Watch the Game Highlights from Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. James Madison Dukes
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- — Hannah Hidalgo scored 24 points and Kate Koval finished with 14 points, 16 rebounds and six blocks as No. 6 Notre Dame beat James Madison 92-46 on Wednesday night.
Hidalgo also had six rebounds and four steals for Notre Dame (3-0). The sophomore point guard's tenacious defense triggered a 25-2 advantage for the Fighting Irish in fastbreak points.
Koval, a 6-foot-5 freshman, helped Notre Dame to a 44-20 advantage in points in the paint. The Irish finished with a 54-43 edge in rebounds.
Olivia Miles scored 16 points and Liatu King and Cassandre Prosper each had 11 in the win. King left the game in the fourth quarter after hitting the floor hard during a battle under the basket.
Kseniia Kozlova had 14 points and 10 rebounds for James Madison (3-1).
Notre Dame: The Fighting Irish turned in a dominant defensive effort, but will need to step up their long-range shooting with Southern Cal, Texas and Connecticut on their schedule.
James Madison: The Dukes struggled offensively, particularly in the paint against a talented and tall Notre Dame team. The Dukes' defensive effort validates its selection as the preseason contender in the Sun Belt Conference.
Hannah Hidalgo swished a 3 after a steal to give Notre Dame a 30-17 lead and snap an 0-for-5 drought from beyond the arc.
Notre Dame blocked nine shots and limited James Madison to 21.7% shooting (15 of 69).
