WASHINGTON (AP) – Ashley Barlow scored 21 points and No. 17 Notre Dame scored over 100 points on the road for the first time in school history in a 104-86 victory over Georgetown on Saturday.
The Irish (15-3, 3-1 Big East) led the feisty Hoyas 60-52 early in the second half, but pulled away for their second straight win when Brittany Mallory’s three-point play off a fastbreak layup started a 24-10 surge.

Kieraah Marlow, coming off a scoreless outing in her previous start, had a career-high 34 points and also finished with 13 rebounds for the Hoyas.
The Irish improved to 22-2 all-time against the Hoyas (10-7, 0-4), including five straight wins.
Melissa Lechlitner scored 13 points and Lindsay Schrader added 12 for Notre Dame, which led by as many as 22 points at 91-69. Erica Williamson and Becca Bruszewski each scored 10 points.
