Notre Dame announced Thursday that All-American guard Olivia Miles will miss the women’s NCAA tournament after suffering a knee injury in the regular season finale against Louisville.
“After consulting with the medical staff and undergoing treatment and examinations by our physicians, All-American guard Olivia Miles will miss the remainder of the season,” the statement read.
Miles was sidelined during the ACC tournament where the Fighting Irish lost to the Cardinals in the semifinals but now it appears she will also miss the Big Dance. The sophomore is one of the best players in the country and has already etched her name in the Notre Dame record books.
She has three career triple doubles—the most in program history—and she became the first men’s or women’s player to ever notch a triple double during the NCAA tournament last year. She averaged 14.3 points, 6.9 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game this past season.
Notre Dame is slated to play Southern Utah to start March Madness on Friday.
