No. 1 Notre Dame (24-2, 15-0) is gearing up for what could be its toughest road challenge of the ACC season on Sunday, as the top-ranked Fighting Irish head to Raleigh for a high-stakes rematch against No. 13 NC State (21-5, 13-2).
This showdown revisits last year's ACC Championship clash, and a win for Notre Dame would not only secure the regular-season conference crown for the second time under Karen and Kevin Keyes Family Head Coach Niele Ivey (2023) but would also mark the eighth time in program history the Irish have clinched the title.
The Irish are coming off their seventh ACC victory this season by a margin of 30 points or more, matching their best mark since joining the conference. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack head into this matchup riding high after a commanding 83-68 road win over No. 20 Georgia Tech, marking their fourth triumph over a ranked opponent this year.
