With less than three minutes remaining in the third quarter on Thursday night, Notre Dame's Dara Mabrey fed Maya Dodson for a layup that extended the Fighting Irish's lead to 14 points. They led, 55-41, and at that moment, ESPN's win probability extended to 95.6%. Boston College had been scoreless for over three minutes, and Bernabei-McNamee needed a timeout to settle her team.
Cameron Swartz immediately hit a three-pointer, and from that point onward, the Eagles hit the gas pedal. They outscored the Irish, 32-16, over the final 12:53 and shocked the No. 17-ranked team in the nation with a 73-71 win.
