NOTRE DAME 3, CINCINNATI McNICHOLAS 2 — Junior shortstop Mickie Terry scored from first on a sacrifice bunt by Maria Schaefer, providing just enough for the Pandas to pull out a pitcher’s duel between Notre Dame sophomore Bridget Stewart and McNicholas junior Abby Jones.

Terry also played a key role in Notre Dame’s two-run third inning, driving in one run with a single off the first base bag.

Amanda Meagher drove in the other run on a ground out.
