This was the third straight year Stanford and Notre Dame have met in the NCAA Tournament, with the Cardinal winning the past two in the Lexington Regional. "It was a screen for Arike," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said of the final shot. The Cardinal also dropped Notre Dame to 7-1 in the Elite Eight. Marina Mabrey 20 for Notre Dame, which had sought its sixth Final Four in seven seasons. Notre Dame seemed to do everything right for most of the game but couldn't stop Stanford's perimeter game in the second half.
