Where Notre Dame women’s basketball ranks in Week 11 AP Poll
Notre Dame flushed a 60-50 road loss to North Carolina on Jan. 8 in emphatic fashion. In the two games since then, the Fighting Irish beat Wake Forest 86-47 at Purcell Pavilion on Jan. 12 and Syracuse 72-56 at the JMA Dome in New York on Jan. 15.
Those wins were good enough to leave head coach Niele Ivey‘s team at No. 7 in the most recent Associated Press Top 25. The Irish are 14-2 overall and 5-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. They’re the highest-ranked ACC team and already own a victory over the second-best team in that regard, No. 12 Virginia Tech (14-3, 4-3).
