CHANGES ON THE SIDELINE Preseason All-BIG EAST Team^ There are three changes to the Notre Dame staff for the 2005-06 season. Coquese Washington, Matee Ajavon, Rutgers, So., G who is entering her seventh season on the Irish bench, has been promoted to associate head coach. Meg Bulger, West Virginia, Jr., G Washington, who also played for head coach Muffet McGraw from 1989-93, has been part of the Jazz Covington, Louisville, Jr., C Notre Dame women’s basketball program for 10 of the first 18 years of the McGraw era. Jessica Dickson, South Florida, Jr., F Angie Potthoff has been hired as an assistant coach, replacing longtime aide Carol Owens, Megan Duffy, Notre Dame, Sr., G who resigned in March to become head coach at her alma mater, Northern Illinois. Potthoff, a 1997 Cappie Pondexter, Rutgers, Sr., G graduate of Penn State where she was a two-time All-American and three-time first-team all-Big Khara Smith, DePaul, Sr., F Ten selection, will focus her efforts primarily on working with the Irish posts. *Ann Strother, Connecticut, Sr., G Stephanie Menio (pronounced MANY-o) is Notre Dame’s new coordinator of basketball opera- Liad Suez, Villanova, Sr., F tions, assuming the marketing and promotional responsibilities for the program. She replaces Heather Barbara Turner, Connecticut, Sr., F/G Maxwell, who departed in August to pursue doctoral studies at the University of Minnesota. Marcedes Walker, Pittsburgh, So., F Kia Wright, St. John’s, So., G LATE ADDITIONS * - unanimous selection ^ - due to ties in voting, 12 players are on team Notre Dame has added two walk-on players to its roster for the 2005-06 season, with both joining the squad through preseason tryouts after the media guide went to press. Brittney Bolden (5-7, Fr., G, South Bend, Ind./Adams HS) averaged 13.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game last season while helping Adams to one of its best seasons of late in the Northern Indiana Conference (NIC). She is the fourth South Bend native ever to play for the Irish, with the most recent being former South Bend Washington High School standout Jacqueline Batteast (2001-05). Ironically, Bolden graduated from John Adams High School, making Adams the fourth different South Bend school to send a player to Notre Dame — the others are St. Joseph’s (Molly Mahoney in 1986-87) and Clay (Mary Borkowski, 1983-84).

2005-06 FIGHTING IRISH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NOVEMBER 10, 2005 NOTRE DAME VS. FERRIS STATE

Bolden was a three-sport letterwinner at Adams, participating in basketball, soccer and track & field. She was a two-time all-Northern Indiana Conference selection in basketball and a two- Page 6 time first-team all-conference pick in soccer, as well as a four-time state finalist on the track as a sprinter. In addition, she was an excellent student, graduating with a 3.7 grade-point average and academic honors. She comes from a family with a rich athletic heritage — two of her cousins are Shannon Bolden (currently a senior guard/forward at Minnesota) and Stephanie Bolden (a former 2005-06 IRISH HONORS standout at South Dakota State, where she helped the Jackrabbits to the NCAA Division II title in 2002-03). Megan Duffy (Sr., G, Dayton, Ohio) State Farm/WBCA Wade Trophy Watch List Christine Trezza (6-0, Fr., F, Staten Island, N.Y./Notre Dame Academy HS) averaged 10.4 points Preseason All-American: and 12.0 rebounds per game during her high school career, earning second-team all-borough • John R. Wooden Women’s Award (top 30) honors from the New York Daily News and all-conference laurels as a senior. Last year, she helped • first team (WBB News Service) Notre Dame Academy to a regional title (had career highs of 25 points and 15 rebounds in one • “Terrific 10” (Street & Smith’s) playoff game) and averaged 14.8 points and 13.0 rebounds per game along the way. Also, she was • third team (Lindy’s Annual) a three-time captain of the nationally-ranked Staten Island Rebels AAU squad that finished second Top five point guards in nation (ESPN.com) at the USA Junior Nationals in 2003. Like Bolden, Trezza was a multi-sport athlete in high school, Preseason all-BIG EAST garnering four letters in volleyball and one in cross country. Trezza was a member of the National Honor Society, in addition to serving as student government president, class valedictorian and captain of the math team. She is from the same borough as Irish men’s basketball freshman Kyle McAlarney (Moore Catholic HS) and joins Notre Dame sophomore center Melissa D’Amico (Manorville, N.Y./William Floyd HS) as the two players from New York on this year’s Irish roster.

HALF AND HALF During the past five seasons, Notre Dame has been nearly unbeatable when it has the lead at halftime. The Irish are 97-8 (.924) since the start of the 2000-01 campaign when they go into the dressing room with the lead, including a 20-1 mark last year (only loss: 70-61 to Arizona State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament).

THE BEST OFFENSE IS A GOOD DEFENSE ... During the past decade, Notre Dame has discovered that a solid defensive effort can almost certainly guarantee a victory. In fact, since the beginning of the 1995-96 season (Notre Dame’s first in the BIG EAST Conference), the Irish have an amazing 150-9 (.943) record when they hold their opponents to less than 60 points in a game. Notre Dame added 21 more wins to that ledger last season.

... BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SCORE IF YOU WANT TO WIN TOP JOYCE CENTER Not resting solely on its defensive laurels, Notre Dame also seemingly has found the magic mark CROWDS when it comes to outscoring its opponents. During the past decade (1995-96 to present), the Irish are 91-3 (.968) when they score at least 80 points in a game. The only blemishes on that record are Rk.

31-game league winning streak at home before it was snapped with a 48-45 loss to Villanova in the 2002 home finale. The Irish have been particularly strong when it comes to non-conference games at home, winning Page 7 54 of their last 57 non-BIG EAST contests (.947) at the Joyce Center, dating back to the 1994-95 season. The only three losses in that span all came at the hands of Big Ten Conference opponents — Wisconsin in 1996 (81-69), Purdue in 2003 (71-54) and Michigan State in 2004 (82-73 OT).
