No. 6 Notre Dame 75, Pittsburgh women 47
PITTSBURGH – Courtney LaVere came off the bench to lead No. 6 Notre Dame’s pivotal 14-0 run late in the first half after Marcedes Walker, Pittsburgh’s leading scorer, got into foul trouble, and the Fighting Irish cruised to a victory.
LaVere scored 11 of her 17 points in the first half to help Notre Dame (20-3, 8-2 Big East) break open what was a tight game for 14 minutes. The Irish turned a 24-18 lead into a 38-18 advantage over a five-minute stretch that saw Walker, Pitt’s only effective inside player draw her third foul.
With Walker out, the 6-1 LaVere and 6-3 Teresa Borton dominated inside against Pittsburgh (11-10, 3-7), which was far less physical without the Big East’s third leading rebounder.
