Notre Dame’s Dana Mabrey knocked down three from behind the 3-point line to help her put 15 points on the board for the Irish. Her last three-point bucket was her 300th of her career.
Newcomer KK Bransford came off the bench and added 9 points for Notre Dame as the team’s third-best scorer on the day.
Notre Dame went into halftime 5 points clear, but Syracuse struggled to a tie in the third quarter behind a strong display from Dyaisha Fair and Aisa Strong. The Irish, on the other hand, were able to pull away in the 4th quarter and finished with a 16-point victory.
Notre Dame now stands alone in second place in the ACC — a game behind the Duke Blue Devils.
