Observer Sports Staff | Monday, April 14, 2014

Two former Notre Dame stars had a short wait before they heard their names called Monday night, as Kayla McBride and Natalie Achonwa were both among the top 10 players selected in the WNBA Draft, held in Uncasville, Conn. McBride, an All-American guard and national player of the year candidate, was taken with the third

Offensive woes doom Irish in title game

Greg Hadley | Wednesday, April 9, 2014

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With 27 seconds left in the first half of the national championship game, Irish sophomore guard Jewell Loyd ducked behind a screen from a teammate at the top of the key and drained a long 3-pointer to pull No. 2 Notre Dame within five points of top-seeded Connecticut, the closest the Irish

Irish rebounds key to victory over Maryland

Greg Hadley | Monday, April 7, 2014

Just 27 seconds after the opening tip, No. 1-seed Notre Dame had three offensive rebounds and all the momentum against No. 4-seed Maryland. After losing senior forward Natalie Achonwa to a torn ACL in the Elite Eight, the Irish (37-0, 16-0 ACC) faced the daunting task of replacing their leading rebounder while facing the Terrapins

Vicky Jacobsen | Monday, April 7, 2014

Greg Hadley | Thursday, April 3, 2014

Without All-American senior forward Natalie Achonwa, No. 2 Notre Dame faces an uphill battle Sunday in the Final Four when they play No. 11 Maryland in the Nashville, Tenn. Achonwa, who tore her ACL in the closing minutes of Notre Dame’s 88-69 victory over No. 5 Baylor in the Elite Eight on Monday, will have

Irish roll to Nashville, now must replace Achonwa

Samantha Zuba | Thursday, April 3, 2014

Some might have hoped, but few predicted the 2013-2014 Irish would achieve so much. If the loss of Skylar Diggins didn’t do the team in, then the move to the high-powered ACC would. But Notre Dame (36-0, 16-0 ACC) plowed through a perfect season and then charged through the NCAA tournament bracket all the way

Jacobsen: Before UConn, ND should fear Terps (April 4)

Vicky Jacobsen | Thursday, April 3, 2014

One of the most disappointing aspects of Notre Dame’s move to the ACC was the end of the conference rivalry between Connecticut and Notre Dame. After years of utter dominance by the Huskies, Irish coach Muffet McGraw and her charges had begun to turn the tide in recent seasons. These women’s basketball powerhouses met four
