Notre Dame’s 12-year run in women’s Top 25 is over
NEW YORK (AP) — Notre Dame’s 12-year run in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll is over.
The Fighting Irish fell out of the AP Top 25 on Monday for the first time since the end of the 2006-07 season, stopping a streak of 234 consecutive weeks being ranked. It was the third-longest active streak behind UConn’s (492) and Baylor’s (302).
While the Irish dropped out of the rankings, Oregon remained No. 1. The Ducks received 27 of the 29 first-place votes. Baylor was second, receiving the other two first-place votes, followed by Stanford, Connecticut and South Carolina.
ND could return to the rankings with a victory at No. 21 Michigan on Saturday.
