What to know about Notre Dame
• The Fighting Irish are off to a flawless start record-wise and just beat then-No. 3 USC in Los Angeles last week, 74-61. They’ve gotten the job done with a limited roster, too, dressing just eight players against the Trojans and putting seven on the floor.
• Graduate senior forwards Maddy Westbeld and Liza Karlen have yet to make their season-debuts dealing with lower-body injuries, but the first action of the former’s last season in South Bend seems imminent. Blue & Gold would not be surprised to see Westbeld on the floor for the first time this season in the Cayman Islands.
• Guards Hannah Hidalgo and Olivia Miles are leading the way for the Irish. Miles was the first ACC Player of the Week of the season, and Hidalgo has won the last two honors for that award. Hidalgo is averaging 24.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.2 steals and 3.6 assists per game. Miles is at 18.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Former Oregon forward Sedona Prince leads the charge with 20.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.8 blocked shots per game. She fills up the stat sheet and will be a lot for Koval and King to handle.
