Notre Dame readies to face Boston College on New Year’s Day

For your early New Year’s viewing.

Notre Dame won’t have much if any time to celebrate on New Year’s Eve. That’s because a game is scheduled for noon EST on New Year’s Day. The Irish will welcome Boston College to Purcell Pavilion. If you’re a fan of players really making noise in the ACC, this is the game for you.

This contest will feature the ACC’s top two assist leaders in the Irish’s [autotag]Olivia Miles[/autotag] (7.8) and Eagles freshman Phenom Taina Mair (7.5), who also is the conference’s minutes leader (37.1). The Irish also will have to deal with Dontavia Waggoner, who leads the conference in steals. You better believe [autotag]Niele Ivey[/autotag] will have her team ready for both players.

Since losing a heartbreaker at the buzzer to Maryland, the Irish have won five straight. They will look to continue that streak as ACC play began in earnest with Thursday’s win at Miami. If you want to see if they can, come out to Purcell Pavilion like we will be doing. Otherwise, you can watch on the ACC Network.
