Leading 49-47 midway through the quarter, Notre Dame finished the period on a 17-3 run to take control.

The Irish (6-0) took a 66-50 lead into the fourth quarter and continued to pull away.I thought our defense in the second half was much better than in the first, Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said.There was that point toward the end of the third quarter where we just stopped really working it and trusting that we can work for a better shot, TCU coach Raegan Pebley said.Turner, Notre Dames third-leading scorer, played only four minutes and scored just two points in the first half because of foul trouble. The Horned Frogs matched the Irish with 16 points in the paint in the opening half. Turner finished with 18 points, hitting 7 of 10 from the field as the Irish used Turners inside presence to outscore the Horned Frogs 20-10 in the paint in the second half.I thought Bri made a huge difference when she was back in the game, McGraw said.Ogunbowale hit 5 of 6 3-pointers and tied for the team high with seven rebounds. AJ Alix topped the Horned Frogs (4-1) with 16 points.Notre Dame built a 22-15 first-quarter lead before the Horned Frogs inched closer.

Ryan Garbutt had a goal and two assists as Dallas snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Such a triumph may have been better for Collingwood earlier in their AFL season, but coach Nathan Buckley says hell take a 32-point upset of Greater Western Sydney any time of the year.A dominant second quarter on Saturday sparked an extraordinary Magpies resurgence to overrun the Giants 19.11 (125) to 14.9 (93) and shatter their perfect Spotless Stadium record.Travis Cloke stuck it to his critics with four goals and Jesse White booted three to offset Jeremy Camerons five majors and Jonathon Pattons three.It was the Pies third-straight victory and leaves them 7-8 with seven matches remaining.You can only look after whats going on right now and it was a really positive performance, Buckley said.It was the type of footy that, for the most part, we like to play.The first quarter was a little bit shy of it and we were sloppy in the last, but the second and third quarters were dominant.The Giants failure to showcase their top-four credentials on home turf means they slide to fourth spot and are at risk of slipping further down the congested top eight.Not that the crowd of 13,483 would have known it was coming after an opening term in which the home side ruled in all the major statistics.Early signs were ominous for the Pies, who struggled to deal with the Giants superb ball movement, which yielded a 24-point lead at the first break.Shane Mumford looked set for another cracker, imposing himself with 11 first-quarter hitouts.But where Mumford shone in the first term, it wass his ruck counterpart Brodie Grundy who reigned in the second and became pivotal in the victory with a total 28 hitouts, 26 disposals and one goal. Thomas Delaney Jersey. Mumford was on top of Brodie and they were just able to score from stoppage too easily ... Brodies last three quarters against his direct opponent were as good as hes played.Hes in a sweet vein of form at the moment so its good to see him get reward for effort.The Pies piled on nine goals in the second quarter to execute a stunning 42-point turnaround and lead 76-58 at halftime.Former Giants Adam Treloar (27 disposals) and Taylor Adams (31 disposals) led the charge, which only ballooned as the match continued and the hosts momentum nearly ground to a halt.An eight-goal run lifted the Pies to a 30-point lead during a third term underpinned by direct and efficient play.Stephen Coniglio played a lone hand in the Giants midfield, recording a team-high 30 disposals, 14 contested possessions and 17 handballs.But Buckleys outfit kept the pressure on, twisting the knife with 20 more tackles overall than the Giants and outdoing them by nine clearances and 13 contested possessions.They were clearly too good for us, Giants coach Leon Cameron said.We obviously havent returned after the bye in the shape we needed to.But Collingwood, to their credit, after quarter-time were just too hard for us.
