SYRACUSE, N.Y. – A record crowd is expected when the 18th-ranked Syracuse Orange women's basketball team hosts defending national champion Notre Dame at 6 p.m. in the Carrier Dome on February 25th in a game that will be televised on ESPN2's Big Monday. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to avoid traffic congestion and lines at the Dome in anticipation of the record crowd. Gates will open at 4:30 p.m. and parking lots open at 3:30 p.m.
Syracuse (20-6, 8-4 ACC) is 10-2 at home this season and is coming off a 90-63 win over Pittsburgh. It marked the seventh time this season that the Orange scored 90 points or more. Tiana Mangakahia, the team leader in points (15.2) and assists (8.4) per game, had her sixth double-double of the season with 10 points and 12 assists. Freshman Emily Engstler led 'Cuse in scoring with 17 points and posted her most impressive stat line of the season adding six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals in 18 minutes.
Arike Ogunbowale paces the Fighting Irish (25-3, 12-2) with 21.2 points per game, while Jessica Shepard has a team-best 9.8 rebounds per game. Notre Dame is the ninth nationally ranked opponent for the Orange this season.
Syracuse is in pursuit of its first win against the Fighting Irish during the Quentin Hillsman era. Notre Dame leads the all-time series 32-2. Syracuse's lone win over ND at home was in 1988 when 'Cuse won 63-56 in Manley Fieldhouse. Last time the Orange beat Notre Dame was in the 2002 BIG EAST Tournament when the Orange won 84-79 in the semifinals. Syracuse went on to make its second NCAA Tournament appearance in program history that year.
Prior to the game fans are invited to enjoy activities in the Carrier Dome backcourt, including Inflatable – interactive basketball shooting, a selfie station with Otto, and a balloon artist. Merchandise and food/beverage stands will be open. Entertainment will feature the Max Eyle Trio. T-shirts will be given out to the first 1,000 fans at the gates. At halftime, fans will be treated to a performance of 'Tyler's Amazing Balancing Act.'
