Notre Dame outscored Rutgers 43-16 in the second half to give coach McGraw her 400th win. The comeback included a 23-0 run.

"Twenty-three points in a row, that's crazy," said coach Stringer. "Batteast just put the team on her back and decided not to lose."

Batteast scored 27 on 10-for-20. "My teammates realized I was hot," she said.

"When Jackie's coming out, shaking people, pulling up and hitting jump shots, that gives the rest of the team a little more energy on defense," said Megan Duffy, who dished out 11 assists. "We're bouncing, our legs don't feel as tired. It's fun watching her hit those shots."
