Women’s basketball player [autotag]Olivia Miles[/autotag] has taken home ACC Player of the Week honors for the No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
The senior guard gets the honors for the third time — her first since December 2022.
She earned it with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Mercyhurst in her first game back after recovering from a torn ACL. That’s her fourth career triple-double and it came in a 105-61 win.
Miles then had 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, an assist and a block against Purdue as Notre Dame beat the Boilermakers 102-58.
Miles was also 7-for-15 from the floor for the Fighting Irish against the Boilermakers, including a 55-foot shot to end the third quarter.
Right now, Miles is the only ACC player to be in the conference’s top 10 for points, rebounds and assists. She’s leading the NCAA with 6.8 assists per game.
Miles has performed another feat — she’s the first NBA, WNBA, men’s or women’s college basketball player to have a 20-point triple-double in their first game back after missing a season due to injury in the last 25 years.
Notre Dame’s next game is at home against James Madison (3-0).
