The Fighting Irish could have clinched the ACC regular-season championship with a win Sunday. But it was a loss in a game that "was great for the women's game."

Sonia Citron was down to the final frantic seconds, her top-ranked Notre Dame team down three and on the verge of its first loss since November. There was just enough time to launch a contested 3-pointer over N.

Notre Dame is trying to run the table in ACC play but with just five games to go, one of its biggest tests awaits.
