NOTRE DAME, Ind. - With finals week in the books, the No. 2 University of Notre Dame women's basketball team (8-1) returns to action at home, hosting Binghamton (5-5) on Sunday, Dec. 16. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET, airing live on ACCN Extra. Sunday's showdown marks the first matchup between the two programs.

At halftime, the Irish will host the inaugural baby race. Crawling babies, age 12 months and under, are eligible to participate. The winner of the baby race will receive a year supply of diapers (valued at $500). To sign up, click the following link: https://bit.ly/2rkRAY3.

In addition, Sunday's game will also play host to Notre Dame's augural food drive, with all canned items benefitting St. Vincent de Paul. That's not all, as the student-athletes will have their first of two autograph sessions in Heritage Hall this season, immediately following the game.

2,000 CAREER POINTS
Senior guard Arike Ogunbowale sits just seven points away from 2,000 for her career. Once she reaches the milestone, she'll become the fifth Irish player to do so, joining Irish greats Skylar Diggins-Smith, Beth (Morgan) Cunningham, Katryna Gaither and Ruth Riley. Ogunbowale's 1,993 career points ranks fifth among all active DI players. Furthermore, Skylar Diggins-Smith holds the top spot in program history with 2,357 career points, just 364 points ahead of Ogunbowale.

Ogunbowale is averaging 24.0 points per game, which ranks sixth in the entire country, while her 216 total points ranks eighth.

DOUBLE DIGIT SCORING STREAKS
A trio of Irish players boast notable double digit scoring streaks, starting with the leading scorer Ogunbowale. The senior is 9-for-9 this season and has gone 30 straight games when dating back to last season (vs Louisville on Jan. 11, 2018). Of those 30 straight games in double figures, 21 have been of 20-plus points.

Jessica Shepard has reached double-digit points in all eight games played this year. If you include the end of last season, that's now 17 straight games in double digits. The final nine games to cap last season was Shepard's best double-digit stretch in an Irish uniform.

Lastly, Jackie Young has tied her career high of eight straight games with double-digit points, which was set last season.

DOUBLE-DOUBLES BY A GUARD
Young has just made an elite list in the lore of Notre Dame guards. After netting her second double-double on the season at Toledo on Dec. 8, Young is up to seven in her career. That number ties Beth (Morgan) Cunningham and Danielle Green for fifth most by a guard. Jewell Loyd sits in fourth at eight, while Lindsay Schrader holds the top spot with 17.

CONSECUTIVE THREES
Dating back to last season, Marina Mabrey has hit a three-pointer in 22 straight games, which just passed Sheila McMillen for second all-time at Notre Dame. Beth (Morgan) Cunningham holds the record with 35.

Great Anthony Anderson piece on Nicole Benz

ND's Benz pulls double duty as student manager/player
By Anthony Anderson Tribune Correspondent 21 hrs ago

SOUTH BEND — Nobody in Notre Dame women’s basketball executes the transition game quite like Nicole Benz.

The sophomore can shift from student manager to practice player in a blink, and unlike Superman, doesn’t even need a phone booth to make the switch.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Marina Mabrey had 21 points and 10 assists, her roommate Arike Ogunbowale had 13 points and 11 rebounds, and No. 2 Notre Dame beat Binghamton 103-53 on Sunday.

Jackie Young also scored 21 points for the Irish (9-1), adding six rebounds and seven assists.

Ogunbowale became the fifth player to move over 2,000 career points under coach Muffet McGraw, who is now within three victories of 900 for her career, including 809 wins in 32 years at Notre Dame.

Jackie Shepard had 18 points on 8-for-8 shooting and Brianna Turner finished with 14 points as the starters watched most of the fourth quarter from the bench. The Irish outscored the Bearcats 34-0 on fast-break points and 52-12 in the paint.

Rebecca Carmody led the Bearcats (5-6) with 12 points and Lizzy Spindler had 10.

Young and Mabrey each scored 15 points in the first half and Shepard had 12 as the Irish, who hit their first 10 shots of the game, led 28-18 after the first quarter and then 56-29 at halftime thanks to a 21-0 run to start the second quarter.

Ogunbowale, who picked up a second personal late in the first quarter, had eight points in the first half on four baskets, the last one at 7:19, putting her over 2,000 points.

They play two in two days on their current trip -- No. 2 Notre Dame, the defending NCAA champion, and No. 19 Marquette.

The Irish had a 20-18 edge on the boards, a 12-5 edge in assists and had just four turnovers to Binghamton's 11. Seven of those Binghamton turnovers resulted from Irish steals.
