SOUTH BEND, Ind. (Interstat) — The Notre Dame women’s basketball team, riding a wave of dominant, high-scoring victories, will look to continue its perfect start when it hosts a struggling Akron squad on Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, at the Joyce Athletic Center.

The Fightin’ Irish (2-0) have opened the season with a pair of lopsided wins, most recently a 116-58 rout of Chicago State on Sunday. Guard Hannah Hidalgo led the charge with 32 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, while Cassandre Prosper added 28 points and seven rebounds.

Akron (0-2) seeks its first win after falling 70-61 at Robert Morris last Friday. Despite the loss, Ni’Rah Clark delivered a strong performance for the Zips, scoring 25 points and grabbing seven rebounds. The Zips’ defense will face a significant challenge against a potent Notre Dame offense that is averaging 107 points per game.

The matchup pits Notre Dame’s high-powered attack against an Akron team still searching for its footing in the early season. The game is part of a two-game homestand for the Irish before a neutral-site contest against Michigan. Akron will continue a difficult road stretch before hosting Binghamton on Nov. 20.
