Peters came in averaging 9.8 points, but had 12 in the first half for Notre Dame (13-3, 2-0 Big East). She made 9 of 12 shots, grabbed eight rebounds, made four steals and blocked two shots as the Fighting Irish won their season-high eighth straight game.

Novosel's 10 points sparked a 19-3 run capped by Skylar Diggins' two free throws that pushed the lead to 59-36 with 10:44 left to play.
