The eighth-ranked (and No. 3 seeded) Wildcats were considered by many to be a darkhorse contender to reach the Final Four, but by the time night fell on Manhattan, it was Notre Dame’s postseason dreams that remained in sharp focus. Junior guard Le’Tania Severe rang up a team-high 17 points, pacing four Irish players in double figures as Notre Dame shocked a partisan Bramlage Coliseum crowd of more than 11,000 fans with a 59-53 victory over Kansas State, snapping the nation’s second-longest home winning streak at 22 games. With the win, the Irish punched their ticket to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen for the fifth time in seven seasons, a feat only seven other schools in the country can match. Much of the pre-game talk centered around the Wildcats’ explosive offense which had averaged more than 75 points per game during the regular season. Meanwhile, Notre Dame had built its fortunes around a sturdy defense that was yielding less than 62 points per contest. Early on, the Irish were getting the bet- ter of this matchup, jumping out to a 14-4 lead behind seven early points by Severe. K-State battled back and used a 14-3 run late in the first half to take a 31- 28 lead to the locker room. Little did the Wildcat faithful know that their team would never hold such a edge for the rest of the night. Calling upon its history of strong second-half defensive performances in the NCAA Tournament, Notre Dame spun another masterpiece against Kansas State. The Irish threw a blanket over the Wildcats and held the hosts without a field goal for the first 11:03 of the season half. Actually, the drought stretched a total of 12 minutes and 43 seconds, dating back to the closing moments of the first half. In that time, K-State missed 12 consecutive shots from the floor, had seven turnovers and did not even manage an offensive rebound until the final seven seconds of the run. Megan Duffy scored 10 points and canned all four of her However, for all the defensive success the Irish had, they could not put the Wildcats away, opening up just a 40-32 lead midway through the period.

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME 184 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 Koehn slowly helped bring the Wildcats back one final time, hitting another 7:15. Meanwhile, the Notre Dame offense managed to slice the Purdue lead to 12 three-pointer (her seventh of the game) and two free throws for a 51-49 Irish lead points twice, the second coming on a layup by sophomore forward Jacqueline with 1:13 left. K-State then began fouling Notre Dame and forcing the visitors to Batteast at the 4:30 mark. It would be as close as the Irish would come, thanks to win the game at the free throw line.
