach of the Year and was voted the BIG EAST Coach of the Year for the first time. The latter award

this year after having attracted a total of six sellouts in its first 32 seasons of competition. “I’m immensely proud and grateful to continue representing the University of Notre Dame and this wonderful basketball program,” McGraw said. “The support we have received from the University community and our administration, especially (athletics director) Jack Swarbrick and Father Jenkins, continually reminds me of why I consider my role as head coach at Notre Dame to be truly the greatest job I could ever ask for. This is such an exciting time for our program — I know we’re on the brink of even greater things in the future, and I’m incredibly motivated to get on the court with our team again in the fall.” ••• Under McGraw’s guidance, the past 15 seasons (1995-96 to 2009-10) have been the most successful in Notre Dame’s history. The Irish have compiled an impressive 366-123 (.748) record, including a sparkling 188-60 (.758) regular-season mark in BIG EAST play, the second-best winning percentage in league history. Notre Dame also has averaged more than 24 victories per year during that span, with two 30-win seasons and seven 25-win campaigns to its credit. The Irish have won at least one NCAA Tournament game 13 times in the past 15 years, advancing to the Sweet 16 eight times (1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2008, 2010) and the Final Four twice (1997 and 2001). “At Notre Dame, we expect to play for national championships every year and this program has reached a point where we accept nothing less,” McGraw commented. “We all have that one common goal in mind and, to see that collective energy and enthusiasm — from the players, coaches and fans —

matched the Irish up with Texas. Undaunted by the hostile Longhorn crowd, Notre Dame pulled off an 86-83 upset of its 14th-ranked hosts. Making their first-ever Sweet 16 appearance, the Irish erased a nine-point halftime deficit and went on to defeat eighth-ranked Alabama, 87-71 in Columbia, S.C. Notre Dame then claimed the East Regional championship and booked its first trip to the Final Four with a 62-52 win over No. 22 George Washington. An 80-66 loss to eventual national champion Tennessee couldn’t dampen what remains a defining season in the program’s history. ••• The 1997-98 campaign was expected to be a transition year as the Irish lost four starters from that first Final Four team. However, it turned out to be perhaps the best coaching effort of McGraw’s career, punctuated by one of the most stunning upsets of the 1998 NCAA Tournament when Notre Dame beat sixth-ranked and top-seeded Texas Tech in the second round of the Midwest Regional before a stunned Lady Raider crowd at Lubbock Municipal Coliseum. That win propelled McGraw’s team into the Sweet 16 for the second year in a row, resulted in a final ranking of 17th in the ESPN/USA Today poll and made McGraw a finalist for the Naismith Coach of the Year award. During the 1998-99 season, McGraw’s charges posted an impressive 26-5 mark and spent a (then) school-record 16 consecutive weeks ranked in the top 10. Notre Dame was undefeated (8-0) against non-conference opponents, registering wins at home against UCLA (99-82) and Duke (84-57), both of whom were ranked sixth at tipoff. The accomplishments of the Notre Dame program in ‘98-’99 made McGraw a finalist for the Naismith Award for the second consecutive season. In addition, Riley became the first player to earn first-team AP All-America honors. Riley also was a first team CoSIDA Academic All-America® honoree, the fourth player in the history of the program to earn Academic All-America® accolades. The 1999-2000 campaign continued Notre Dame’s rise up the national ladder, as the Irish duplicated their record-setting accomplishment of the 1998-99 campaign, finishing with, at the time, the best winning percentage in school history (.844) en route to a 27-5 campaign and return to the NCAA Sweet 16. Notre Dame spent all but two weeks in the top 10 of the AP poll and held down the No. 5 ranking (then an all-time high) for seven of the 18 weeks. That would all set the stage for the memorable events of 2000-01 and Notre Dame’s ascension into the ranks of college basketball’s elite programs. ••• To understand the competitive fire that has fueled much of McGraw’s success, you have to go back to her playing days. A four-year starter at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, Pa., she captained the 1976-77 Hawk team that finished 23-5 and was ranked third nationally. In four seasons at SJU, McGraw helped her team compile a 59-12 mark, while participating in the regional Eastern Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (EAIAW) tournament once and the national AIAW tourney once. She received her bachelor’s degree in sociology from SJU in 1977. Following graduation, she coached for two seasons at Philadelphia’s Archbishop Carroll High School where she guided her teams to a 50-3 record, including a 28-0 mark during her second year. In that ‘78-79 season, she led her squad to the Catholic League title and was named coach of the year for the Philadelphia Catholic League. McGraw then played point guard for one year with the California Dreams in the Women’s Professional Basketball League (WBL). She returned to her alma

mater in 1980, serving as an assistant coach for two seasons under Jim Foster. In 1982, McGraw was named head coach at Lehigh University, leading that school to unprecedented success. Her teams were 88-41 (.683) during her fiveyear tenure. She was named East Coast Conference Coach of the Year following her first season with the Engineers in 1982-83. Her ‘84-85 and ‘85-86 teams posted back-to-back 20-win seasons, finishing 20-8 and 24-4, respectively. The latter squad won the most games in women’s basketball history at the school, while claiming both the ECC regular-season and tournament titles. ••• In her first season at Notre Dame (1987-88), McGraw took a team which finished 12-15 the previous year and guided that squad to a 20-8 mark, including the program’s first-ever win over a ranked opponent (78-66 at No. 17 Duke) as she was named North Star Conference Coach of the Year. The following year, McGraw and the Irish moved into the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (MCC) — now known as the Horizon League — and set about establishing a standard of excellence in that conference that has never been duplicated. In seven years as a member of the MCC, Notre Dame won five regular season and tournament championships, including four consecutive tournament crowns from 1989-92. McGraw’s teams never finished lower than second in the regular season standings and advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament all but once. Notre Dame wound up compiling an 87-15 (.853) record in MCC regular-season games and was 13-2 (.867) in tournament play. While her teams’ successes in the MCC were impressive, McGraw and the Irish had their sights set on bigger goals. The first of those aims was achieved on Dec. 28, 1990, when Notre Dame announced its presence on the national basketball scene with a historic 71-66 win over No. 11 Louisiana Tech in the first round of the Hawk Classic in McGraw’s hometown of Philadelphia. The next evening, the Irish upended McGraw’s alma mater, Saint Joseph’s (Pa.), 72-53, in the championship game, causing Hall of Fame sportswriter Mel Greenberg to note in the Philadelphia Inquirer the following day, “They were the kind of wins that get a team noticed on the national level.” Those words proved prophetic only days later when, on Dec. 31, 1990, the Irish women’s basketball program earned the school’s first national ranking. Notre Dame entered the Associated Press poll at No. 25 and remained in both the AP and USA Today polls for the next nine weeks, climbing as high as 19th in the AP and 18th in the USA Today poll. The next important step in the growth of Notre Dame women’s basketball under McGraw’s tutelage came in 1992, when the Irish, despite a 14-17 mark (the only losing season McGraw has experienced during her head coaching tenure), rallied to win the MCC Tournament with a 59-54 upset of top-seeded Xavier in the championship finale. The win earned Notre Dame its first-ever berth in the coveted NCAA Tournament field via the league’s automatic bid. Two years later, the Irish was back in the NCAA Tournament, once again earning the MCC’s automatic bid. This time, Notre Dame garnered additional respect from the NCAA Selection Committee, picking up a home game in the first round against Minnesota. However, the plucky Gophers pulled out a tough 81-76 decision at the Joyce Center, abruptly ending the season for the Irish. Still, the lessons McGraw and her charges learned in those first two NCAA Tournament appearances would prove invaluable — since that time, Notre Dame has won at least once in all but two of the 15 NCAA Tournaments it has played in (1996-2010), posting a 27-16 (.628)

professionally, including nine who either have been drafted or signed as free agents with WNBA teams. The past decade has seen the greatest influx of Irish talent into the WNBA, with seven Notre Dame players having been selected in the league’s annual draft since 2001. Four of those players were starters on the ‘01 Irish NCAA championship squad, and five of the recent WNBA draftees earned All-America status during their careers at Notre Dame. Perhaps no former Irish player has achieved greater success at the professional level than Ruth Riley. Less than a month after being named the 2001 NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player, Riley was taken with the fifth overall pick in the WNBA Draft by the Miami Sol, where she spent her first two pro seasons. When the Sol folded in 2003, she was the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA dispersal draft by the Detroit Shock, quickly becoming a crowd favorite in the Motor City. With Riley in the starting lineup, Detroit rolled to the league title with a storybook “worst-to-first” finish in ‘03, and Riley herself was named the WNBA Finals MVP, becoming the only player in women’s basketball history to earn Finals MVP honors at both the NCAA and WNBA levels. She also is one of only six players in women’s basketball lore to earn championships in NCAA, WNBA and Olympic competition. Riley came back to earn a second WNBA title with Detroit in 2006, before being traded to the San Antonio Silver Stars in 2007. Since arriving in the Alamo City, Riley has helped the Silver Stars to four consecutive playoff appearances, including the franchise’s first trip to the WNBA Finals in 2008. Niele Ivey was another important cog in the 2001 national championship machine for Notre Dame, and she translated that into a extensive playing career on the professional circuit. A second-round pick of the Indiana Fever in the ‘01 WNBA Draft, Ivey spent four seasons with the club, helping pilot the Fever to their first-ever playoff berth in 2002. She also spent time as a free-agent signing with the Detroit Shock and Phoenix Mercury in 2005 before retiring to begin her coaching career, which has led her back to her alma mater, where she is in her third season working with the next generation of Notre Dame point guards. In three of the past five years, the Irish have had three more All-Americans selected in the WNBA Draft. Jacqueline Batteast was a second-round pick (17th overall) by the Minnesota Lynx in 2005 before being traded to Detroit for the 2006 campaign and winning a WNBA title alongside Riley. A year later, the Lynx once again dipped into the Notre

record in NCAA postseason play that ranks among the top 15 in NCAA Tournament history. ••• Throughout her storied coaching career, success for McGraw has meant developing great players. Ruth Riley, the 2001 BIG EAST Player of the Year, became the third Notre Dame player to earn AP AllAmerica honors when she was named in ‘99 to the third team. Riley, who was a unanimous first-team allBIG EAST selection in 2000 and was the ‘99 BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year, also earned WBCA honorable mention All-America honors. She also was a member of the ‘99 U.S. World University Games team and proudly represented her country as a member of the gold medal-winning 2004 U.S. Olympic Team. Besides Riley, two players whose names are forever linked to elevating the Notre Dame program to national prominence are ‘97 graduates Beth Morgan and Katryna Gaither. The two-time Kodak and AP honorable mention All-Americans both scored more than 2,000 points during their careers, becoming the first two players from the same team in NCAA history (male or female) to reach that milestone. They rank one-two, respectively, on the Irish career scoring list, while Gaither also stands as the school’s second alltime leading rebounder behind Riley. Both players went on to careers at the professional level with the American Basketball League (ABL) and the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). The trio of Riley, Morgan and Gaither highlight an impressive list of 11 Irish players who have garnered All-America honors during McGraw’s career. In addition, the Notre Dame mentor also has worked with five players who have been selected for USA Basketball National Teams, with those players going on to win a total of nine medals (led by Riley’s gold with the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team). What’s more, McGraw has coached three conference players-ofthe-year, three league rookies-of-the-year, and 22 players who have earned all-conference recognition a total of 48 times (including 15 first-team picks who have been chosen a total of 27 times) since arriving in South Bend. In addition, she has helped to shape several other national award winners, including two Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award recipients (Niele Ivey in 2001, Megan Duffy in 2006) and 2002 United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) National Freshman of the Year Jacqueline Batteast. ••• Another sign of McGraw’s success has been her ability to prepare her players for the next level.

Most recently, Charel Allen took her game to the next level, as the high-scoring guard was chosen in the third round (43rd overall pick) of the 2008 WNBA Draft by the Sacramento Monarchs. She went on to contribute to the Monarchs’ run to the WNBA’s Western Conference playoffs, where they fell in three hard-fought games to Riley’s San Antonio club. ••• McGraw’s teams also have been stellar in the classroom. Since she arrived at Notre Dame in 1987, every women’s basketball player who completed her athletic and academic eligibility at the University has graduated (a perfect 62-for-62 success rate). Additionally, two Irish players — Ruth Riley and Megan Duffy — have been named ESPN/CoSIDA first-team Academic All-Americans® with Riley twice earning that honor and going on to be named to the 2001 Academic All-America Team Member of the Year (for all sports, besting such notables as Duke men’s basketball player Shane Battier [now with the NBA’s Houston Rockets] and Purdue football player Head coach Muffet McGraw, her husband Matt, and son Murphy at their home in Granger.

Q & A with Coach McGraw

“Muffet McGraw has made Notre Dame a regular player on the national scene with one NCAA title and another Final Four appearance already in the books. Her players, in a reflection of herself, have been class acts on the sidelines as well as in the game. Muffet is another of a number of successful women who have demonstrated it is possible to have a solid family life at home as a mom, while also devoting the hours it takes to maintain a high profile entity on the hardwood.” — Mel Greenberg Sportswriter, Philadelphia Inquirer USBWA/Women’s Basketball Hall of Famer Founder of Associated Press Top 25 Poll

We have tremendous support from the president on down, and there’s an enthusiastic support and passion for our team with our fan base. It’s a special place and I think you have to be able to appreciate being at Notre Dame and all the things that it encompasses in order to really feel the magic that is here. “There’s so many great things about this campus and what it does for you, not just for four years but for 40 years down the road. The degree from Notre Dame is going to open doors for you all over the country and around the world because people everywhere know about Notre Dame.”

2009-10 REVIEW

“I like to find out what we need to work on early in the season and we are certainly going to do that this year. In the first two weeks of the season, we are going to know what we need to work on. We are going to know what our strengths are, we are going to learn how to play on the road … it’s just a lot of positives. I think that this could be a team that has more losses (than last season), but we might be a better team. We might be more tournament-tested when we get to March than we have ever been before because I think this is probably the most difficult schedule we have ever put together.”

