SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Ericka Haney led a decisive run midway through the second half and Notre Dame beat No. 16 Boston College 60-44 Sunday for its 49th straight home victory.
Haney's jumper from the foul line started a 10-0 burst and her turnaround jumper gave Notre Dame (15-7, 9-2 Big East) a 41-31 lead.
Notre Dame's home streak includes eight straight victories over ranked opponents in the Joyce Center.
Irish center Amanda Barksdale set a school record with 11 blocked shots. Freshman Jacqueline Batteast added 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Boston College (17-5, 8-3) entered the game shooting 44.1 percent from 3-point range, but shot 2-of-17 from behind the arc.
The Eagles, who had four of their top six players miss several days of practice this past week due to injury and illness, shot just 23.9 percent (17-of-71) from the field for the game. Amber Jacobs had 10 points.
