The final score was 59-22 over Green.

Notre Dame has been a juggernaut on the hardwood in SOC 1 play that last several years, plowing through conference opponents. An even scarier fact for SOC opponents is that the Lady Titans have no seniors on the team.

This year’s squad is led by 6’1 junior Annie Dettwiller, who averages 12.3 points and 6 rebounds per game. 5’10 sophomore Gracie Ashley is averaging 8.3 points and almost 7 rebounds per game. Sophomore Ella Kirby is averaging 8.1 points per contest.

Portsmouth Notre Dame is now (10-0) in the SOC 1 and (13-3) overall, with a bright road ahead in the Division 4 tournaments.
