NotreDamehasledatthebreakin14ofits17gamesthisseason(oneotherwastied),andhasgoneontoearnvictorieseachtime.

The Best Offense Is A Good Defense…During the past 15 seasons, Notre Damehas discovered that a solid defensive effortcan almost certainly guarantee a victory. Infact,sincethebeginningof the1995-96sea-son (Notre Dame’s first in the BIG EASTConference),theIrishhaveanamazing203-14(.935) recordwhen theyhold theiropponentsbelow60pointsinagame. Notre Dame has added eight more winsto the ledger this season with victories overArkansas-Pine Bluff, Iona, South Carolina,

EasternMichigan, Valparaiso,Charlotte,UCFandVillanova.

…But Sometimes You Have To Score If You Want To WinNot resting solely on its defensive laurels,Notre Dame also seemingly has found themagicmark when it comes to outscoring itsopponents.Duringthepast15seasons(since1995-96), the Irish are 133-4 (.971) whenthey score at least 80points in a game. Theonly blemishes on that record are a pair ofovertime losses to Texas A&M (88-84) andMichiganState(87-83)in1995,a106-81losstoConnecticut in1998,andan81-80 loss toDePaulin2008. Notre Dame already has added 10 morewins to this ongoing record with its con-questsofArkansas-PineBluff,Iona,No.23/24SanDiegoState,No.20/17Oklahoma,IPFW,Valparaiso, Charlotte, Villanova and SouthFlorida.

Now That’s A Home Court AdvantageOneofthehallmarksofNotreDame’ssuccesshasbeen itsstellarplayathome. In fact, theIrishhavebeenvirtuallyuntouchableathomein recent years,winning182of their last 206games(.883)atthe9,149-seatPurcellPavilion,includingwinningstreaksof51and25gamesin that span. Notre Dame also has a 101-17(.856)recordinBIGEASTConferenceplayatthe formerJoyceCenter,sportinga31-gameleaguewinningstreakathomebeforeitendedwitha48-45losstoVillanovainthe’02homefinale. The Irish have been particularly strongwhen it comes to non-conference games athome, winning 83 of their last 90 non-BIGEASTcontests(.922)atPurcellPavilion,datingbacktothe1994-95season.Fiveofthesevenlosses in thatspancameat thehandsofBigTenConferenceopponents (fourby12pointsor less)—Wisconsin in1996(81-69),Purduein2003(71-54),MichiganStatein2004(82-73OT), Indiana in 2006 (54-51) and Minnesotain2009 (79-71)—with theother twodefeatscoming to Tennessee in 2005 (62-51) and2008(87-63).ThePurduelossalsosnappeda33-gamenon-conferencehomewinningstreakwhichbeganaftertheUWsetback.

Head Coach Muffet McGraw23rd season at ND (512-198, .721) • 28th season overall (600-239, .715)

“Ifwesearchedforanentireyear,Idon’tthinkwewouldfindanyone better suited for our program.”

With those words, former Notre Dame athletics director Gene Corrigan announced the hiring of Muffet McGraw as the third head coach of the Irish women’s basketball program on May 18, 1987. Corrigan may not have realized it at the time, but he also ushered in an era of unparalleled success in women’s basketball at Notre Dame, brought to life on the shoulders of a 5-foot-6 dy-namo who accepts nothing less than the very best from herself, her players and her program. Ask anyone familiar with women’s basketball about McGraw and her Notre Dame program and inevitably, you’ll hear the same two words — consistency and excellence. And it’s no wonder, when you consider what McGraw and the Irish have achieved in the past 22-plus years:

• The2001NCAAChampionship,defeatingPurdueinthetitlegame, 68-66. McGraw is one of only eight active Division I coaches to guide her team to a national title.

• TwotripstotheNCAAFinalFour(1997and2001).McGrawis one of just 14 active Division I coaches to lead her team to multipleFinalFourappearances.

• SevenNCAASweet16trips,allinthepast13seasons(1997-2009).TheIrishareoneofonly11programsinthenationthatcan make that claim.

• 19seasonswith20-or-morevictories,including15inthepast16years(1993-2009).NotreDamealsohaspostedsix25-winseasonsandtwo30-wincampaignsinthepast12years(1997-2008).

• 16NCAATournamentappearances,includingacurrentstringof14consecutiveNCAATournamentberths.Duringthepres-ent14-yearstreak(1996-2009),NotreDamehaswonatleastone NCAA postseason game 12 times.

• 64winsoverrankedopponents,including54inthepast11-plusseasonsalone(1998-2010).Inaddition,20ofthosewinshavecomeagainsttop-10opponents.

• 189appearancesintheAssociatedPressTop25poll,puttingMcGraw13thamongactiveDivisionIcoachesand22ndall-timeonthatlist(throughJan.18,2009).NotreDamealsohasspent87weeksrankedamongthetop10teamsinthenation,allinthepast12-plusseasons(1997-2010).

