2005-06 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL 169 NCAA Tournament History Purdue 66 • Notre Dame 47 (Regional Semifinal) March 30, 2003 University of Dayton Arena (Dayton, Ohio)

For the fourth time in eight seasons, Notre Dame and Purdue squared off in the NCAA Tournament when they met up in the 2003 East Regional semifinals. The Irish had taken two of the previous three encounters, including a memorable two-point win in the 2001 national championship game. The fourth matchup pro- vided much of the same intensity that the first three games had featured, but in the end, Purdue found the winning combination, ending Notre Dame’s season, 66-47 at the University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio. Seeking to become the lowest seed ever to reach the Elite Eight, the Irish came out cold offensively, misfiring on five of their first six shots from the floor. An early 12-3 Purdue run gave the Boilermakers their largest lead of the first half just over seven minutes into the contest. Still, Notre Dame doggedly pursued their in-state rival throughout the opening period and eventually pulled even at 27-27 on a jumper by senior guard Alicia Ratay with a minute to go in the half. A pair of Boilermaker three-pointers, sandwiched around two Ratay free throws, took some steam out of the Irish comeback and gave Purdue a 33-29 edge at half- time. Notre Dame had made its name in the 2003 NCAA Tournament on a strong defense, but it was the Boilers who came up with the timely stops early in the second half. Just as in the first half, the Irish struggled to find their shooting eye early in the second frame, going 2-for-10 from the field and turning the ball over four times in that stretch. When the smoke cleared, Purdue had a seemingly com- fortable 55-33 lead with 12:36 remaining. Boxed into a corner, the Irish came fighting back behind their trademark defense, which turned around and held the Boilermakers scoreless over the next 7:15. Meanwhile, the Notre Dame offense managed to slice the Purdue lead to 12 3-pt points twice, the second coming on a layup by sophomore forward Jacqueline Notre Dame FG-A FG-A FT-A REB PF TP A TO B ST MP Batteast at the 4:30 mark.

Meanwhile, the Missouri Valley Conference champion Lady Bears appeared shell-shocked by their surroundings, misfir- ing on seven of their first nine shots. The Irish took advantage of the visitors’ struggles and pumped their margin up to 29-13 at the 9:10 mark of the first half on a jumper in the lane by Batteast. During the ensuing media timeout, SMS coach Katie Abrahamson- Henderson challenged her team to fight through their nerves and her charges responded. The Lady Bears went on a 14-4 run to close out the first half and cut their deficit to a more manageable 33-27 score. The combination of Lingor and Koch accounted for eight points in the rally. SMS stayed within striking dis- tance early in the second half, keeping it at a one or two possession game for the first 10 minutes. The Lady Bears then erupted again, putting together an 11- 4 charge that ended with the upstarts holding a 52-50 lead after K.C. Cowgill’s layup with 6:36 to play. After seeing its big lead evaporate completely, Notre Dame wasn’t about to pack up and head for the hills. Severe took her captain’s title to heart and ripped off five of the next seven Irish points, including two free throws after a controversial technical foul on Abrahamson-Henderson, and Notre Dame was back in front, 57-55 with 3:21 left. SMS guard Morgan Hohenberger, who had been fairly quiet to that point, answered with a pair of clutch baskets, the sec- ond coming with her team down by two and 26 seconds remaining. Both sides had a chance to win in the closing seconds, but could not convert. The overtime period largely belonged to Notre Dame, as the Irish scored the first five points of the bonus stanza. Senior guard Monique Hernandez put Notre Dame ahead for good on a jumper with two minutes gone in the frame. Severe then followed with two crippling drives and assists to LaVere for easy baskets, putting the Irish on top 65-59 with 39 seconds to go. SMS finally got going as Lingor buried a three-pointer six seconds later, but Duffy and Severe each made two free throws in the waning moments as Notre Dame clinched its 11th consecutive 20-win season.

Courtney LaVere scored two crucial baskets in overtime to help Notre Dame edge past Southwest Missouri State in the first round of the 2004 NCAA Tournament.