“I hope it is serves as motivation to the current team to see what that 2001 team accomplished. I know that it wasn’t the most talented team in the country, but we had amazing chemistry. We only played six people and didn’t have a deep bench, but everyone knew their role and they were just expected to be successful. They never had a problem with being ranked No. 1 in the country; they just took everything in stride. Nothing fazed them, they just kept their composure. It was a remarkable group of women. It was such a perfect storm of different personalities merging for a truly great experience. While you were in it, you didn’t really appreciate it as much. Now looking back and seeing everyone who was part of it, it’s so fun to catch up with them and see what they are all doing. They have been very successful.”

“My four years at Notre Dame were indeed lifeshaping. From heartbreaking losses to the ultimate level of success, I learned how to handle pressure, what it takes to be a leader and how to balance my faith, family, academics and basketball. I will forever be grateful to Coach McGraw for giving me the opportunity to attend Notre Dame; for instructing me, guiding me and pushing me to achieve my academic and athletic goals; and most of all, for the continual support she shows in my life outside of Notre Dame.”

COACHES

“I think that it is important for me to develop our staff and help them become head coaches, and one of the best ways you can do that by getting out and talking with the different people who have different philosophies. You have to create you own philosophy and the only way you are going to do that is to be open to what other people are doing. That’s why (associate head coach) Jonathan (Tsipis) has spent time this offseason visiting with (former Villanova men’s basketball coach and 1985 NCAA champion) Rollie Massimino, and (assistant coach) Niele (Ivey) has spent time watching men’s coaches like Tom Izzo (Michigan State) and Jamie Dixon (Pittsburgh). “I like watching how other coaches work. It doesn’t really matter what sport — it’s really interesting to look at the dynamics and the attitude and just how they treat their team, how they treat their staff and how they coach their teams. All of the leadership and the motivation are the same no matter what sport you are in.”

“I was stunned at first and just I had no idea that (the selection process) was even going on that that time. It is such an honor when you look at the other people that are in there and, in a way, it makes me feel a little older than I am when I look at all the coaches that are retired that are in there and I am hoping that I have quite a few more years left. It is really an honor and something that was a real shot of adrenaline and a boost of energy after the way the season ended because I am still not over the last game. So it was something that kind of take my mind off that and kind of maybe look forward a little more.”

“Muffet McGraw has a great winning attitude and has a complete understanding of how to communicate her concepts to her players. She is absolutely a brilliant tactician and does everything with class. She represents the Fighting Irish and the Golden Dome in a very special way.” — Dick Vitale ESPN college basketball analyst 2008 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame inductee

2010-11 PREVIEW

“When I first started here in 1987, we always seemed to be the underdog. In our first Final Four year in ’97, we were the underdog, always the low seed beating the higher seed and I liked to be in that role because we really embraced it. Now we feel like we are a continual perennial participant in the NCAA tournament and when you look at what our team is now, you see a hard-working, very focused and intense group who fight. They are fighters. Our nickname (the Fighting Irish) is very appropriate for this group because they never quit. They just never quit and no matter what happens to them, they come back ready the next day and that is something that I love to see — the fight they have in them. They are a group that loves being together. We have had great chemistry over the years, and our best teams have always been ones that got along really well. They enjoy playing an have fun when they play. When you look at this year’s team, you see that. You see the joy they have to play the game. This will be an up-tempo team that loves to run, but the biggest thing you’ll know is that we are going to play hard.”

really difficult to win on the road because every team is good, especially this year with a lot of the top five teams having so many people back. It will be really interesting how it plays out because there is going to be eight or nine teams that are looking to get an NCAA bid and then with the NIT and other tournaments, just about every team in the league is going to be in the running to qualify for some kind of postseason play.”

Associate Head Coach

Jonathan Tsipis Associate Head Coach Eighth Season North Carolina ’96

Jonathan Tsipis is in his eighth year at Notre Dame and his third as associate head coach after being promoted to that post in July 2008. Since joining Muffet McGraw’s staff in May 2003, Tsipis (pronounced SIP-iss) has worked primarily with the Irish wings, while also coordinating Notre Dame’s nationally-ranked recruiting efforts and the Irish scouting plans, while contributing to practice planning. “Jonathan is a dedicated and respected coach and role model for our players,” McGraw said. “He has done a tremendous job as our recruiting coordinator and his track record in terms of player development and game scouting is among the best in the country. I rely on him for his invaluable insights, passion and drive, and I’m looking forward to having him on the bench as we continue making our move back to the top of college basketball. “Jonathan really understands the game from all angles and does a tremendous job of passing that knowledge on to our team,” she added. “He’s a great teacher who stresses the fundamentals above everything else. His scouting reports and game preparation skills are also excellent, and he’s very poised and confident under pressure, which are all qualities that our players respond well to.” In his first seven seasons with the Irish, Tsipis has helped Notre Dame to a 162-64 (.717) record and three NCAA Sweet 16 berths. He also has earned

a well-deserved reputation as one of the nation’s top young assistants, thanks in part to his uncanny success with both player development and game scouting. Thus, it was no surprise that Tsipis was one of five people selected to receive the 2008-09 BasketballScoop.com Coach of the Year honor. The award recognizes those assistant coaches who are among the best in the business, as determined by their peers. Tsipis’ track record of player development with Notre Dame began almost from the moment he set foot on campus. He had a hand in guiding forward Jacqueline Batteast to the most productive years of her career (2003-04 and 2004-05), averaging 16.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game while twice earning All-America honors, including a spot on the prestigious 10-player WBCA All-America Team and third-team laurels from the Associated Press in 200405. Batteast also was the ’04-05 BIG EAST Conference Player of the Year and a two-time first-team all-conference pick. Following her brilliant college career, Batteast was chosen by the Minnesota Lynx in the second round of the ’05 WNBA Draft, and won a WNBA title with the Detroit Shock in 2006. In 2005-06, Tsipis helped then-freshman guard Lindsay Schrader to one of the best rookie seasons in school history, averaging 10.5 points and a teamhigh 5.4 rebounds per game. She also became the second Irish women’s basketball player (and first in

26 years) to start her career with a double-double, and ended her first year under the Golden Dome with a career-high 29-point outburst against Boston College in the NCAA tournament (one of the 10 highest single-game scoring efforts of the 2006 NCAA Tournament). In 2006-07, Tsipis expertly tutored junior guard Charel Allen to WBCA honorable mention AllAmerica status, as well as a first-team all-BIG EAST selection. Allen doubled her scoring average from the previous year to a career-best 17.0 points per game (seventh in the BIG EAST) and a team-high 6.2 rebounds per game. In addition, Allen ranked second in the conference in scoring during BIG EAST play (19.3 ppg.), scored in double figures 29 times in 32 games (including each of her final 12 outings), and became the first Notre Dame player in a decade to score at least 25 points in three consecutive

pionship back to Notre Dame. We are anticipating even greater things in the future from our women’s basketball program.” Tsipis came to Notre Dame following one season as the director of men’s basketball operations at UNC Greensboro, working for former Irish assistant men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery (who now is the head men’s basketball coach at Iowa). Prior to arriving at UNC Greensboro, Tsipis spent two seasons as an assistant men’s coach at Elon (N.C.) University. While there, he worked primarily with the Phoenix’s perimeter players and also helped coordinate the team’s scouting and recruiting efforts. In addition, he was responsible for organizing the team’s travel plans and off-season workout programs. Tsipis came to Elon after one year as the top men’s assistant coach at LeMoyne College in Syracuse, N.Y. He also spent three seasons on the men’s basketball staff at Cornell University (one as a full-time assistant, two as a volunteer aide), and one year on the men’s basketball staff at Duke. In the latter role, he served under legendary Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski. All told, Tsipis has a wealth of knowledge to call upon, having worked under three national championship coaches -- McGraw, Krzyzewski and LeMoyne’s Dave Paulsen, who is now the head coach at Bucknell University. In addition to his coaching duties, Tsipis founded the Future Hoopsters Basketball Camp in 1991 and served as its president for 16 years. He also worked at the Basketball Camp USA in Letahoria, Greece, in July 2001, where he worked at clinics for top-ranked junior players from Greece and Macedonia, focusing on perimeter and ball handling skills. Tsipis comes from a family with a deep basketball background. His father, Lou, played for the Greek National Team at age 15, had a standout career at Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, and later played professionally in Greece. A member of both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (1987; lifetime member as an official) and Hellenic Sports Hall of Fame (1997), Lou also coached at the high school and collegiate levels for more than 20 years. Tsipis’ brother, Dean, played at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and his sister, LuAnn Damiris, was a three-sport letterwinner at Baldwin-Wallace. In addition, his niece, Amanda, played basketball at Notre Dame from 2004-08, appearing in 55 games during her career, serving as team captain her final year and winning the program’s Spirit Award following each of her four seasons. Born Nov. 7, 1972 in Cleveland, Tsipis graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1996 with a bachelor of science degree in pharmacy. He and his wife, Leigh, are the proud parents of two children — daughter Emily (6) and son Joshua (4). The Tsipis family resides in South Bend.

responsible for building the game plans in 18 of Notre Dame’s wins over nationally-ranked opponents during the past six seasons, including victories in 2004-05 at Connecticut (breaking the Huskies’ 112-game home win streak in regularseason league games) and vs. Duke (in the semifinals of the Preseason WNIT), against Oklahoma in the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament (which vaulted the Irish to their seventh Sweet 16 appearance), and most recently 10 of the team’s 11 wins over ranked opponents in the past two seasons (including a pair of victories over SEC stalwart Vanderbilt and Big Ten members Purdue and Michigan State). What’s more, Tsipis has been an integral part of Notre Dame’s recruiting success ever since he arrived on campus, continuing with his current role as the program’s recruiting coordinator. The Irish have attracted 14 consecutive top 20 recruiting classes, joining Connecticut and Tennessee as the only programs that have a current string of that length, and they welcome the nation’s No. 8 class in 2009-10 (according to ESPN Hoopgurlz). “I am honored to be the associate head coach at Notre Dame,” Tsipis said. “The opportunity to work alongside a future Hall of Fame coach in Muffet McGraw and the hardest working student-athletes in the country is truly a dream for me each and every day. Muffet has not only made me a better coach, but has helped me grow and think as a head coach. “There is no other place like the University of Notre Dame,” he added. “Our program has received tremendous support, both from our fans, who are the very best in the country, and our administration, which provides us with every resource possible in order to bring another national cham-

Tsipis then had took both Allen and Schrader under his wing in 2007-08, helping Allen garner her second consecutive All-America citation, this one from the Associated Press, and collect first-team all-conference honors for the second year in a row. Allen ranked among the BIG EAST leaders in scoring (15.1 ppg.) and steals (1.85 per game) and departed Notre Dame as the first player ever to amass 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 200 steals in her career. She went on to be selected in the third round (43rd overall pick) of the 2008 WNBA Draft by the Sacramento Monarchs, helping that franchise return to the league playoffs, where they dropped a hard-fought three-game series to Ruth Riley’s San Antonio Silver Stars. Meanwhile, Schrader made a highly-successful return after missing ’06-07 with a knee injury, earning three successive all-BIG EAST citations, including first-team accolades in 2008-09 and 2009-10. Schrader also became Tsipis’ third All-America pupil when she garnered honorable mention status from both the Associated Press and WBCA in ’09-10. During her final three seasons at Notre Dame, Schrader emerged as one of the most talented, versatile and durable players in the BIG EAST, splitting time between the wing and post while starting 97 of 98 games in that span. She also was a two-year team captain and finished among the top 10 on seven of the school’s career statistical categories, in addition to becoming the fourth Irish player to amass at least 1,400 points and 800 rebounds in her career (Batteast is one of the other three, along with All-America posts Riley and Katryna Gaither). Tsipis also possesses one of the bright young strategical minds in the game. He has been

Associate Coach

Carol Owens Associate Coach 11th Season Northern Illinois ’90

Carol Owens, who enjoyed tremendous success for 10 seasons as an assistant and associate women’s basketball coach at the University of Notre Dame, is back to fill that role once again, as she was named associate coach for the Irish, head coach Muffet McGraw announced on May 12, 2010. As was the case during her initial tenure at Notre Dame, Owens focuses on working with the Irish post players, while also assisting with the program’s nationally-ranked recruiting efforts (Notre Dame has attracted 14 consecutive Top 20 recruiting classes, something only two other schools can match). Owens returns to Notre Dame following a fiveyear stint (2005-10) as head coach at her alma mater, Northern Illinois University. During her time in DeKalb, Owens’s teams showed exceptional growth, as she posted a higher career winning percentage (.449) than either of her two predecessors and became only the second coach in the

program’s 42-year history (first in 28 seasons) to register double-digit victories every year she walked the sidelines at Northern Illinois. “I am so thrilled to have Carol returning to our program,” McGraw said. “She’s proven to be a excellent coach and an outstanding recruiter throughout her career, and now she brings even more experience with her success at Northern Illinois and with USA Basketball. She is very familiar with our program and philosophy, which should lead to a smooth transition. Our players will benefit a great deal from her experience, and I believe our fans join us in enthusiastically welcoming Carol back to Notre Dame.” “I am very happy to be back at Notre Dame,” Owens said. “It’s a place that is so dear to my heart and the people there have been wonderful to me. I’ve had such a great relationship with Coach McGraw over the years, but I never thought I would have the chance to work with her again, and it was an opportunity I just couldn’t pass up.” Owens’ finest season at NIU came in 2006-07, when she led the Huskies to a 19-12 record, their best mark in 14 years, and the program’s first berth in the Mid-American Conference Tournament semifinals since 2001-02. Two years later in 2008-09, Owens guided Northern Illinois to a 10-6 record in MAC play and a third-place finish in the conference’s West Division, logging the Huskies’ best regular-season league record since 2001-02. In fact, Northern Illinois has recorded 10 MAC wins three times since joining the conference in 1997-98 (including one 10-win campaign under Owens) and peaked with third-place finishes in the MAC West Division on four occasions (twice under Owens). Northern Illinois players also made tremendous individual strides under Owens’ watchful eye. Eight Huskies collected all-conference honors during her tenure, led by

double-digit scoring games. In addition, she was the first player (male or female) in school history to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds. A native of Chicago, Owens received her Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Northern Illinois in 1990. She was selected by the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to serve as Commencement Marshal of her graduating class and was named Northern Illinois’ Outstanding Woman. In addition, Owens was the recipient of the Student Leadership Award. Following her graduation from NIU, Owens enjoyed a three-year professional basketball career in Japan, Spain and Italy. In 1995, Owens was inducted into the Northern Illinois University Athletic Hall of Fame and followed up that honor with her induction into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) Hall of Fame in 2001.

