The standing: The team-history leg's present-state entry was verified on November 9–10, 2026, at 2–0 and No. 13 in both polls, with Detroit Mercy next on November 10. This pass confirms the standing at the hour of writing and adds the two results' detail. The season opened on November 1 in Rome, in the Eternal City Tip-Off, with a 99–75 win over Villanova; Hannah Hidalgo scored 32 points — her 18th career game of thirty or more — and the sophomore Leah Macy, in her collegiate debut after missing her freshman season, put up 27 points and 14 rebounds. On November 6, in the home opener at Purcell Pavilion, Notre Dame beat Stonehill 123–40: the largest margin of victory in the program's history, and its 123 points the second-highest total the program has scored and the most under Niele Ivey. Hidalgo had 27 points, 10 steals and 6 assists, and in that game passed 2,500 career points — the sixth player in ACC history to reach the mark. The banked team file carries her at 2,460 points entering her senior season; the two games' 59 points bring the arithmetic to 2,519, and the milestone as reported agrees with it. She stands second on the program's career scoring list in her senior year.
The next game: Detroit Mercy visits Purcell Pavilion on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 7 p.m. The standing therefore re-dates cleanly: 2–0, No. 13 in the AP poll as the standings pages stand on November 10, Ivey in her seventh season. The result of the Detroit Mercy game is the natural update cycle's first item against this section.
