SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Star guard Olivia Miles fell to the court under the basket early in the fourth quarter of third-seeded Notre Dame’s women’s NCAA Tournament opener on Friday and left the game. Notre Dame defeated Stephen F. Austin 106-54.
Miles limped off the court and headed to the locker room after suffering the injury.
She had two points and eight assists in the game against Stephen F. Austin. Although Miles was grabbing her left knee, Notre Dame head coach Niele Ivey said in the post-game press conference that Miles suffered an ankle injury when she stepped on someone’s foot, and was going to be OK.
The senior guard, a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection, missed the 2023-24 season with a knee injury.
Miles is the only player in the country with three triple-doubles this season. She averages 16.2 points, 5.8 assists and 5.9 rebounds a game.
The Fighting Irish led 82-43 when Miles was injured
Fighting Irish teammate Maddy Westbeld said that she is confident Miles will play if she is cleared.
“If it’s not serious, you know she’s going to play. She’s an incredibly tough player.”
