Muffet's "Not-Injured" vs. "Injured" Irish


Let's first make the assumption that Kat Westbeld can't play tonight, in Notre Dame's 2nd Round NCAA Tournament game against Villanova, because of her injured ankle -- leaving Muffet with six healthy scholarship players and five injured scholarship players...

Both of these TEAMS would probably be a top 10 ranked team -- think about that!!!

"NOT-INJURED" IRISH -- a #1 NCAA SEED:
  • Jackie Young
  • Arike Ogunbowale
  • Marina Mabrey
  • Jessica Shepard
  • Kristina Nelson
  • Danielle Patterson

 INJURED IRISH -- probably a #2 NCAA SEED:
  • Brianna Turner
  • Lili Thompson
  • Mychal Johnson
  • Makayla Vaughn
  • Katherine Westbeld

Villanova vs. Notre Dame on ESPN at 7 PM ET



Here's what the media has to say about tonight's NCAA 2nd Round game...