as well as a gold medal with the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team, becoming one of only seven players in women’s basketball history to earn NCAA, WNBA and Olympic championships in her career. In addition, Katryna Gaither (‘97) was a two-time honorable mention All-America selection at Notre Dame while working with Owens, and Riley, Gaither and Kelley Siemon (‘01) all were drafted into the WNBA following their Fighting Irish careers. “Carol Owens is one of the top assistant coaches in the nation, and in my opinion, she is the best skills coach in the country when it comes to the post position,” Riley said. “As a young player, I was very grateful to find a school where I knew I would develop fundamentally at my position. Coach Owens has personal experience of being an All-America post player, and she uses that knowledge teach and mold young student-athletes. I am very grateful for the time she invested in making me the best post player I could be.” Named one of the top five assistant coaches in the country by Women’s Basketball Journal in 2001, Owens also helped Notre Dame land nine consecutive Top 20 recruiting classes from 1997-2005. She joined the Fighting Irish staff in 1995 following two seasons as an assistant coach at Michigan. As a standout player at Northern Illinois from 1985-90 (she missed the ‘86-87 season with a knee injury), Owens compiled a very impressive resume. A two-time WBCA coaches’ All-District IV selection (1989 and 1990), Owens scored 2,102 points and averaged 18.0 points per game over four campaigns, covering 117 games. She also captained the Huskies for four seasons and, in her final collegiate campaign (1989-90), she guided Northern Illinois to the best record in school history (26-5), as the Huskies went undefeated in North Star Conference play (12-0) and earned the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament bid. Owens finished her NIU career with 13 school records, most notably standing as Northern Illinois’ all-time leader in scoring, blocked shots, free throws made, free throw attempts and field goal percentage -- to this day, she remains the Huskies’ career leader in blocks, free throws made and consecutive

first-team all-MAC guard (and eventual WNBA second-round draft pick) Stephanie Raymond in 200607. In addition, she helped mold Marke Freeman into the league’s Sixth Player of the Year in 2008-09. Her NIU teams were successful in the classroom as well, with the Huskie women’s basketball program boasting a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better every semester under Owens. What’s more, all 12 seniors that completed their careers at Northern Illinois during her tenure earned their degrees. As if that weren’t enough, Owens is a rising star on the national and international coaching scene through her work with USA Basketball. The past two summers, she served as head coach of the United States U18 and U19 teams, guiding those squads to gold medals at the 2008 FIBA U18 Americas Championships in Argentina, and the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championships in Thailand — in both cases, one of her standout players was current Notre Dame sophomore guard Skylar Diggins. In 2008, Owens was named USA Basketball’s Developmental Coach of the Year, and prior to that, she spent two summers (2006-07) as an assistant coach for Team USA, collecting two more gold medals (2006 FIBA U18 Americas; 2007 FIBA U19 Worlds) as an aide under current DePaul head coach (and recently-appointed U.S. Senior National Team assistant coach) Doug Bruno. Owens also coached recently-departed Notre Dame point guard Melissa Lechlitner (`10) on that 2007 USA squad that took gold at the U19 World Championships. For many years, Owens has been an important contributor within the women’s basketball coaching community. In 2008, she was selected to serve on the Board of Directors for both the Black Coaches Association (BCA) and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), serving on the latter body’s Executive Committee as the WBCA secretary. McGraw also currently serves on the WBCA’s Board of Directors, having filled the role as the group’s Division I Legislative Chair since 2005. During her first stint at Notre Dame from 19952005, Owens played an important role in the Irish’s rise to national prominence. In that decade-long run with Owens on the bench, Notre Dame went 252-75 (.771), averaging better than 25 victories per season with at least 20 wins in each campaign. The Irish also qualified for the NCAA Tournament in every year of Owens’ stay, reaching the second round each time en route to six Sweet 16 appearances (1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004), two Final Four berths (1997, 2001) and the program’s first national championship in 2001. Through the years, Owens has carefully crafted a reputation as one of the nation’s premier post coaches, a label she earned primarily during her career at Notre Dame. Her most famous pupil to date has been Ruth Riley (‘01), who was a threetime All-America selection (1999-2001) and capped off her Irish career as the 2001 consensus national player-of-the-year. She has since gone on to win two WNBA titles (2003 and 2006 with the Detroit Shock),

Assistant Coach

Niele Ivey Assistant Coach Fourth Season Notre Dame ’00

One of the finest point guards ever to wear the Notre Dame uniform, Niele Ivey (first name pronounced knee-L) has returned to her alma mater as an assistant coach, rejoining the Irish women’s basketball program as a member of head coach Muffet McGraw’s staff in May 2007. Ivey works closely with the development of the Notre Dame guards, and also has made major contributions to the program’s nationally-ranked recruiting efforts, as well as game scouting, practice planning and summer camp coordination. Ivey has immediately brought her considerable experience to bear on the Irish floor generals, with the past two Notre Dame point guards — Tulyah Gaines (2007-08) and Melissa Lechlitner (2008-10) enjoying the best seasons of their careers under Ivey’s experience eye. Lechlitner also was at the helm for two of the most prolific offensive seasons in Irish history, including the 2009-10 campaign when Notre Dame averaged 77.2 points per game and posted a 1.11 assist/turnover ratio, the second time in Ivey’s three seasons that the Irish have had a positive A/TO ratio (after having achieved that once in the program’s first three decades — Ivey’s final season in 2000-01). Last year, Ivey worked closely with honorable mention All-America freshman guard Skylar Diggins, helping the South Bend native become the first rookie in 17 seasons to lead Notre Dame in scoring and the first Irish freshman in 16 seasons to register at least 100 assists. What’s more, Diggins earned second-team allBIG EAST honors after becoming just the third player in program history (regardless of class year) to compile

at least 400 points, 100 assists and 75 steals in a single season — something Ivey first did in 2000-01 and then Megan Duffy matched in 2004-05. Ivey came back to Notre Dame following two seasons (2005-07) as an administrative assistant on the women’s basketball staff at Xavier University, where she served under former Notre Dame assistant coach and current XU skipper Kevin McGuff. During Ivey’s two seasons at Xavier, she coordinated film exchange and assisted in many of the daily operations of the Musketeers’ program, including travel, academics and community outreach. Following her arrival on the XU campus in 2005-06, the Musketeers posted a 47-17 record (including a 26-8 mark this past year), winning the 2007 Atlantic-10 Conference Tournament and advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2003. “It’s been amazing to watch Niele grow as a coach,” McGraw said. “Her experience in the WNBA has really helped her become a great coach. She’s been a student of the game for so long and now she has the opportunity to teach it. She does a great job of teaching the game, has great passion for the game, and is someone that we all truly enjoy being around. She also the added benefit of having already walked in the shoes of our current players, and knowing what it takes to succeed at the highest level here at Notre Dame. The sky’s really the limit for what she can accomplish in the coaching profession.” Ivey holds the rare distinction of being the only player on the roster for both of Notre Dame’s NCAA Final Four appearances (1997, 2001), but she sat out most of the ‘96-97 campaign after suffering a season-ending knee injury five games into her freshman year. However, she was awarded a fifth year of eligibility in 2000-01 and made the most of it, earning third-team Associated Press All-America honors, the first Irish point guard to be so recognized. She also was the recipient of the 2001 Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award, presented annually to the nation’s top senior player standing 5-foot-8 or under, and she was one of three finalists for the ‘01 Nancy Lieberman Award, which goes to the country’s top point guard. In addition, Ivey was a member of the 2001 NCAA Final Four All-Tournament Team after averaging 16.5 points and 5.5 steals per game as the Irish defeated Connecticut (90-75) and Purdue (68-66) to win their first national title. All told, Notre Dame went 109-22 (.832) during Ivey’s last four seasons, reaching the NCAA Sweet 16 on three occasions (1998, 2000, 2001) and rolling up a school-record 34 wins in 2000-01. The Irish also won a share of their first BIG EAST regular-season championship in 2000-01 and were ranked in the top 10 of either or both the AP and ESPN/USA Today polls for all but two weeks during her final three campaigns. While at Notre Dame, Ivey was a threetime all-BIG EAST selection (1999-2001), collecting first-team honors in 2001, and was tapped as the BIG EAST Player of the Week five times (tying for the second-most in school history). She also led the Irish

in steals in each of her final four seasons (1997-98 to 2000-01) and was the team’s assist leader in her last three years, setting school records with 95 steals in 1999-2000 and 247 assists in 2000-01, along with a school-standard 2.67 assist-to-turnover ratio the latter season. For her career, Ivey has a place on 16 of Notre Dame’s all-time top 10 lists, including the Irish records for steals (348) and games played (132). She also is second in school history with 727 assists and a 5.5 assist-per-game average, as well as a 2.6 steals-per-game mark. A potent scorer, Ivey ranks 12th in the Notre Dame record books with 1,430 career points, while her .405 three-point percentage is third-best in school annals and her 190 three-point field goals stand fourth in Irish lore. In addition, she remains on the BIG EAST top 10 lists for career assists (fifth/394) and steals (ninth/167), and she took home the BIG EAST assist title in 1999-2000 by averaging 6.6 apg. (all conference records limited to BIG EAST regular-season games). Ivey was a five-year WNBA veteran, beginning with her selection by the Indiana Fever in the second round (17th overall pick) of the 2001 WNBA Draft. She spent four seasons with the Fever, helping them to the first playoff berth in franchise history in 2002. Ivey signed with the Detroit Shock as a restricted free agent in 2005, and subsequently was acquired by the Phoenix Mercury later that season. Born Sept. 24, 1977, in St. Louis, Mo., Ivey graduated from Notre Dame’s College of Arts and Letters in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in history. She and her son, Jaden (8), make their home in South Bend.

but I won’t rest until we’re selling out Purcell Pavilion on a night-in, night-out basis.” Prior to her arrival at Notre Dame, Menio spent the 2004-05 year as a marketing associate in the athletics department at the University of Missouri, where she focused on marketing and promotions for the Tiger women’s basketball, volleyball, softball and gymnastics programs, as well assisting with group ticket sales and game management for football and men’s basketball. Thanks to her efforts in ‘04-05, the Missouri volleyball team was ranked 19th in the nation in attendance, the gymnastics team wound up 15th in the country in attendance (a 30-percent increase), the Tiger women’s basketball program saw a 20-percent increase in season ticket sales and a 21-percent increase in attendance, and the Missouri softball team recorded the seven largest crowds in the program’s history, increasing attendance by 30 percent. Before coming to at Missouri, Menio spent two years as a marketing assistant with the women’s basketball program at the University of Pittsburgh. In conjunction with the debut of the new Petersen Events Center, Menio aided in the Panthers’ 114-percent rise in attendance from 2002-04, including the first women’s basketball sellout in school history (12,632 vs. Connecticut on Jan. 25, 2003). Menio graduated from Pittsburgh in 2004 with a bachelor of science degree in business administration, and earned her master of science degree in integrated marketing communications from West Virginia University in 2009. Menio was born May 29, 1982, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and now makes her home in South Bend.

