- On Friday, Notre Dame defeated Vanderbilt 67-64 in the Sweet 16, advancing to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2019. Notre Dame guard Hannah Hidalgo led the Fighting Irish with 31 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 steals.
- The contest featured two of Division I's top three scorers, Hidalgo and Vanderbilt guard Mikayla Blakes, who were former New Jersey high school rivals and previously competed together for the United States last summer.
