Allen made a bit of history, becoming thefirst Notre Dame player in nearly 10 years toscore 25-or-more points in three consecutivegames.However,Allenwasjustpartofabal-anced scoring effort for Notre Dame, whichgotaparticularlystrongperformancefromitsfreshmen. Guard Melissa Lechlitner scored16 points and delivered a team-high fourassists in a reserve role, while center EricaWilliamson chipped in 10 points and sevenrebounds and guard Ashley Barlow cardedeightpointsandagame-highninerebounds. Chelsea Marandola paced Providencewith 24 points and nine rebounds, whileShauna Snyder added 11 markers. However,NotreDameheldtheFriarstoa.324fieldgoalpercentageandownedasizeable45-36edgeontheglass. Inaddition,theIrishonceagainwere sharp at the foul line, connecting at a77.8percentclip(28-of-36)ontheday. Alumni Hall has been a difficult place forNotre Dame to play in recent years, and itappeared that trend would continue, as theIrishbattledthroughturnoverproblemsintheopening 20 minutes and never led by morethan two points, while the Friars controlledmuch of the early tempo. However, in a signofthingstocome,NotreDameclosedthefirsthalfona10-3run,gettingsixpointsfromAlleninthespurttotakea39-36halftimelead. The Irish then came charging from thegate in the second half, ripping off 21 unan-sweredpoints in the first7:58andnotallow-ing Providence to score a single point untilBrittany Dorsey made two foul shots with11:03remaininginthesecondhalf.TheFriarsalsomisfiredontheirfirst12fieldgoalattemptsoftheperiod,whiletheIrishmadesevenofitsfirst10shotsinthatsamespan.SnyderfinallybrokethePCshootingdroughtwithafoul-linejumperat the10:37mark,butby then,NotreDamewasincompletecontrol,leading61-40.TheIrishgottheleadashighas67-42beforealatethree-pointerbyAshleyEtheridgehelpedthehostsclosethefinalmarginto17points.

BIG EAST Teleconference

seven games this season where the Irish have collected at least 15 steals. What’s more, Notre Dame’s season-high 21 steals vs. Boston Col-lege were the most for the Irish in a single game since Dec. 13, 1997 (22 vs. South Florida at the Joyce Center). Individually, the Irish have seven players with at least 20 steals this season. Sophomore guard Ashley Barlow leads the way with 39 steals, ranking 14th in the BIG EAST in that category (1.95 spg). Freshman forward Devereaux Pe-ters is next with 36 steals (1.8 spg.), and her seven thefts vs. Villanova on Jan. 16 were the most for an Irish player in a game since Jan. 30, 2005, when Megan Duffy had the last of her three seven-steal games that season in a 65-59 win at No. 9/10 Connecticut.

Keeping It On The Plus SideNotre Dame has registered a positive assist-to-turnover ratio in 12 games this season and ranks fourth in the BIG EAST (12th nationally) with a 1.12 assist-to-turnover ratio. Notre Dame also has assisted on 53.8 percent of its field goals this year (322 assists on 598 baskets), ranking fourth in the conference and 30th in the country with 16.1 assists per game.

Off And RunningNotre Dame has wasted l i t t l e t i m e in jumping ahead of its o p p o n e n t s this season. In nearly half (7) of their 15 wins, the Irish have opened up a double-digit lead less than 10 minutes into the game, while other first-half runs against Central Michigan (20-0), Bowling Green (18-3), Villanova (16-6) and Georgetown (15-3) aided those wins. Even in its defeat at third-ranked Maryland on Nov. 16, Notre Dame made a statement early with a 10-0 run in the first five minutes of action and led by as many as five points in the first half before the Terrapins rallied back for the win.

Allen Climbing Irish Points LadderSen io r gua rd Chare l A l len c o n t i n u e s t o make her way up Notre Dame’s all-time scoring list, currently stand-ing 12th with 1,338 points. Next up for Allen is Shari Matvey, who is in 11th place with 1,373 points from 1979-83. What’s more, Allen is 92 points away from moving into the top 10 on the Irish career scoring charts. The person currently holding down that 10th position? First-year assistant coach Niele Ivey, who had 1,430 points from 1996-2001.

Polling StationNotre Dame is ranked 20th in this week’s Associ-

ated Press Top 25 poll, falling four spots from last week’s survey. The season-high No. 14 rankings on Dec. 31-Jan. 7 were the high-est for the Irish in the media poll since the week of Jan. 2, 2006, when they were ranked 12th prior to losses at St. John’s (66-63) and home vs. Seton Hall (74-61). Notre Dame now has been ranked in the AP poll for 152 weeks during the program’s history, with every one of those appearances coming in the Muffet McGraw era. McGraw currently ranks 14th among all active NCAA Division I head coaches for weeks in the AP poll, and also stands 25th all-time in that category. The Irish also are in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll for the 12th consecutive week, dropping four places to 20th in this week’s bal-loting. Notre Dame’s No. 14 rankings on Jan. 2-8 were the highest poll position for Notre Dame in two years, when the Irish were tabbed 12th by the coaches prior to the aforementioned losses to St. John’s and Seton Hall.

More Polling DataNotre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw is one of 23 people in NCAA Division I wom-en’s basketball history who have both played for and coached a team that has appeared in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. Besides her 152 AP poll appear-ances while coaching at Notre Dame, Mc-Graw was the starting point guard at Saint Joseph’s (Pa.) as a se-nior in 1977, helping the Hawks rise to No. 3 in the nation. Of the 23 people on this elite list, 12 are currently NCAA Division I head coaches.

Clutch When It CountsNotre Dame is 49-of-62 (.790) from the free throw line in the final two minutes (plus overtime) this season. Leading the way is sophomore guard Ashley Barlow, who is 8-of-8 this year and 18-of-20 (.900) in her career when toe-ing the line down the stretch.
