Oregon State lead most of the way, but #2 Notre Dame turned on the jets in the second half to pull out the 70-58 win. Irish coach Muffet McGraw gave credit where credit was due:
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) - Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw didn't think her unbeaten team had been tested until facing Oregon State on Sunday.
Kayla McBride scored 20 points, Natalie Achonwa added 16 points and nine rebounds, and the second-ranked Irish remained perfect with a 70-58 victory over the Beavers.
"It's a huge win for us," McGraw said. "It's great to be behind and have a close game at the end and see how we respond."
