Notre Dame wallops Georgia Tech on senior night
Senior night for Notre Dame began with honoring Lauren Ebo and the injured dara mabrey. Once the game tipped off though, the script started to flip. Georgia Tech scored eight unanswered points out of the gate, prompting Niele Ivey to take an early timeout. Fortunately, things more or less corrected themselves from there, and the Irish won, 76-53.
The Irish (23-4, 14-3) had trouble holding off the Yellow Jackets (13-15, 4-13) for a bit, only taking a six-point lead into halftime. That changed in the third quarter as the Irish opened it with a 14-4 run. The Yellow Jackets never seriously threatened after that, only getting as close as 14 early in the fourth quarter. In short, it was a typical Irish victory for the final regular-season game at Purcell Pavilion this season.