HISTORY

nearly $50,000 for breast cancer awareness and research through the Pink Zone initiative. All of those accomplishments set the stage for the record-setting 2009-10 campaign, a season in which Notre Dame exhausted its season ticket allotment (close to 7,500) before a single game had been played, including sales of more than 1,000 packages to first-time season ticket purchasers. The Irish wound up posting a school-record six sellouts during their 15 regular-season home games, highlighted by capacity crowds for their final four regular-season contests of the year, and smashed the school record with 142,412 fans coming through the arena turnstiles. In addition, Purcell Pavilion was one of the best attended sites during first- and second-round action in the 2010 NCAA Championship, averaging 6,129 fans for the two-day event (the second-highest figure among the 16 preliminary round host sites). Menio’s marketing and promotions savvy has been a vital force for a Notre Dame program that now has been ranked among the top 20 in the nation in attendance in each of the past 10 years. Besides those 12 sellouts, the Irish also have attracted each of the top 20 largest women’s basketball crowds in school history since 2000-01, including 35 audiences at least of 8,000 fans, and attendance figures of 5,000 or better at 141 of the past 143 home games. In addition to her marketing and promotions duties, Menio also coordinates Notre Dame’s farreaching community service and outreach programs, which were combined under one roof in 2009 as the Irish “Spirit of Giving” program. During the 200910 season, Notre Dame players spent more than 325 team hours (better than 25 hours per player) in the community, reading and mentoring young children, visiting pediatric cancer hospitals, conducting basketball clinics and pep rallies for area youth and helping to raise $103,750 for the WBCA Pink Zone initiative (by far the most money raised by a single school for the national breast cancer charity in ’09-10). Those efforts resulted in the Irish women’s basketball team earning the Notre Dame athletics department Trophy Award, presented annually to the Irish athletics program that performs the greatest amount of community service during the academic year. “We would be lost without Stephanie because she’s so completely indispensable,” Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw said. “She wears so many hats for us and she’s great at everything she does. I can’t believe there’s anybody in the country that’s better than she is in the marketing area. What she’s done for our fans and our team to get that kind of support has been phenomenal. She’s creative, has a passion for it and works extremely hard, probably to the point of working two full-time jobs and never misses a beat.” “I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with Coach McGraw, the staff, players and especially the outstanding and loyal fans of Notre Dame women’s basketball,” Menio said. “From the minute I stepped on campus, I felt the passion and excitement surrounding the Irish women’s basketball program. We made good progress in my first four years here,

With an infectious personality and unwavering drive to succeed, Stephanie Menio (pronounced MANY-o) is in her sixth season as coordinator of basketball operations at Notre Dame. Menio oversees all aspects of marketing and promotions for the Irish women’s basketball program, as well as serve as director of the Irish women’s basketball camps and assist in team travel (including the program’s summer 2009 European tour), spearhead the program’s groundbreaking social media efforts (including forays into Facebook, YouTube and Twitter), and administrative duties related to Notre Dame’s nationally-ranked recruiting efforts. In her first six years, Menio has helped the Irish finish among the top 11 in the nation in average attendance each season, including a No. 4 ranking in 2009-10 after Notre Dame finished with a schoolrecord average attendance of 8,377 fans per game. She also has overseen a 44-percent increase in that average during her tenure. The Irish also have logged 15 of the top 20 crowds in school history under her watch, including 10 of the program’s 12 sellouts. In 2005-06, Notre Dame was 11th in the attendance rankings (6,601 fans per game, a 13-percent increase over the previous season) and was the spark behind attracting the third women’s basketball sellout in school history (11,418 vs. Tennessee on Dec. 31, 2005). That sellout was made even more notable when all tickets were exhausted 19 days prior to tipoff, a school record for the fastest women’s basketball sellout. Not to be outdone, Notre Dame ranked 10th in the country in attendance in 2006-07, averaging 6,364 fans per game over a 16-game slate that was the largest regular-season schedule in program history. What’s more, Notre Dame women’s basketball earned a pair of “Readers’ Choice Awards” in 2007 from the South Bend Tribune, whose readership selected Irish home games as the “Favorite Family Entertainment” and “Favorite Place To Take Your Kids (Regionally)” for the Michiana area. The Notre Dame women’s basketball marketing and promotions machine reached a new level in 2007-08, as the Irish ranked ninth in the country with an average of 7,016 fans per game. Notre Dame also recorded two sellouts, the second time in program history the Irish have had multiple capacity crowds at home in the same season. They nearly added a third sellout in ‘07-08, coming less than 600 fans away from selling out a December non-conference game against Michigan, but still marking the first time Notre Dame has ever had three crowds of 10,000+ fans in the same season. The Irish also were repeat winners in both South Bend Tribune “Readers’ Choice Awards”. In 2008-09, Notre Dame once again ranked ninth in the country with an average of 7,168 fans per game, at the time marking the second-highest season attendance mark in school history. The Irish also had yet another sellout (earning the program the NCAA’s “Pack The House Challenge” award), drew three more crowds of 10,000+ fans, and won the inaugural WBCA Pink Zone Challenge by raising

Basketball Operations

Angie Potthoff Associate Director of Operations & Technology Sixth Season Penn State ’97

Angie Potthoff, a former All-America forward at Penn State University and three-year pro basketball veteran, is in her sixth season on Muffet McGraw’s staff at Notre Dame, and is in her first year as associate director for women’s basketball operations & technology, having been named to that post on April 14, 2010. In her new position, Potthoff coordinates all technology aspects for the Irish women’s basketball program, including in-game video operations, film exchange and scouting data compilation. In addition, she works closely with coordinator of operations Stephanie Menio to oversee Notre Dame’s groundbreaking advances in social media (including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter) and coordinates recruiting efforts on behalf of the program to include: preparation and distribution of recruiting materials; coordinating official visits, and arranging logistics surrounding on-campus recruiting weekends. She also serves as the liaison to the offices of athletics compliance and Academic Services for StudentAthletes on all academic and compliance issues, and she assists with summer camp operations. “I can’t think of anyone better suited to take on this new challenge than Angie,” McGraw said. “She’s bright, creative, organized and extremely gifted when it comes to keeping us on the cutting edge of technology at this day in age. This is a wonderful new position, and I believe Angie will be a huge asset to our program in that role for years to come.” “I’m excited about this new opportunity and I’m looking forward to my new responsibilities with the team,” Potthoff said. “I have enjoyed working with Coach McGraw during the past five seasons and have learned so much in that time. Notre Dame is an amazing place and I am so lucky to have the chance to be a part of an amazing University and basketball program.” Potthoff steps into her new role after a five-year stint as an assistant coach with the Fighting Irish, during which

time she worked with the team’s post players, coordinated equipment and apparel needs, and assisted with game scheduling, game scouting and practice planning. In that time, Potthoff successfully tutored several Notre Dame post players, most notably forward Becca Bruszewski, who more than doubled her scoring and rebounding outputs from her freshman to sophomore seasons, and has been a reliable threat, both on the blocks and from the perimeter, since moving into the starting lineup in 2008-09. What’s more, Potthoff worked with center Erica Williamson (‘10) throughout her four-year career, helping her finish eighth on the school’s career blocked shots list (125) and earn a place on the 2006-07 BIG EAST AllFreshman Team. Prior to joining the Irish, Potthoff spent six years in the high school and college coaching ranks (1999-2005). Most recently, she concluded a three-year stint at Beaver (Pa.) Area High School, the first two as an assistant girls’ basketball coach before elevating to the head coaching post for the 2004-05 season. In her three years at the school, the Bobcats logged a 38-36 record and twice advanced to the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) Class 3A playoffs, finishing as one of the top 32 teams in the state. Prior to arriving at BAHS, Potthoff spent two seasons (2000-02) as an assistant coach at Robert Morris University in Moon Township, Pa. While there, she worked primarily with the Colonials’ post players, and also helped coordinate the team’s recruiting, scouting and game scheduling efforts. Potthoff began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Indiana (Pa.) University in 19992000, aiding the Indians to a 24-5 record (the secondhighest win total in school history), a school-record No. 4 national ranking during the season, and a trip to the NCAA Division II playoffs. That season, Potthoff worked closely with the Indians’ 6-foot-5 center, Melissa McGill, who led the team in scoring (13.6 ppg.), rebounding (8.2 rpg.) and blocked shots (a schoolrecord 69) en route to earning WBCA all-district honors. Potthoff is perhaps best known as a standout post player at Penn State, where she led the Nittany Lions to three NCAA Tournament appearances, including two Sweet 16 trips and a berth in the 1994 regional final. While at PSU, Potthoff was a two-time WBCA coaches’ honorable mention All-American (1996, 1997), while also garnering three All-America nods from the Associated Press (third team in 1996; honorable mention in 1995 & 1997). She was a three-time first-team allBig Ten Conference selection (199597) and was named to the Big Ten AllTournament Team in 1995 and 1996, picking up Most Valuable Player honors in the latter season after sparking Penn State to its second consecutive Big Ten Tournament title. In each of her final three seasons at Penn State, Potthoff led the

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

Nittany Lions in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage, winning a share of the Big Ten scoring title and finishing second in rebounding in 1997. To this day, she still remains among the top six on PSU’s career lists for scoring (1,725 points/15.5 ppg.), rebounding (918/8.3 rpg.), field goal percentage (.574/709-1,235) and doubledoubles (47). Potthoff graduated from Penn State in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise and Sport Science. Following her stellar college career, Potthoff spent three seasons playing professionally in the United States. In 1997, she was a second-round draft pick (No. 12 overall) by the Columbus Quest of the now-defunct American Basketball League (ABL). There, she averaged 6.9 points and 3.5 rebounds per game as the Quest won their second consecutive ABL championship in 1998 before the league folded midway through the 1998-99 campaign. The following summer, Potthoff was selected in the fourth round (49th overall) of the WNBA Draft by the expansion Minnesota Lynx. She cracked the starting lineup for the first game in franchise history, going on to average 4.0 points and 2.7 rebounds per game that season before electing to retire as an active player and begin her coaching career. Born June 12, 1974 in Erie, Pa., Potthoff currently lives in South Bend with her daughter, Ellie, who was born just before the start of fall practices in August 2009.

Wooden Award and WBCA/State Farm Wade Trophy preseason watch lists (the others are Delaware’s Elena Delle Donne and Georgetown’s Sugar Rodgers) … Baylor was defeated by BIG EAST member Connecticut in last year’s Final Four, 70-50 … head coach Kim Mulkey is the only women’s basketball coach to have won a national championship as both a player and coach, as she was an AllAmerican and Olympic Gold medalist as a player at Louisiana Tech … both former college point guards, Mulkey and Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw are the only coaches to both play for and coach a team that has appeared in the AP Top 25 poll, and then also coach that team to a national championship; McGraw played at Saint Joseph’s (Pa.) when it rose to No. 3 in 1977, while Mulkey was the floor general for top-ranked Louisiana Tech in 1982.

Notes: One of most frequented non-conference opponents in the Irish annals, Butler will present Notre Dame’s final challenge of the WBCA Classic to cap off a three-game marathon within a 72-hour span … excluding the current contingent of BIG EAST programs, Notre Dame has only played Dayton (28) more times than Butler (25) among non-conference foes … Notre Dame leads the all-time series, 19-6, with 10 of those wins coming in South Bend (along with a 7-3 record on the road and a pair of wins at neutral sites) … Butler won the first two meetings (1980 and 1981) before Notre Dame rattled off 13 consecutive victories … the Bulldogs then notched four wins in the next five meetings, with Notre Dame coming up roses in each of the past five affairs, although the teams haven’t played since Dec. 1, 1999 (a 77-57 Irish win at Purcell Pavilion) … as members of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now known as the Horizon League), Notre Dame and Butler twice met in the league’s postseason tournament — Notre Dame won the 1990 meeting (67-66) and did so again in 1991 (62-52) to send the Bulldogs home from the tournament, which was held both years in Dayton, Ohio … BU senior guard Alyssa Pittman hails from nearby Elkhart, Ind., prepping at Elkhart Central … Butler head coach Beth Couture has led the Bulldogs to five consecutive winning seasons (including three straight 20-win seasons) and a pair of WNIT appearances (2009 and 2010) … she mentored the Bulldogs to a 23-10 record (14-4 Horizon League) in 2009-10, the team’s most wins in 12 years … Butler’s second straight WNIT appearance also marked the first time the program has had consecutive postseason berths since becoming a Division I team.

Notes: Notre Dame and DePaul met once during the 2009-2010 season, with the Irish pulling out a 90-66 home win … the victory marked Notre Dame’s fourth consecutive win over DePaul, the longest Irish winning streak in the series and the longest by either side since the Blue Demons’ six-game run from 1988-90 … DePaul still leads the all-time series with Notre Dame, 18-15, although the Fighting Irish have a 9-6 edge at Purcell Pavilion … Notre Dame’s 90 points in 2009-10 were the most scored against the Blue Demons in the 33-game series, topping the old mark of 87 points set on Jan. 16, 1995, in a 96-87 DePaul victory in Chicago … in 12 of the past 14 series games, the winning team has scored at least 75 points ... last year’s matchup at Purcell Pavilion also was Notre Dame’s “Pink Zone” contest, tailored to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research; the Irish wound up raising a record-setting $103,750 for the national initiative last season … DePaul’s 18 wins are the third-most ever by one Notre Dame opponent, topped only by Connecticut (25) and Tennessee (20) … the Notre Dame-DePaul rivalry dates back to the 1978-79 season, when the Irish women’s basketball program was just its second season at the varsity level and played at the AIAW Division III level … the Irish and Blue Demons were members of the same conference once before, squaring off regularly in the now-defunct North Star Conference from 1983-88 … at 33 games entering this season, the Notre Dame-DePaul series is the second-longest in Irish history, topped only by a 35-game run with Marquette … both head coaches – Notre Dame’s Muffet McGraw and DePaul’s Doug Bruno – have ties to the old Women’s Professional Basketball League (WBL) which existed from 1978-81: McGraw was a point guard for the California Dreams in 1979 (the franchise’s only year of existence) and Bruno was the head coach and director of player personnel for the Chicago Hustle throughout its incarnation from 1978-80 … Notre Dame has had 12 players come from the state of Illinois, including 11 from the Chicagoland area, with senior forward Devereaux Peters (Chicago) and sophomore guard Kaila Turner (Joliet) as the latest additions to that list.

Notes: The two teams have met only once (Jan. 9, 1982) at the Saint Catherine’s Tournament in Minneapolis, Minn., with Notre Dame pulling out a 69-48 win … the Bluejays return three senior starters who guided the team to its third straight 20-win season a year ago, while welcoming the largest group of scholarship freshmen at Creighton in 13 years … the six-member freshman class represents each position to work with for ninth-year head coach Jim Flanery … Creighton’s three returning starters – center Kellie Nelson, forward Sam Schuett and guard Kelsey Woodard – have started a combined 182 games for the Bluejays since they arrived on campus … the Bluejays have finished second in the regular-season Missouri Valley Conference race in each of the past two seasons, while they have been in the MVC Tournament championship game in three of the previous four campaigns … Flanery has sent the Bluejays into the postseason WNIT six times under his watch, recorded five 20-win seasons, captured a Missouri Valley Conference regular-season championship, played in the MVC Tournament championship game three times, made two appearances in the postseason WNIT Final Four and captured the first postseason national championship in school history by winning the 2004 WNIT … he became the winningest rookie coach in school and league history with 24 wins during the 2002-03 season … the 48 wins his teams compiled during his first two seasons with the Bluejays yet to be topped in MVC history … Flanery begins his ninth season tied for the best winning percentage (.596) in school history … no Notre Dame player has ever hailed from the state of Nebraska … the Irish are 25-2 (.926) against the current Missouri Valley Conference alignment, including a 12-1 (.923) record at home; Notre Dame also is 16-1 against current MVC schools in the Muffet McGraw era (1987-88 to present) … the Irish last played an MVC school on Nov. 19, 2008, downing Evansville, 96-61 at Purcell Pavilion — current senior co-captains Becca Bruszewski (then-career-high 18 points) and Brittany Mallory (11 points, six assists) played key roles in that win.

