Westminster too much for Notre Dame

That came after Dexter beat Notre Dame 74-42 Monday night.

Notre Dame fell to 18-5 while Westminster improved to 16-5.

"They're huge," said Notre Dame coach Renee Peters of a Westminster club that features three players taller than 6 feet.

Miranda Fowler led the Bulldogs with 10 points.
