The Fighting Irish women’s basketball team improved to 6-1 on the year after rallying in Konxville.
Notre Dame fought hard to get back in the game as KK Ransford finally gave the Irish the lead via a free throw with just 47 seconds to play. From there it turned into a free throw fest for Notre Dame as they eventually won by the final four-point margin.
Maddy Westbeld and Natalija Marshall led Notre Dame in scoring, putting up 15 points each in the victory.
The win is Notre Dame’s sixth-straight (6-1) after dropping the season opener to South Carolina. Tennessee falls to just 4-3.
