Notre Dame’s women’s basketball team will have to wait a little longer to return to the court. After over a week without game action, the Irish would have ended their layoff with a Presidents’ Day trip to NC State. Instead, positive tests for COVID-19 within the program, along with the quarantining and contact tracing that come with it, have forced that game to be postponed. The ACC also announced that the Valentine’s Day meeting between Louisville and Syracuse was postponed after the Cardinals had a positive test in their program.
Notre Dame (8-8, 6-6) slipped back to .500 with a three-game losing streak that followed a three-game winning streak. Its next game is scheduled for Thursday at Purcell Pavilion against Syracuse. Whether or not that contest will be played remains to be seen. If it’s not, the Irish have games at Pittsburgh on Feb. 22 and against Florida State on Feb. 25, and there’s no telling which of those games would be played would be the Irish’s next contest either.