Current Irish vs. Connecticut

Deirdre Naughton (G, Sr., 5-10); Sam Quigley (G, Sr., 5-6); Anna Martin (G, So., 5-9); Katherine Harry (F, So., 6-3)

2010-11 OPPONENTS

Notes: Notre Dame and Connecticut have met at least twice the past two seasons, with the Huskies pulling out three wins in 2009-10 (two regular season, one BIG EAST Championship contest) … all four Irish wins in the series have come since the start of the 2000-01 season … UConn is one of four BIG EAST teams that has a winning series record against the Irish (along with DePaul, Rutgers and Louisville) … when the programs met in the 2010 BIG EAST semifinals (a 59-44 Huskies’ win), Notre Dame limited Connecticut to its secondlowest point total in the 29-game series between the schools, and lowest since a 65-59 Fighting Irish win on Jan. 30, 2005, in Storrs, Conn. (Notre Dame’s most recent victory prior to the current nine-game Huskies’ win streak in the series) ... as the Huskies were ranked No. 1 in each of the three metings, Notre Dame fell to 2-14 all-time against top-ranked opponents ... since 1998-99, Connecticut has lost by 15-plus points seven times, with three of those losses coming to Notre Dame (twice in 2000-01, once in 2003-04) … the Irish are one of four teams to defeat UConn at least three times in the past 12 seasons (1995-96 through 2006-07); the others are Tennessee (nine), Rutgers (six) and North Carolina (three) … either one or both participants has been ranked in all 29 series contests, with both teams ranked 18 times … the 2001 BIG EAST Championship game between the clubs (won by Connecticut, 78-76, on Sue Bird’s buzzer-beating jumper) earned an 0.96 Nielsen rating on ESPN2, making it (at the time) that network’s most-watched women’s basketball game ever; it also was selected as the first-ever “Instant Classic” women’s basketball game by ESPN Classic … the two head coaches – Notre Dame’s Muffet McGraw and Connecticut’s Geno Auriemma – have more than a few ties: both hail from the Philadelphia metro area (McGraw from West Chester, Auriemma from Norristown), both cut their coaching teeth in the region (including separate stints as assistant coaches at Saint Joseph’s under current Ohio State mentor Jim Foster), and both are currently serving on the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Board of Directors – Auriemma as president and McGraw as NCAA Division I Legislative Chair … McGraw also will join Auriemma in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame when she is inducted in June 2011 … Notre Dame sophomore guard Skylar Diggins and Connecticut freshman guard Kelly Faris finished 1-2 in the 2009 Indiana Miss Basketball voting and were teammates on the 2009 Indiana All-Star Team that swept a two-game series from its Kentucky counterpart … Diggins also was a teammate of Connecticut junior guards Caroline Doty and Tiffany Hayes on the White Team at the 2007 USA Basketball Youth Development Festival in Colorado Springs; the trio helped the White squad to a 5-0 record and the gold medal … Diggins, Hayes and Connecticut senior forward Maya Moore are three of the players on this year’s John R. Wooden Award and WBCA/State Farm Wade Trophy preseason watch lists.

second-most against one opponent in school history; the Irish have 29 wins over Marquette and also 23 against both Syracuse and Valparaiso … Notre Dame is 18-2 against Georgetown since joining the BIG EAST prior to the 1995-96 season … the Irish have held the Hoyas to less than 70 points in 17 of those 20 BIG EAST matchups, winning each time … last year’s 76-66 loss at Georgetown snapped a six-game series winning streak, falling to 23-3 on the all-time ledger … both Irish losses to Georgetown in BIG EAST play have come at McDonough Arena, where Notre Dame now is 9-2 all-time (other loss was 76-73 on Jan. 7, 2004) ... Georgetown topped the 70-point mark against Notre Dame for only the fourth time in 26 series games, and second in BIG EAST action – the Hoyas are 3-1 against the Fighting Irish when scoring at least 70 points … in last year’s matchup, Ashley Barlow topped the 1,400-point mark for her career (1,412) … the 104-86 Notre Dame win on Jan. 19, 2008, in Washington, D.C., marked the first time the Irish had ever topped the century mark on an opponent’s home court (and just the second time Notre Dame had scored 100 points outside Purcell Pavilion) … it also was the 10th 100-point game in school history and the first since Nov. 26,2002 (a 107-65 win over Cleveland State at Purcell Pavilion) … Notre Dame is 11-1 all-time when reaching triple digits, following last year’s season-opening 102-57 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff … in 2008, the Irish also set a McDonough Arena record for points by a visiting team, eclipsing Connecticut’s 103 points in 1995 … the 190 combined points in 2008 were the most for a contest featuring Notre Dame since Jan. 7, 1999, when the Irish posted a 111-90 win over West Virginia in South Bend … besides Georgetown and WVU, Providence is the only other BIG EAST foe against whom the Irish have scored 100 points in a single game … both teams are led by standout sophomore guards in Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins and Georgetown’s Sugar Rodgers, who are two of just four second-year players on the 2010-11 John R. Wooden Award and WBCA/State Farm Wade Trophy watch lists (along with Baylor’s Brittney Griner and Delaware’s Elena Delle Donne) … before matriculating to college, Notre Dame senior guard Brittany Mallory and Georgetown junior forward Adria Crawford were AAU teammates with the Fairfax (Va.) Stars; GU assistant coach Keith Brown also worked in the Stars program from 2006-07, piloting its U15 and U16 squads, while Mallory’s father, Bob, also coached in the program during his daughter’s tenure.

Notes: Notre Dame will face Loyola Marymount for the first time since Jan. 3, 1987, when the Irish downed the Lions, 78-40, in Los Angeles ... Loyola Marymount is one of two California teams (along with UCLA) that the Irish will face this regular season and one of two West Coast Conference programs on the slate (along with Gonzaga) … Notre Dame is 19-14 (.576) all-time in its final game before the start of the New Year, having closed out December with wins over Vanderbilt the past two seasons … Loyola Marymount was picked to finish fourth in the WCC preseason poll … senior Renahy Young and junior Alex Cowling to the preseason all-conference team for the second consecutive year … Young begins her senior season with her third consecutive selection to the preseason all-conference team … a first team all-WCC selection in 2008-09 and honorable mention in 2009-10, Young became the 10th player in Loyola Marymount history to surpass 1,000 career points and currently occupies fifth place on the school’s all-time scoring list … Young averaged 14.9 points and 3.0 assists per game last year … Cowling followed up her WCC Newcomer of the Year honor in 2008-09 by earning first team all-WCC honors last season … as a sophomore, Cowling broke the Lions’ single-season scoring mark with 526 points for a 17.5 ppg. average … she increased that to a league-leading 20.4 ppg. mark during conference play … Cowling also led the team in overall rebounding at 7.1 per game while shooting 50.8 percent from the field.

2009-10 REVIEW

on Notre Dame’s 2010-11 schedule (along with Morehead State and Louisville) … Irish junior guard Natalie Novosel (Lexington, Ky.) will have the opportunity to play in front of a hometown crowd when the Irish venture into Memorial Coliseum … Novosel, who prepped at Lexington Catholic, led the Knights to a 130-11 (.922) record during her final four years on the varsity squad (she began playing at the varsity level as an eighth-grader) and state championships in 2005 and 2006 … Novosel’s classmate during that historic run for Lexington Catholic, Keyla Snowden, is a junior guard for Kentucky … despite sharing a border, Novosel is actually the only Kentucky native ever to don the blue and gold for Notre Dame … this will be the first meeting between the two programs, and the first time an Irish team will step foot in Memorial Coliseum since 1961, when the Notre Dame men’s squad fell to the Wildcats by a 100-53 … the men’s team is 0-4 all-time within the walls of the Kentucky women’s home facility … Kentucky was picked to finish second in the Southeastern Conference this season after finishing the 2009-10 campaign 28-8 overall and 11-5 in SEC play while advancing to the regional finals of the NCAA Tournament after defeating Liberty, No. 24 Michigan State and No. 4 Nebraska … the Cats’ run to the Final Four ended with a loss to No. 12 Oklahoma in the Elite Eight, the game after the Sooners eliminated Notre Dame in overtime in the Sweet 16 (all games played at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.) … Kentucky’s Victoria Dunlap appeared on the preseason watch list for the 2011 John R. Wooden Women’s Award with Notre Dame’s Skylar Diggins.

Notes: The 35-game series with Marquette is the longest rivalry in Notre Dame women’s basketball history, while the 29 Irish wins over the Golden Eagles are also a program record … last season, Notre Dame downed the Golden Eagles, 82-67, on Senior Night at Purcell Pavilion to snap a two-game series skid … the Irish also moved to 18-1 all-time against Marquette at Purcell Pavilion, including an active 17-game winning streak (the Golden Eagles’ lone win in South Bend came on Feb. 2, 1980 - a 67-46 decision in Notre Dame’s final season as an AIAW Division III program) ... the Fighting Irish topped the 70-point mark for the 23rd time in the Marquette series, all coming in the past 29 games ... senior Melissa Lechlitner, wearing jersey number 23 and playing on the 23rd of February, scored a career-high 23 points, one more than her output at Purdue on Jan. 4, 2010 ... the last time the Irish visited Milwaukee on Jan. 13, 2009, Marquette downed Notre Dame, 75-65 … the Irish last defeated the Golden Eagles at the Al McGuire Center on Dec. 19, 2004 (50-47 on Jacqueline Batteast’s buzzer-beating three-pointer) … the Marquette record books also include two additional Golden Eagle victories, both of which came in 1976 (52-47 on Feb. 4 in Milwaukee; 45-41 on Feb. 28 in South Bend), prior to Notre Dame’s program elevating to varsity status in 1977-78 … prior to their current BIG EAST affiliation, Notre Dame and Marquette were conference mates in both the North Star (1986-99) and Midwestern Collegiate (1989-91) Conferences … the Irish are 11-2 all-time in conference play against the Golden Eagles, and were unbeaten prior to Marquette’s win in 2007 (the teams have split the past four matchups, both defending their home court twice).

Notes: Morehead State is one of three teams from the Commonwealth of Kentucky on the Notre Dame schedule (along with Kentucky and Louisville) … the Irish are 6-4 all-time against teams from the Bluegrass State, going 5-4 against Louisville and 1-0 against Western Kentucky, while this year marks the program’s first-ever matchups with Morehead State and Kentucky … the Irish have not played a current member of the Ohio Valley Conference since the program’s third season as a varsity sport, pulling out a 65-51 home win over SIUEdwardsville at the Huskie Invitational in DeKalb, Ill, on Jan. 11, 1980 … first-year head coach Tom Hodges is currently the youngest skipper in Division I – men’s or women’s – at 27 years old … senior Chynna Bozeman was named the Ohio Valley Preseason Player of the Year, as the Eagles were tabbed to finish second in the league behind Eastern Illinois … junior point guard Courtney Lumpkin was also part of the preseason all-OVC list … Bozeman, who was the 2009-10 Ohio Valley Player of the Year, led the conference and ranked 15th in the nation in scoring at 19.6 points per game last season while shattering the school and league records for three-pointers made (121) and attempted (340) in a season … her 648 points was the second-highest season total in school history … with another similar season in terms of stat totals, she could conclude her career with more than 2,000 points, 500 rebounds, 300 assists and 200 steals … the Eagles were 22-11 last season and 14-4 against Ohio Valley foes, a school record for league wins … the team advanced to the Women’s Basketball Invitational, the first postseason appearance since Morehead State was a staple in the AIAW National Tournaments in the pre-NCAA era.

Notes: New Hampshire is one of seven first-time opponents on Notre Dame’s non-conference slate … Notre Dame is 41-5 against first-time opponents since joining the BIG EAST Conference in 199596, including a 21-1 record since the start of the 2000-01 season, and a current 15-game win streak … Notre Dame has won 18 consecutive home games against first-time opponents since an 87-64 loss to Connecticut on Jan. 18, 1996 ... Notre Dame faced two new opponents last season, defeating Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 102-57 in the opener, and then downing Vermont, 84-66 in the second round of the NCAA Championship (both at Purcell Pavilion) … ironically, Vermont was the 2010 tournament champion in the America East Conference, the same league that New Hampshire belongs to … UNH junior forward Denise Beliveau is the squad’s lone preseason all-America East choice … New Hampshire head coach Maureen Magarity is in her first season at the helm of the program, and at 29 years old, she was the youngest coach of a Division I team – men’s or women’s – in the country at the time of her signing (before Morehead State women’s coach Tom Hodges supplanted her weeks later) … Magarity graduated from Marist in 2003, a school to which she transferred before beginning her collegiate playing career at Boston College … she was on the BC squad that fell to Notre Dame, 72-59, during the 1999-2000 regular season … the Irish are one of two BIG EAST programs on the Wildcats’ schedule, preceding UNH’s Nov. 29 contest at Syracuse … this game will coincide with a special 10-year reunion celebration for Notre Dame’s 2001 NCAA national championship squad … the contest will be the first regular-season game of the 2010-11 season, as Notre Dame is 25-8 (.758) all-time in season openers, including a 20-3 (.870) record in the Muffet McGraw era and an active 15-game winning streak that mirrors the program’s membership in the BIG EAST (1995-96 to present) … the Irish also sport a record of 25-8 (.759) in home openers with a 19-4 (.826) mark in the McGraw era ... the Irish topped the 100-point mark for the 12th time in school history during the 2009-10 season opener with a 102-57 victory over Arkansas PineBluff … Nashua native Kara Leary (1990-94), the starting point guard for Notre Dame’s 1994 NCAA tournament game against Minnesota, stakes the claim as the only player in Irish women’s basketball history to hail from the state of New Hampshire.