• 11 top-four finishes in the BIGEASTConference duringNotreDame’sfirst14yearsinthatleague(1995-96through2008-09).TheIrishalsowonashareofthe2001BIGEASTregular-season title.

• 14consecutivetop-20recruitingclasses,datingtotheincomingclass of 1997. Notre Dame is one of just three programs in the nation that owns an active streak of that length.

• Oneofonlyfourcoachesinthe123-yearhistoryofFightingIrishathleticstowin500gamesatNotreDame,joiningfenc-ing’s Michael DeCicco and Yves Auriol, and baseball’s Jake Kline.

• Thewinningestbasketballcoach(men’sorwomen’s)inschoolhistory, with noted men’s skipper Richard “Digger” Phelps secondonthatlist(393wins).

• Aperfect100-percentgraduationrateforallplayersenteringthe program since 1987 who have completed their athletic and academiceligibilityatNotreDame(aspotless58-for-58suc-cess rate, including current senior center Erica Williamson, whoofficiallyearnedherdiplomaafullsemesterearlyonJan.3,2010).

McGrawalsoranksamongthetop20activeNCAADivisionIcoacheswith600careerwins(reachingthatmilestoneonJan.19,2010,atLouisvilleinher839thgame,tyingfor10th-fastestinDivisionIhistory)anda.715all-timewinningpercentage. Still,withallofthoseaccomplishmentsinhand,McGrawhasshownnosignsofslowingdownanytimesoon.InJuly2008,theveteran head coach signed a contract extension that will keep her patrollingtheIrishsidelinesthroughthe2014-15campaign. “Formore than20 years,Muffet has ledour programwithintegrity and passion, and, of course, to much success,” said Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame’s president. “As we lookforwardtomanymoreyearstogether,Iamconfidentthattheexcellence she has achieved on and off the court will continue.”

UnderMcGraw’sguidance,thepast14-plusseasons(1995-96to2009-10)havebeenthemostsuccessfulinNotreDame’shistory.The Irish have compiledan impressive353-118 (.749)record,includingasparkling179-57(.758)regular-seasonmarkinBIGEASTplay,thesecond-bestwinningpercentageinleaguehistory. Notre Dame also has averaged better than 24 victories peryearduringthatspan,withtwo30-winseasonsandsix25-wincampaigns to its credit. SuccessforMcGrawalsohasmeantcoachinggreatplayers.During her illustrious career, the Notre Dame skipper has coached nineAll-Americans,including2001consensusNationalPlayerofthe Year Ruth Riley.ShealsohasworkedwithfiveplayerswhohavebeenselectedforUSABasketballNationalTeams,withthoseplayersgoingontowinatotalofninemedals(highlightedbyRiley’sgoldwiththe’04U.S.OlympicTeam).Inaddition,McGrawhascoached 21 players who have earned all-conference recognition atotalof45times,including15first-teampickswhohavebeenchosen a total of 26 times, and has helped shape several other nationalawardwinners,namelytwoFrancesPomeroyNaismithawardrecipients(Niele Iveyin2001,Megan Duffyin2006)and2002UnitedStatesBasketballWritersAssociation (USBWA)NationalFreshmanoftheYearJacqueline Batteast. Another sign of McGraw’s success has been her ability to prepare her players for the next level. No less than 18 Notre Damecagershavegoneontoplayprofessionally(domesticallyoroverseas),includingninewhoeitherhavebeendraftedorsignedasfreeagentswithWNBAteams.ThepastnineyearshaveseenthegreatestinfluxofIrishtalentintotheWNBA,withsevenNotreDame players having been selected in the league’s annual draft since2001.Fourofthoseplayers—Riley,Ivey,Kelley Siemon and Ericka Haney—werestartersonthe’01IrishNCAAcham-pionshipteam,andfiveoftherecentIrishWNBAdraftees(Riley,Ivey,Batteast,DuffyandCharel Allen)earnedAll-Americastatusduring their careers at Notre Dame. Dedicated to help grow and further the sport in any way pos-sible, McGraw has helped groom 12 of her former players and/or assistant coaches who currently are serving as coaches at either thehighschoolorcollegelevel.Ofthosedozenproteges,sevenpresently are Division I head coaches — 1988 Notre Dame gradu-ate Sandy Botham (Wisconsin-Milwaukee),1997NotreDamegraduate and the school’s all-time leading scorer Beth (Morgan) Cunningham (VirginiaCommonwealth),Bill Fennelly (IowaState),Kevin McGuff(Xavier),Carol Owens(NorthernIllinois),1991 Notre Dame graduate Coquese Washington(PennState)and most recently, 1994 Notre Dame graduate Kristin (Knapp) Cole (NewHampshire).McGuff,OwensandWashingtoncom-prisedMcGraw’sassistantcoachingstaffonthe2001IrishNCAAnationalchampionshipsquad,whileMcGuffandOwensalsowereonstaffforNotreDame’sruntothe1997NCAAFinalFour.
