The Fighting Irish fell to their second straight loss in the ACC to fall into a tie with NC State (23-5, 15-2) in the regular season standings as the conference title race will boil down to both teams' final games.

O'Mariah Gordon added 15 pints, three rebounds, three steals and one steal while Carla Viegas contributed 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the three-point line for the Seminoles.
