CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Sonia Citron scored 19 points, Hannah Hidalgo added 18 and No. 1 Notre Dame rolled past Miami 82-42 on Thursday night.
Olivia Miles scored 14 and Liatu King finished with 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Fighting Irish (24-2, 15-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).
Cameron Williams scored 12 points and had 10 rebounds for Miami (13-13, 3-12). The Hurricanes were 0 for 16 from 3-point range and shot 27% overall.
The Irish extended the nation's second-longest active winning streak to 19 games. Grand Canyon has won 22 straight.
THE TAKEAWAY
Notre Dame: The Irish, who entered the game 15th nationally in field goal percentage defense this season, forced Miami into a 3-for-24 start from the field. The Hurricanes missed their first nine shots, then made three in a row, and then missed their next 12 shots.
Miami: Natalija Marshall — who averaged 4.1 points for the Irish in the last three seasons before transferring to Miami — faced her former team for the first time. She shared a lot of pregame hugs with old friends, then finished with five points and six rebounds.
KEY MOMENT
It was over early. The Irish jumped out to a 10-0 lead, Miami answered with a 6-0 run, and Notre Dame answered that with a 13-0 burst. Add it up, and it was 23-6 early in the second quarter.
KEY STAT
Notre Dame is now 47-0 in the Niele Ivey coaching era when holding opponents to 56 points or less.
