With the win, the Tigers advance to the ACC Semifinals, held in Cary, N.C., and will take on No. 2 seed Notre Dame on Thursday. “I thought our concentration was very good across the whole game but especially in the second half.

This was a good challenge for our group and I thought we passed it really well,” Head Coach Eddie Radwanksi said. Mackiewicz earned her 13th shutout of the year, breaking the 24-year-old record of 12 set by Katie Carson in 1999.