Notre Dame after the Irish took the first 16 matchups … Notre Dame has won the last three regular season contests, although nine of the past 11 series games have been decided by 12 points or fewer … last year, the Irish logged their highest point total against the Panthers (86) behind their 89 total on Feb. 17, 1996 ... Notre Dame has scored at least 65 points in 19 of the 21 series games against Pittsburgh ... in last year’s matchup Notre Dame dished out 25 assists, matching its second-highest output of the season (also Dec. 8 vs. IPFW and Jan. 12 vs. South Florida, both at home) and topped only by a 31-assist night in the season opener on Nov. 15 vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff (also at Purcell Pavilion) ... Irish senior guard Brittany Mallory and Pittsburgh senior forward Taneisha Harrison were teammates on the Fairfax Stars AAU 16-and-under squad in 2006 (Mallory’s father, Bob, was an assistant coach on that team) … Notre Dame freshman guard Kayla McBride hails from Erie, Pa., and was a two-time Pennsylvania Class AA Player of the Year while leading Villa Maria Academy to consecutive state titles in 2009 and 2010 … Irish coordinator of basketball operations Stephanie Menio is a 2004 Pittsburgh graduate who spent two years as a marketing assistant with the Panther women’s basketball program during her undergraduate days.

(79-75 in West Lafayette) and fifth in six games, although the Boilermakers still lead the all-time series, 14-9 (the Irish took a 9-8 edge since they joined the BIG EAST Conference in 1995-96) ... after losing its first eight games to Purdue on that road at Mackey Arena, Notre Dame has won its last two series games in West Lafayette, and four in a row overall in the building (counting 2008 NCAA Tournament first and second round wins over SMU and Oklahoma) ... another series trend that continued in 2010 — at least one of the two teams has scored 70 points in 15 of the 23 games, with the first team to reach that mark earning the win all 15 times ... Notre Dame is 40-48 (.476) all-time against the Big Ten Conference … the Irish also are 33-34 (.493) against the Big Ten in the Muffet McGraw era (1987-88 to present) … what’s more, Notre Dame has won 13 of its last 19 games versus Big Ten schools … Purdue is the only Big Ten school and one of four Indiana programs on Notre Dame’s slate this season (along with Butler, IUPUI and Valparaiso) … the Irish won both of their games against Big Ten Conference opponents in 2009-10 (also posting a 68-67 win at Michigan State on Nov. 19) ... the 2008 home meeting between Notre Dame and Purdue (a 62-51 Irish win) was played in front of a sold-out crowd of 11,418 at the Joyce Center, the sixth sellout in program history (last at the arena’s older and larger capacity) … it also was the first on-campus sellout in the 22-game series between the rivals … Notre Dame’s most frequent NCAA Tournament opponent has been Purdue: the Irish and Boilermakers have played one another four times in NCAA postseason competition, with each team winning twice (Notre Dame in 1996 and 2001; Purdue in 1998 and 2003) … the Irish and Boilermakers remain the only teams from the same state ever to play for the NCAA championship (2001) … fifth-year Purdue head coach Sharon Versyp grew up in Mishawaka (minutes from the Notre Dame campus) and was named Indiana Miss Basketball in 1984 while attending Mishawaka High School … another historical aspect to this rivalry — Notre Dame assistant coach Niele Ivey and Purdue assistant coach Ukari Figgs also squared off in the series as the starting point guards for their respective alma maters 14 seasons ago … the two floor generals split matchups in the 1997-98 campaign (Notre Dame won the regular season encounter, 77-71 in South Bend, Purdue won the NCAA Sweet 16 rematch, 70-65 in Lubbock, Texas), before each finished their careers on a high note with a national championship (Figgs in 1999, Ivey in 2001) … Irish senior forward Devereaux Peters and Purdue senior forward Samantha Woods were teammates at national powerhouse Fenwick High School in Oak Park, Ill., from 2003-04 through 2004-05 before Woods transferred to Bolingbrook High School for her final two prep seasons.

2010-11 OPPONENTS

Diggins

at Providence, the earliest Notre Dame has tipped off conference action since 2000-01, when the Irish defeated Villanova, 64-33 on Dec. 6, 2000, at Purcell Pavilion … Notre Dame is 11-4 (.733) in BIG EAST openers since joining the conference in 1995-96, including a 5-3 (.625) record when tipping off BIG EAST play on the road … Providence is one of two BIG EAST opponents (along with Cincinnati) that Notre Dame has never lost to, with a minimum of five series games played … the 18-game series win streak is also the longest active run for the Irish against a BIG EAST school, while Notre Dame’s active nine-game Purcell Pavilion win streak over the Friars also is tops among conference opponents … Notre Dame has scored at least 80 points in 10 of the 18 series games with Providence, while holding the Friars to 60 points or fewer in 12 of the last 15 meetings ... Notre Dame has won 15 of the 18 series meetings by double digits, with the exceptions coming on Jan. 5, 2002 (72-66 at South Bend), Feb. 16, 2003 (67-61 at Providence), and Feb. 28, 2009 (65-56 at Providence) … the Irish are 9-0 all-time against the Friars at Alumni Hall … in 2009, Notre Dame recorded 23 steals in their win over Providence, just one shy of the BIG EAST record and the most for the Irish in a single game since Jan. 28, 1995, when they nabbed 23 steals in a 98-50 win over Wisconsin-Milwaukee at the Joyce Center … Irish senior guard Brittany Mallory and Friar senior guard/forward Mi-Khida Hankins dueled regularly during their prep days in Baltimore, Md. — Mallory’s McDonogh School and Hankins’ St. Frances Academy are in the same conference with the schools playing a minimum of twice per year, and each player was a first-team all-Metro selection by the Baltimore Sun in 2006 and 2007 … McDonogh and St. Frances also met in the 2007 IAAM A Conference title game with St. Frances pulling out a 68-63 win.

Notre Dame snapped a five-game series losing streak versus Rutgers, collecting its first win over the Scarlet Knights since Jan. 23, 2005 (a 63-47 triumph at Purcell Pavilion) ... the Irish also broke a four-game skid at the Louis Brown Athletic Center, earning their first victory over Rutgers in Piscataway since Feb. 16, 2002 (a 57-52 win) ... the 12-point margin of victory was Notre Dame’s largest in its four series wins at Rutgers, with the other three victories all coming by single digits ... Notre Dame’s 75 points were the most it has scored against the Scarlet Knights since Feb. 19, 2000, when it logged a 78-74 overtime win in Piscataway (a game best remembered for then-freshman guard Alicia Ratay’s 7-for-7 effort from the threepoint line, including two triples in the final 16 seconds of regulation that forced the OT period) ... Notre Dame leads the all-time series at Purcell Pavilion by a 5-4 count, although the Scarlet Knights took a 78-68 victory during their last game in South Bend on Jan. 27, 2009 … Eleven of the 26 series matchups have been decided by single digits (including a pair of overtime contests in 2000) … the Scarlet Knights hold a 13-10 series edge over the Irish since both programs joined the BIG EAST in 1995-96.

Notre Dame has scored at least 66 points in 19 of the 22 series games against St. John’s ... six of the past eight series games between the Fighting Irish and Red Storm have been decided by 10 points or fewer, with the two schools splitting those six close affairs ... Notre Dame has a record of 48-5 (.906) all-time against New York-based schools, including a 25-0 mark at Purcell Pavilion (22 of those wins coming by double digits) ... with its 10 steals against St. John’s in their final 2010 meeting, Notre Dame set a new single-season school record with 399 steals, eclipsing the old mark of 397 that was set twice before (1990-91 and 2007-08) ... the Irish also chalked up double-digit steals for the 23rd time in the 2009-10 season … the 31 points allowed by Notre Dame vs. St. John’s on Feb. 13, 2002 at Purcell Pavilion represents the fourth-lowest opponent scoring total in school history, the second-lowest by a Division I opponent (tied last year in 90-31 win over Charlotte), and the lowest ever by a conference opponent (in any league — North Star, Midwestern Collegiate or BIG EAST) … second-year St. John’s assistant coach Megan Duffy was a standout point guard at Notre Dame from 2002-06, earning All-America and Academic All-America honors as a senior in 2005-06.

Notre Dame is 9-2 all-time at Seton Hall’s Walsh Gymnasium, posting its largest margin of victory last year at that facility since Jan. 21, 2001 ... the Irish have limited Seton Hall to 61 points or fewer in 18 of the past 19 series games, with the exception being Seton Hall’s 74-61 win over the Irish on Jan. 7, 2006, at Purcell Pavilion ... Notre Dame also notched its second-best defensive effort of the 2009-10 BIG EAST season by allowing only 47 points, one more than Villanova scored in an 81-46 Fighting Irish win on Jan. 9 at Purcell Pavilion ... Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw will join her Seton Hall counterpart, Anne Donovan, in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame when McGraw’s induction takes place in June 2011 (Donovan was enshrined as part of the Hall’s inaugural class in 1999, honored primarily for her efforts as a player at Old Dominion in the 1980s) … Irish senior guard Brittany Mallory and Pirate junior forward Kandice Green are no strangers to one another, having played regularly during their high school days in Baltimore, Md. – Mallory’s McDonogh School and Green’s St. Frances Academy are in the same conference with the schools playing a minimum of twice per year … McDonogh and St. Frances also met in the 2007 IAAM A Conference title game with St. Frances pulling out a 68-63 win.

2009-10 REVIEW

Current Irish vs. South Florida

the Irish have won 22 of the past 23 meetings (eight in a row), including all 19 regular season games since Notre Dame joined the BIG EAST Conference in 1995-96 … the lone Syracuse win during that span came on March 3, 2002, when the Orange defeated the Irish, 84-79 in the BIG EAST Championship quarterfinals at Piscataway, N.J. … Syracuse is one of eight programs against whom Notre Dame has at least 20 series wins (tied for second most against one opponent in Irish history, along with Georgetown and Valparaiso) … Notre Dame has scored 70 or more points in 20 of the 25 series contests, while Syracuse has reached that mark just four times (most recently last season, when the Irish pulled out a 74-73 win at the Carrier Dome on Ashley Barlow’s three-pointer with 34.2 seconds left … five of past six series games with Syracuse have been decided by 13 points or fewer, including four at SU … for the sixth time in the past seven games with Syracuse, a Notre Dame player tied or set a new career high, as Skylar Diggins matched her (then) season-best scoring output with 21 points last year ... Notre Dame senior forward Devereaux Peters and Syracuse senior guard Erica Morrow both played in the 2007 McDonald’s High School All-America Game in Louisville — Peters tallied five points, seven rebounds and a season-high of four steals, while Morrow came off the bench to tally 14 points, seven rebounds and two steals.

since the Bulls joined the BIG EAST in 2005-06 has kept the Irish and the Bulls on their toes, with two games decided in overtime and a third by seven points … last season, the two squads locked horns at Purcell Pavilion, where the Irish downed the Bulls, 81-64 … Notre Dame has scored at least 70 points in seven of the last eight series games … the last time the Irish took on South Florida at the Sun Dome (2008-09 season), Notre Dame downed USF in a hard-fought 86-79 battle … the Irish are 23-5 (.821) all-time against Florida schools (9-3 at home), including a 2-0 record in 2009-10 season (also won 85-52 at UCF on Dec. 29) ... Vincent J. Naimoli, the founding owner of the 2008 American League champion Tampa Bay Rays, is a 1959 Notre Dame graduate and, in 2007, he donated $5 million towards the Purcell Pavilion/Joyce Center renovation project, with the arena’s new club/hospitality area located high above the south side of the court officially named the Naimoli Family Club Room (but better known colloquially as “Club Naimoli”) … Notre Dame has had eight Floridians suit up for the Irish in the program’s 34-year history, most recently Fort Lauderdale guard Alena Christiansen, who graduated in 2010.

2010-11 OPPONENTS

opponents for the Irish in 2010-11 … the Redhawks also will face Notre Dame’s fellow BIG EAST Conference member Louisville during the season … after never facing an Ohio Valley Conference program prior to 2010-11, Notre Dame will face two this season (Southeast Missouri State and Morehead State) …Southeast Missouri State was selected to finish 10th in the OVC preseason poll … the Irish are 9-1 all-time against schools from the Show Me State, with a 6-1 record against Saint Louis, a 2-0 record against Missouri State and a 1-0 mark against Missouri … Notre Dame last played a team from Missouri on March 21, 2004, pulling out a 69-65 overtime win over Missouri State in the first round of the NCAA Championship at Purcell Pavilion … since joining the BIG EAST for the 1995-96 season, the Irish are 13-2 in their first game of a new calendar year, having won four in a row and six of their last seven, with the lone setback in that time being a 66-63 loss at St. John’s on Jan. 4, 2006 … two of the more noteworthy point guards in Notre Dame women’s basketball history hailed from the state of Missouri, growing up only two hours away from Southeast Missouri’s Cape Girardeau campus — Mollie Peirick (1994-98) is a native of Eureka, Mo., while current Irish assistant coach Niele Ivey (1996-2001) came out of St. Louis.

