No. 5 Irish Advance to ACC Semis with 83-47 Win over Virginia
Marina Mabrey knocks down a career high five three-pointers in 24-point effort
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The No. 5 University of Notre Dame women's basketball team remained undefeated in ACC Tournament play, now 13-0, after rolling to an 83-47 victory over Virginia in Friday's quarterfinal round. The No. 2 seeded Irish (28-2) were powered by a 24-point night from junior guard Marina Mabrey, who knocked down a career high five three-pointers to eliminate the No. 7 seeded Cavaliers (18-13).
"I was really pleased with the win and I thought we did a lot of really good things," Karen & Kevin Keyes Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw said. "I thought defensively, especially, they had a barrage of threes early and only made one in the second half, so I think our defense definitely tightened up.
"Offensively, Marina (Mabrey) had a great game and shot the ball really well. I thought the bench really helped us tonight and that's what we needed them to do, so good game all around."
How It Happened
The first quarter witnessed an exchange of runs. The Irish struck first, tallying a 9-0 run thanks to seven straight points from Arike Ogunbowale in the first two minutes. Virginia countered with an 8-0 run only for the Irish to respond with yet another 9-0 stretch that was capped by back-to-back buckets from Jessica Shepard. Marina Mabrey then tacked on a three-pointer at the buzzer, handing the Irish a 21-12 lead.
In the second, Notre Dame held the Cavaliers without a field goal from 5:49 to 1:30, resulting in an 8-0 Irish run. Virginia could only hit one of its last nine field goals of the half while the Irish sunk four in a row to head into the locker room up 40-27. Ogunbowale led with 13 points at the break, while Mabrey followed right behind with 10.
Mabrey then started the second half on fire, recording an individual 7-0 run for the Irish before a three-pointer at the 6:01 mark gave her 11 points in under a four-minute span in the quarter. Notre Dame ultimately started the period on a 15-4 spurt and outscored the Cavaliers 26-11 in the third, all capped by an Ogunbowale three-point dagger in the final seconds, giving the Irish a 66-38 advantage.
The Irish went on to outscore Virginia, 17-9, in the fourth to settle on the 83-47 final. Four Irish finished in double figures as Ogunbowale (16 pts), Young (13 pts) and Shepard (10 pts) all joined Mabrey. Meanwhile, Kristina Nelson led the squad in rebounding with a career-high tying nine boards.
Player of the Game
Mabrey finished with a stat line of 24 points, five rebounds, seven assists and two steals. Both the point and assist total were one off her season highs. In addition, her 5-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc marked a career best.
Stat of the Game
By holding Virginia to 47 points, Notre Dame's defense recorded its best outing in an ACC Tournament game in 13 appearances.
Notes
Notre Dame now leads the all-time series vs Virginia, 7-2, and have won seven straight against the Cavaliers.
The Irish have now eliminated Virginia in the quarterfinal round in the ACC Tournament in back-to-back years.
The Irish remain perfect in ACC Tournament play, extending their record to 13-0. Duke holds the record at 17 straight. When dating back to the final year in the Big East, the Irish have won 16 consecutive conference tournament games. Overall, Notre Dame is now 49-19 in conference tournaments.
Notre Dame's defense recorded its best outing in an ACC Tournament game, limiting Virginia to 47 total points.
Virginia has only allowed opponents to shoot over 50 percent from the field on two occasions and both those times were to the Irish. Notre Dame shot 53.3 percent this evening.
Mabrey notched her eighth game with 20-plus points tonight, finishing one shy of her season high with 24 points. Her performance also extended her double-digit scoring streak to five games, which marked a season high.
Nelson tied her career high of nine rebounds, previously achieved vs. Central Michigan on Nov. 11, 2016.
Ogunbowale tallied her 29th game with double-digit points with 16 points on 5-of-14 shooting.

MUFFET McGRAW: I was really pleased with the win. I thought we did a lot of really good things. I thought defensively, especially, they had a barrage of threes early and only made one in the second half, so I think our defense definitely tightened up. Offensively, Marina had just a great game, shot the ball really well. And I thought the bench really helped us tonight and that's what we need them to do tonight. Good game all around.
Q. How much carryover is there from year-to-year when you've won ACC Tournaments like you have? It's a different group and everything, but is there a carryover effect?
MUFFET McGRAW: I think there is. I think we understand what it's like to play in a tournament atmosphere. I think we understand the focus that's involved, the intensity that's involved on every possession. I thought we came out really ready tonight and I was really pleased with the veterans, the way they came out.
Q. You look like you were comfortable with your shot right off tonight, just what worked for you offensively?
MARINA MABREY: I think my teammates were finding me and we were getting inside out threes and also the dribble penetration and kick out was working for me, also.
Q. The experience, it's a different group but you come back with success that sort of builds within your program here. What does it mean as players in the tournament?
ARIKE OGUNBOWALE: It's just the atmosphere of our team, the chemistry we have, and we play well together. So I think we go out there and do what we have to do.
MARINA MABREY: Just going off what Arike said, same thing. Just taking it one game at a time, is really important for us.
Q. Did you feel you did certain things better today than you had when you played UVA the first time back
MUFFET McGRAW: You know, I don't think we scored as much in transition today. I was a little disappointed in our execution in the transition. I thought we missed some easy layups and we had a couple turnovers that we really I thought were a little careless with the ball. 16 turnovers, that's way too many for us. I thought defensively, we guarded the three a little bit better in the second half.
But overall, I thought it was a pretty similar game. I thought we did a little better job on Fefe. I think she's really improved. She's a tremendous player and I thought we -- she was the difference in our game last time and I thought we held her in check this time.
Q. I think you've won 13 straight now since the Louisville game. Do you like how this how the team is playing at this crucial, pivotal point of the year?
MARINA MABREY: Yeah, I think that we're developing a lot of chemistry, and playing well together and playing really hard. We need to execute a little bit better and watch our turnovers, but yeah.
ARIKE OGUNBOWALE: I think we're playing well together at the right time for postseason, so hopefully we keep that rolling.
Q. With the way the team is now, what's kind of the ceiling for this team? What's your feeling about the potential for this team right now?
MUFFET McGRAW: I don't think we've seen it yet. I think we still have a game in us, maybe more than one, where everybody plays well on the same night, and that will be really fun to watch.
I think we've had moments of brilliance throughout the year. We've had halves, we've had quarters but I don't think we've had 40 minutes yet. So I'm looking forward to that game.
Q. You had a pretty easy win tonight, so what can you build on that you might need to work on?
MUFFET McGRAW: I don't think it's ever easy. We worked really hard and did a lot of good inks this, but I think for us to be able to get the bench in I thought was really good for us today, to be able to play them, get them some experience in the tournament. First time for all of them, I think four of the last five that we were in, first time in the ACC Tournament. So it was important that we were able to get a little bit of rest for the starters.
Q. Obviously you were in control of this game throughout. What did you like about how you clicked on defense and also on offense?
ARIKE OGUNBOWALE: I think once we got stops, we were able to run in transition. At first we weren't really running in transition, the game was close, and we were one of the best transition games in the country, and when we do that it's hard for teams to play with us.
MARINA MABREY: I thought we were pretty active in the zone. Getting our hands on some passes, deflections, and yeah, same thing, leading to our transition offense, knocking down shots.
MIKE FINN: Thanks, Coach.
