Irish women wallop Wake, 100-64
(Notre Dame) — Six players scored in double figures and the third-ranked Notre Dame women’s basketball team easily crushed Wake Forest, 100-64, Thursday evening at Purcell Pavilion.
Hannah Hidalgo led the way with 23 points followed by Liatu King (17), Sonia Citron (16), Maddy Westbeld (14), Olivia Miles (13) and Kate Koval (11).
“Having a lot of depth and opportunities for rotations and matchups, I was really pleased with this win,” Irish head coach Niele Ivey said after the game. “With the physicality and long stretch of the season, having more bodies to be able to compete is only going to help us.”
This game was never in doubt, as Notre Dame jumped to a 10-0 lead and never looked back. The always-loyal Purcell Pavilion crowd seemed to make the most noise for Westbeld, making her first home appearance after missing the first 13 games of the year with a foot injury.
“It’s super exciting to have everyone back,” King said. “Coach Ivey says it all the time, ‘pick your poison.’ Any of us can go out there and give opponents a hard time.”
Notre Dame is now 13-2 (4-0 in ACC play) heading to a Sunday afternoon clash at Clemson.