Wooden Women’s Award preseason watch list … this year’s matchup is being contested as part of the inaugural Super Six Series, which pits two teams from each of the participating conferences in six high-profile early-season games at on-campus sites; each conference will have one home and one road game annually in the Series, with games played during the opening two weeks of the season (the other BIG EAST representative is Pittsburgh, who will visit Minnesota) … Notre Dame is 22-14 (.611) all-time against teams from the state of California, including a 20-6 (.769) record in the Muffet McGraw era (1987-88 to present), and an 11-3 (.786) record at Purcell Pavilion … the Irish faced a team from the Golden State just last season, defeating San Diego State, 84-79 on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 26, 2009) at the Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands … the last California team to visit Purcell Pavilion was USC on Nov. 27, 2005, with Notre Dame defeating the No. 24/21 Women of Troy, 73-62.

Notes: Notre Dame improved to 23-0 all-time against Valparaiso (11-0 at home) with last season’s 88-47 win at Purcell Pavilion … the 41-point margin was the largest in South Bend since Dec. 17, 1995 (90-44 Notre Dame win) ... the Irish also have held the Crusaders to fewer than 60 points in 21 of 23 series meetings, while topping that 60-point mark themselves in 16 of 23 series contests ... the series with the Crusaders has tightened considerably in recent years, with six of the past nine games decided by 10 points or fewer, with the majority of those nailbiters coming at Valparaiso’s Athletics-Recreation Center … Notre Dame’s 23 wins over Valparaiso are the most victories for the Irish against an Indiana opponent, and tied for second-most against any foe in program history (topped only by 29 wins vs. Marquette and tied with Georgetown and Syracuse) … Valparaiso holds a special place in Notre Dame women’s basketball history as the first-ever opponent for the Irish as a varsity-level program on Dec. 3, 1977 (a 48-41 Notre Dame win at Purcell Pavilion) … it was the start of three seasons the Irish spent as an AIAW Division III entity before elevating to Division I in 1980-81 … Notre Dame senior forward Becca Bruszewski is a native of Valparaiso and graduated from nearby Wheeler High School in 2007 … Irish sophomore guard Skylar Diggins and Valparaiso senior forward Ashley Varner are graduates of South Bend’s Washington High School and were teammates on the school’s 2007 Class 4A state championship team … Notre Dame is 105-14 (.882) all-time against the Horizon League, including a 54-5 (.915) record at Purcell Pavilion after also defeating Cleveland State, 86-58, while hosting the first round of the 2010 NCAA Championship … as a former member of the Horizon League (back when it was known as the Midwestern Collegiate Conference from 1988-95), the Irish have extensive experience against several of its members … in addition, Notre Dame and Valparaiso were regular opponents long before the Crusaders moved to the Horizon League from the Mid-Continent Conference (now known as the Summit League) in 2007-08.

Notes: Villanova has won seven of the last 13 meetings with the Irish … the momentum swing in this series constantly changes, but after two losses in the 2008-09 season, the Irish regained control with an 81-46 win over the Wildcats last season … the 81 points were two shy of Notre Dame’s series high, set in an 83-53 win on Feb. 28, 1999, at the BIG EAST Championship quarterfinals in Piscataway, N.J. … Notre Dame has scored at least 65 points in its last three games against Villanova after failing to do so in the previous seven contests … the Irish have forced 106 Wildcat turnovers (more than 21 per game) in the past five series games … last year’s win over Villanova also marked Notre Dame’s 100th BIG EAST victory at Purcell Pavilion … nearly half (12) of the 26 games in the series have been decided by eight points or fewer, with the teams splitting those 12 close contests … since 2002, eight of the past 11 series games have been decided by a grand total of 35 points (4.4 ppg.) and seven of the eight were in doubt inside the final minute of play … Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw is a native of West Chester, Pa., is a 1977 graduate of Saint Joseph’s University, later spent two years as head coach at Archbishop Carroll High School in Radnor, Pa. (50-3 record) and two years as an assistant coach under Jim Foster at Saint Joseph’s (1980-82), and is a member of three halls of fame in the Philadelphia area – the SJU Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (inducted 1986), the Philadelphia Big Five Hall of Fame (inducted 1990) and the SJU Athletics Hall of Fame (inducted 2002) … Villanova strength and conditioning coach Lon Record spent six years on the staff at Notre Dame from 2000-01 through 2005-06.

2010-11 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

HISTORY

Diggins

BIG EAST

at Purcell Pavilion … WVU was the highest AP ranked opponent the Irish beat since March 25, 2008, when the Fighting Irish downed No. 14 Oklahoma, 79-75, in overtime in the second round of the NCAA Championship … the Mountaineers were the highest ESPN/USA Today-ranked opponent (11th) Notre Dame defeated since Dec. 6, 2006, when the Fighting Irish toppled ninth-ranked Purdue, 67-58 … Notre Dame has an all-time record of 17-2 against West Virginia, including a 10-0 mark at Purcell Pavilion ... the past six series games all have been decided by 12 points or fewer, including the past three decided by single digits … Notre Dame has scored at least 70 points in 15 of 19 games against WVU, while limiting the Mountaineers to less than 60 points nine times ... Notre Dame has twice scored 100 points against WVU, the only BIG EAST opponent against whom the Irish have managed to hit triple digits multiple times … last season’s matinee represented the second time both Notre Dame and West Virginia entered a series game ranked (the 16th-ranked Mountaineers defeated the 14th-ranked Irish, 56-50 on Jan. 13, 2008, in Morgantown) … in 10 of its last 14 games against Notre Dame, WVU has scored exactly in a 10-point window (54-64 points), including two 54-point games and three 64-point nights … the greater Baltimore area will be well-represented when the two teams square off with three residents suiting up … Notre Dame senior guard Brittany Mallory is a 2007 graduate of the McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Md., while West Virginia sophomore guard Akeema Richards matriculated from Baltimore’s Western High School in 2009, and classmate Asya Bussie attended Seton Keough High School on the city’s southwest side … Mallory and Bussie actually played against one another several times in the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons, with the McDonogh-Seton Keough rivalry among the best in the city (and state) at that time.

2009-10 REVIEW

Notes: Never before has Notre Dame played Wake Forest, but that will change on day two of the WBCA Classic … Notre Dame is 12-2 (.846) all-time against teams from the state of North Carolina — including a 4-0 record at Purcell Pavilion — following a 2009 home win over Charlotte … that may be a good indications of things to come, as the 90-31 romp over the 49ers was the fourth-largest margin of victory in Irish history (59 points) and their largest since Nov, 24, 1989, when Notre Dame set a school record in that category by defeating Liberty, 113-35, in the first round of the UCF Rotary Classic in Orlando, Fla. … before the win over Charlotte, the last time the Irish played host to a team from the Tar Heel State was on Nov. 17, 2004, when Notre Dame downed sixth-ranked Duke, 76-65 in the semifinals of the Preseason WNIT … Wake Forest was picked to finish ninth in the Atlantic Coast Conference, coming an 18-14 campaign that saw them finish tied for fifth in the ACC … the Demon Deacons and seventh-year head coach Mike Petersen return four starters, 10 letterwinners and 90 percent of their scoring … only two Irish players have hailed from North Carolina state: Mary Joan Forbes (1980-81) of Raleigh and Erica Williamson (2006-10) of Charlotte … Notre Dame is 40-17 (.702) all-time against the current alignment of the Atlantic Coast Conference, including a 35-11 (.761) record against the present ACC in the Muffet McGraw era (1987-88 to present), with a 19-1 (.950) mark at Purcell Pavilion — that lone home loss in the McGraw era was an 80-70 setback to Miami (Fla.) on Jan. 11, 2003 when the Hurricanes were playing in the BIG EAST … the Irish last played an ACC opponent on Nov. 23, 2008, winning 102-54 at former BIG EAST foe Boston College … BC also is the last ACC visitor to Purcell Pavilion, with Notre Dame downing the Eagles, 88-58 on Nov. 24, 2007 … Wake Forest will be the 10th current ACC member Notre Dame has played, leaving Clemson and Florida State as the only ACC programs Notre Dame has yet to see on the hardwood.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

Fighting Irish Travel Besides being one of the most consistently successful programs in the nation, Notre Dame is one of its most well-traveled. Since joining the BIG EAST in 1995-96, the Irish have played in 74 different cities in 32 states (plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands), spanning more than 10,000 miles and seven time zones from coast to coast and beyond.

Season in Review

Notre Dame enjoyed one of the finest seasons in program history in 2009-10, winning 29 games and advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the eighth time in the past 14 seasons.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

2009-10 Season Notebook Sweet Reward Notre Dame turned in one of the finest seasons in the program’s 33-year history in 2009-10 with a 29-6 record (third-most wins in school annals), defeating Cleveland State (86-58) and Vermont (84-66) to earn its eighth trip to the NCAA Sweet 16 (regional semifinals) in the past 14 seasons. The Fighting Irish also finished the season ranked No. 7 in the final Associated Press poll and No. 11 in the year-end ESPN/USA Today coaches’ poll.

Postseason Success

Polling Station Notre Dame was ranked seventh in the final 200910 Associated Press poll, marking the fourth time in program history that the Fighting Irish ended in the top 10 of the year-end AP poll (and first since a three-year run from 1999-2001, capped with a No. 2 ranking in ’01). Earlier in the 2009-10 season, Notre Dame had a stretch of 15 consecutive weeks in which it appeared in the AP Top 5 (peaking at No. 3 for seven weeks), the second-longest top-five run in school history behind a 17-week string in 2000-01.

Notre Dame made its 17th NCAA Championship appearance, and 15th in a row in 2009-10. The Fighting Irish have a 27-16 (.628) all-time record in NCAA postseason play, ranking 11th in the NCAA record books in that category (with a minimum of 20 tournament games played). What’s more, Notre Dame is one of only 11 schools in the country to have advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 at least eight times since 1997, and the Fighting Irish also are one of just 11 programs to make multiple trips to the NCAA Women’s Final Four and take home a national championship (making the semifinals in 1997 before winning it all in 2001).

Island Division against No. 23/24 San Diego State (8479), South Carolina (78-55) and No. 20/17 Oklahoma (81-71), securing the program’s first regular season tournament title since 2005. Along the way, Notre Dame set a tournament record by scoring 243 total points, breaking the previous mark (242) set by Tennessee in ’05. There also was a distinct South Bend flavor on the Paradise Jam Island Division All-Tournament Team, as freshman guard Skylar Diggins (16.3 ppg., 4.7 rpg., 3.0 apg., .538 FG%, .545 3FG%) was named the tournament Most Valuable Player — the first Fighting Irish freshman in 10 seasons to earn alltournament team honors at a regular season event — and senior guard Melissa Lechlitner (9.3 ppg., 3.7 apg.) earned a place on the all-tournament team.

Ashley Sets The Bar Senior guard Ashley Barlow entered uncharted territory as her career at Notre Dame concluded in 2009-10. A three-time all-BIG EAST selection (twice on the second team) and two-year team captain, Barlow became the first Fighting Irish player (male or female) ever to amass 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists and 250 steals under the Golden Dome. The Indianapolis native graduated with a place among the top 10 on 12 of the school’s career statistical charts, including scoring (ninth - 1,492 points), three-pointers made (sixth - 139), steals (tied/third - 281), free throw percentage (fifth .809), games played (tied/fifth - 130) and doublefigure scoring games (tied/eighth - 78).

The WBCA’s primary Pink Zone charitable partner is the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, with additional donations from Notre Dame’s event going locally to the Foundation For Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center’s Women’s Task Force.

2010-11 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

HISTORY

For the first time in school history, Notre Dame placed three players on the State Farm/WBCA AllRegion I Team in 2009-10. Senior guard Ashley Barlow, freshman guard Skylar Diggins and fifth-year senior guard Lindsay Schrader were among the 12 regional selections from an area that covers teams from the BIG EAST, America East, Atlantic 10 and Northeast conferences, as well as the Ivy Group and Patriot

Lindsay Schrader was a leader for Notre Dame in 200910. From the competitive fire that burned on a nightly basis, to the willingness to do whatever was necessary for her team to win, Schrader was the engine that drove the Fighting Irish to seldom-seen heights last season. A three-time all-BIG EAST choice (twice on the first team) and a two-year team captain, Schrader started her Notre Dame career on the wing, but moved into the post for her final season and wound up logging AllAmerica numbers with 11.3 points and a team-high 6.9 rebounds per game, along with a team-best six doubledoubles and a career-high .540 field goal percentage. When all was said and done, Schrader ranked among the top 10 in school history in nine career categories, most notably rebounds (sixth - 828), games started (tied/second - 124) and consecutive games started (sixth - 73), while also holding Fighting Irish records for double-doubles by a guard in a career (17) and a single season (seven in 2008-09). What’s more, she became

RECORDS

Freshman guard Skylar Diggins and fifthyear senior guard Lindsay Schrader earned a pair of All-America citations in 2009-10, as the Fighting Irish duo each was named a honorable mention AllAmerican by the Associated Press and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA). It was the first time either player took home All-America accolades, and they became the first Notre Dame All-America honorees since 2008, when Charel Allen was tabbed an honorable mention All-American by the AP.

Notre Dame helped make history on Jan. 16, 2010, taking part in the first women’s basketball game to be the centerpiece of ESPN’s popular “College Gameday” show with its visit to Connecticut. Hall of Fame broadcaster Dick Vitale served as one of ESPN’s analysts for the game itself (which aired in primetime), while the College Gameday crew of Rece Davis, Jay Bilas, Hubert Davis, Doris Burke and former Notre Dame men’s basketball coach Digger Phelps broadcast two live shows during the day and evening leading up to tipoff.

BIG EAST

Ashley Barlow capped off her brilliant run at Notre Dame in 2009-10, becoming the first Irish player (male or female) ever to pile up at least 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 250 assists and 250 steals in her career.

