ATLANTA (AP) — Freshman Olivia Miles finished with 18 points and eight assists, Dara Mabrey scored six of her 11 points in overtime and No. 19 Notre Dame upended No. 16 Georgia Tech 72-66. Mabrey grabbed a rebound and fed Miles for a layup to open the scoring in the extra period and the Fighting Irish (20-6, 11-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) never relinquished the lead. Mabrey followed with a jumper for a 65-61 lead, and, after a basket by Georgia Tech’s Nerea Hermosa, she answered with a three-point play for a 68-63 Irish lead with 1:23 left to play. The Yellow Jackets (19-7, 10-5) hit 3 of 4 free throws to pull within 68-66, but Miles sank two foul shots with 24 seconds left and Mabrey added 1 of 2 11 seconds later to preserve the win.