2009-10 REVIEW

Irish Appear On Historic ESPN College Gameday

2010-11 OPPONENTS

One of Notre Dame’s defining characteristics in 2009-10 was its penchant for creating havoc at the defensive end of the floor. In fact, the Fighting Irish not only set a school record for steals (450) and ranks fourth in the nation in that category (12.9 spg.), but they also had five players record at least 40 thefts during the year, the third time in four years Notre Dame has pulled off that feat. What’s more, the Fighting Irish had two different players log at least 80 steals last season, the first time in the program’s 33year history that has occurred. Freshman guard Skylar Diggins shattered the Notre Dame rookie record with 90 steals (tying for fifth among all classes in school history), while senior guard Ashley Barlow nabbed a career-high 80 steals, securing her place as just the third Fighting Irish player to post four consecutive seasons of at least 60 steals, joining Coquese Washington (1989-90 through 1992-93) and current Notre Dame assistant coach Niele Ivey (1997-98 through 2000-01) in that elite company.

COACHES

Senior point guard Melissa Lechlitner was named the Notre Dame Monogram Club Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive season after leading the team in assists (3.2 apg.), three-point percentage (.420) and free throw percentage (.849), setting new career highs in all three categories. A two-year team captain, she also was among the team leaders in scoring (8.4 ppg.) and assist/turnover ratio (1.27) while starting all 35 games and playing a team-high 1,030 minutes. With Lechlitner at the helm, Notre Dame ranked among the top 11 in the country in assists (sixth - 18.1 apg.), assist/turnover ratio (10th - 1.11) and scoring offense (11th - 77.2 ppg.), posting just the third positive A/TO ratio for an entire season in school history (but the second in three years, both with Lechlitner on the roster). A member of the 2010 NCAA Kansas City Regional All-Tournament Team after scoring 22 points in the Sweet 16 game against Oklahoma, Lechlitner also was a standout in the classroom, compiling a 3.38 cumulative grade-point average and earning ESPN The Magazine Academic AllDistrict Second Team honors while finishing up work on her degree in psychology.

STUDENT-ATHLETES

The Fighting Irish finished among the top 16 in the nation in nine separate NCAA statistical categories last season. Notre Dame’s highest rankings were fourth in both steals (12.9 spg.) and average attendance (8,377 per game), and sixth in assists (18.1 apg.). The Fighting Irish also posted top-10 rankings in turnover margin (ninth - 6.29) and assist/turnover ratio (10th - 1.11), with other top-16 finishes in scoring offense (11th - 77.2 ppg.), scoring margin (13th - 14.9 ppg.), wonloss percentage (14th - .829) and field goal percentage (16th - .454).

only the fourth player in school history with at least 1,400 points and 800 rebounds in her career (she ranks 13th all-time at Notre Dame with 1,429 points).

2010-11 PREVIEW

Notre Dame broke or tied no fewer than six singleseason school records in 2009-10. The Fighting Irish set standards for steals (450), turnovers forced (791), home wins (16), average attendance (8,377 per game), total home attendance (142,212) and sellout crowds (6). In addition, Notre Dame’s No. 4 finish in the final NCAA attendance rankings was a program best, fueled by record-setting sales that saw more than 7,000 season ticket packages gobbled up before the campaign even tipped off.

League. The Fighting Irish trio — each of whom earned all-region honors for the first time in their careers — also were the first Notre Dame players selected to the region squad since 2007 (Charel Allen). Diggins and Schrader subsequently were named among the 40 national finalists for the State Farm Coaches’ All-America Team, with both Fighting Irish players earning honorable mention All-America status.

BIG EAST Conference

For the second consecutive season, the BIG EAST sent a record-setting 13 teams to postseason play in 2009-10, paced by NCAA national champion Connecticut and NCAA Sweet 16 participant Notre Dame.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

The BIG EAST Conference The 2010-11 academic year will be the 32nd in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2010-11 year will mark the conference’s sixth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. The BIG EAST Conference’s goals have always been the same. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2009-10 year was no different. Seven BIG EAST student-athletes were named NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Maya Moore, Connecticut’s women’s basketball standout, won the NCAA Honda-Broderick Award as the nation’s top female student-athlete. She also was named the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American of the Year for women’s basketball. Moore was the fifth BIG EAST women’s student-athlete to win the Honda-Broderick Award. In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its second straight national championship and its seventh overall crown. The Villanova women’s cross country team also won the NCAA title. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup for the fourth straight year. The Syracuse women’s lacrosse squad reached the Final Four. On the men’s side, West Virginia’s basketball team became the BIG EAST’s 16th team to reach the NCAA Final Four and won the conference’s academic achievement award. The Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA championship game. Individually, three BIG EAST student-athletes won NCAA titles. Cincinnati’s Josh Schneider won the 50 freestyle in men’s swimming. In track, Louisville’s D’Ana McCarty repeated as the NCAA indoor winner in the weight throw. Louisville’s Matt Hughes won the 3,000 steeplechase. Another Cardinal, Austen Childs, was the national runner-up in men’s tennis singles. BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Cincinnati won its second straight league championship in 2009 and compiled an undefeated regular season. The Bearcats finished third in the final Bowl Championship Series standings. Six of the league’s eight squads went to bowl games and helped the BIG EAST post a 4-2 bowl record. Rutgers, one of the bowl winners, also was recognized for having the nation’s highest NCAA APR rating, which measures academic success. The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who are at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2009-10, 22 BIG EAST players from 10 schools were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams. Over 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 35 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 28 national championships in six different sports and

112

128 student-athletes have won individual national titles. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 12 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken seven of the last 11 NCAA titles. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST added men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which increased its total to 24 sport championships. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven-school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad-based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student-athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was

the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST had one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who had served as senior associate commissioner, moved into the Commissioner’s chair and continued to steer the conference on its path of success. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past seven years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. More than 575 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned All-America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well-represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.

Notre Dame’s BIG EAST Conference Titles Since joining the BIG EAST Conference in 1995-96, Notre Dame has won more conference championships (106) than any other school in the league:

Two-time North Star Conference Player of the Year Trena Keys was not only a great scorer, but also a great defender during her time at Notre Dame in the mid-1980s. To this day, her shot blocking averages as a junior (1.5 in 1983-84) and senior (1.0 in 1985-86) remain among the top six class marks in Fighting Irish history.

THE FIGHTING IRISH

National Team Players Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw always has stressed the value of international experience when it comes to developing successful student-athletes. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Fighting Irish players have played a prominent role on the rosters of numerous national team squads, both within the United States and internationally, during the past two decades. Most recently, freshman forward Natalie Achonwa competed for her home country as a member of the Canadian Senior Women’s National Team at the 2010 FIBA World Championships in the Czech Republic. The youngest player ever to suit up for Canada’s top team, Achonwa saw action in all eight games for Canada at the World Championships, averaging 4.6 points and 3.9 rebounds per game, ranking fourth on her team in scoring and third in rebounding. She also tossed in a personal-best 12 points and eight rebounds in a second-round game against reigning European champion France, as Canada finished 12th at the World Championships. Achonwa made her Canadian Senior National Team debut as a 16-year-old at the 2009 FIBA Americas Championship in Brazil, averaging 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds per game and helping Canada to a bronze medal and its second consecutive berth in the FIBA World Championships. Achonwa also competed at the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championships in Thailand, averaging 10.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game to rank among the top three on the team in both categories. She also was selected as a third-team all-star at the tournament after sparking Canada to a fourthplace finish, its best showing at the tournament. Achonwa saw her first international experi-

Megan Duffy shows off her gold medal she won as the starting point guard for the 2005 USA World University Games Team, what many consider the most dominating champion in that tournament’s history. With Duffy at the helm, the United States went 7-0 and outscored its opponents by a staggering 43.1 points per game.

ence with the Canadian Junior National Team at age 15, participating in the 2008 FIBA U18 Americas Championship in Argentina. There, she averaged 7.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game (both among the top five on the team) as Canada earned a silver medal and a berth at the following year’s World Championships. Achonwa wasn’t the only Fighting Irish freshman to compete on the international stage this past summer. Guard Kayla McBride earned a place on the United States U18 National Team that took home the gold medal at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship in Colorado Springs, Colo. McBride started all five games for Team USA at the tournament, averaging 8.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game with a .500 field goal percentage and .846 free throw percentage, ranking among the top four on the team in scoring, free throw percentage and steals. While at the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championships, Achonwa crossed paths with current Notre Dame sophomore guard Skylar Diggins, who served as co-captain of the United States squad that rolled to the gold medal under the guidance of current Fighting Irish associate coach Carol Owens. Diggins started eight of the USA’s nine games at the U19 Worlds (missing her pool play matchup with Achonwa’s Canada side due to illness), averaging 11.6 points (third on the team, 16th for the entire tournament), 3.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists (second on the team, 11th for the entire tournament) and 1.1 steals per game, as well as an .857 free throw percentage (tied for third in the entire tournament) and nine three-pointers (.333 percentage was second on team and 12th in tournament), while her 2.5 assist/turnover ratio would have been tops for the entire tournament, but she was one assist shy of the minimum qualifying standard. The 2009 U19 title was the latest in a trio of gold medal efforts by Diggins between 2007-09. In

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME®

2007, she competed at the USA Basketball Youth Development Festival in Colorado Springs, helping the White Team to a 5-0 record and top honors. A year later, Diggins competed at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship in Argentina, starting all five games for Owens’ American squad and leading the Stars & Stripes to a 5-0 record and the gold medal. In that tournament, Diggins registered per-game averages of 10.8 points (second on the team), 3.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists (first on the team) and 2.0 steals (tied for first on the team), while also ranking among the top 10 for the entire tournament in scoring (10th), field goal percentage (7th - .500), assists (2nd), steals (tied-8th) and assist/ turnover ratio (2nd - 2.00). Melissa Lechlitner (’10) was a member of the 2007 USA U19 World Championship Team that rolled to a 9-0 record and the gold medal. Lechlitner averaged 4.6 points and 1.4 assists while appearing in all nine games for the United States. She also ranked third on the team with 13 steals and shared team-high honors with an .808 free throw percentage (also the third-best among all players at the tournament). In addition, her 10-of10 performance at the line in a second-round win over South Korea set new USA Basketball U19 records for free throws made and percentage in a single game. Lechlitner followed in the footsteps of another Notre Dame point guard, All-American Megan Duffy (’06), who played on the 2005 USA World University Games Team. Duffy was the starting point guard in all seven games for Team USA, averaging 6.1 points and 2.1 assists with a team-high .400 three-point percentage as the United States went a perfect 7-0 and won the gold medal. In 2004, standout center Ruth Riley (’01) was a member of the U.S. Senior National Team that went undefeated and won the gold medal at the Athens Olympics. Riley averaged 3.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game with a .667 field goal percentage during the Games, seeing action in seven of Team USA’s eight contests.

Morgan, Notre Dame’s all-time leading scorer, was the first Irish player ever invited to a national team tryout in Colorado Springs, Colo., in June of 1996. The Bloomington, Ind., native earned a spot on the USA Women’s Select Team, a special developmental squad designed by USA Basketball to help give elite college players additional international experience while improving the United States’ talent pool. After being named to the squad, Morgan and the squad remained in Colorado Springs to train and scrimmage with the 1996 USA Jones Cup Team against the Russian Olympic Team. In the summer of ’97, Morgan and Gaither, who ended her Irish career as the second all-time leading scorer and rebounder in school history, were named to the USA Women’s World Championship Qualifying Team. The team captured the silver medal at the World Championship Qualifying Tournament in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Prior to the Qualifying Tournament, the squad made a three-game sweep of the Canadian National Team and won both of its contests against the German National Team. The squad posted a 4-1 record and finished first at the Grand Prix of Slovakia in Myjvava, Slovakia, and went undefeated posting a 3-0 mark with victories over Lithuania, Germany and Italy to win the Super Cup tournament in Bremen, Germany. In earlier years, Notre Dame also had several players compete at the U.S. Olympic Festival during its existence from 1978-95 — Trena Keys (1982-83 for North Team), Heidi Bunek (1985-86 for North Team), Karen Robinson (1987 and 1989 for East Team) and Kristin Knapp (1991 for West Team). Both Bunek and Robinson earned a silver and bronze medal in their two appearances, while Knapp took home a bronze in her only visit. McGraw herself served as an assistant coach with the South Team at the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival, helping that squad post a perfect 4-0 record and claim the gold medal.

THIS IS NOTRE DAME

Riley thus became one of only seven players in history to win a NCAA title (Notre Dame 2001), a WNBA championship (Detroit - 2003 and 2006) and an Olympic gold medal (2004). She also capped off an unprecedented gold rush by Notre Dame alumnae in Athens, as former Irish studentathletes won four gold medals at the ‘04 Olympics. Riley’s Olympic stint was her third with the USA Women’s Basketball program. As a member of the 1999 U.S. World University Games team, she was the third-leading scorer (10.3 ppg.) and second-leading rebounder (5.1 rpg.) as she helped her squad to a 4-2 record in capturing the silver medal. She scored in double figures in four of the six contests with her best game coming against South Africa when she had 16 points and nine rebounds, personal highs during the tournament. Riley also averaged 7.3 points and 5.3 rebounds at the Spanish International Tournament, a tuneup to the World University Games. Following her freshman season in 1997-98, Riley was a dominant force as a member of the 1998 USA Women’s Select Team. She helped the squad to a 7-1 record against teams from Puerto Rico, Poland and Spain during its 15-day tour. Riley was the team’s second-leading scorer (10.3 ppg.) and top rebounder (7.5 rpg.). She recorded two double-double performances as the Irish went 3-0 against Puerto Rico to open the tour. She had 12 points and 11 rebounds in the opening game, and in the third and final contest versus Puerto Rico, Riley finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds. In the eight-game tour, Riley led the team in rebounding on four occasions. Former class of 1997 standouts Beth Morgan (Cunningham) and Katryna Gaither also were members of USA teams, competing in the summer of 1999 for the Pan American Games team that won the bronze in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Morgan played in all seven games during the Pan Am Games and averaged 5.1 points, while Gaither played in six contests and registered 1.2 points and 1.3 rebounds.
