SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The tenaciousness of top-ranked Notre Dames defense, the speed of its offense and a crowd of 8,106 overwhelmed No. 17 Washington early in the Preseason WNIT final on Sunday and the Huskies never recovered.The Fighting Irish jumped to a 12-0 start and led 25-8 at the end of the first quarter en route to a 71-60 victory on Sunday as Arike Ogunbowale led Notre Dame with 17 points and Kathryn Westbeld added 14 points and eight rebounds. Ogunbowale and Marina Mabrey had four steals each as Notre Dame forced 17 turnovers, leading to 19 points.Transition is our game. We want to get out and run, Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said. I think thats one of the things were known for.Washington coach Mike Neighbors said the male players who the Huskies normally practice against werent available the past few days so it made it tougher to prepare for Notre Dames speed.Wow are they fast, he said.After trailing by as many as 20 points early in the second quarter and 19 late in the third quarter, the Huskies (3-1) closed to 63-53 on a basket by Chantel Osahor with 5:53 left. But Ogunbowale hit a basket inside and Turner hit a free throw and scored on a rebound as the Irish regained control.Turner added 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Irish (4-0).Kelsey Plum, who entered the game averaging 30 points, finished with 22 points on 7 of 19 shooting, including 2 of 6 from 3-point range. Plum credited Notre Dames defense.They sat on my left hand the entire game. They made me take a step back, fadeaway jump shots, and I didnt knock as many down as I should have, she said.The Huskies entered the game shooting 48.2 percent from 3-point range, but only shot 32 percent on Sunday.Washington, which hadnt trailed by more than seven points in its first three games, missed their first five shots and had four turnovers while the Irish hit 5 of 8 shots.I think once we got punched in the mouth we just settled down, and said, `Thats OK. Thats why theyre No. 1 in the country. Lets start playing basketball now. So I think that initial punch, it was cool to see our team battle throughout and play them even, Plum said. I think that will help us in the tournament and future big games. I think well be a little bit more prepared from the jump.BIG PICTUREWashington: The Huskies, playing on the road for the first time, struggled shooting early and couldnt hit consistently from 3-point range as they usually do. ... They fell 0-7 all-time against teams ranked No. 1.Notre Dame: After struggling both offensively and defensively in a four-point win against Green Bay, the Irish played much better at both and in extending their home winning streak to 34 games.POLL IMPLICATIONSWashington: The Huskies outscored the Irish 52-46 after a slow start so the loss shouldnt hurt them in the poll and could help them.Notre Dame: The win over a ranked team might be enough to keep hold of the top ranking, although the Irish could be hurt by the way they struggled to a four-point win over Green Bay on Thursday.HE SAID IT:Were not used to playing in front of 8,100 people. So that had a lot to do with it, Neighbors said.UP NEXTWashington: The Huskies host Idaho on Tuesday and Seattle on Saturday before playing at Portland on Sunday.Notre Dame: The Irish play Louisiana-Lafayette in Houston on Tuesday, a neutral-site home game for the Irish so Turner can play near her home in Pearland, before returning home to face TCU at home on Saturday.

HOUSTON -- When Team USA lines up for the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics on Friday night, the team will don custom-fitted Polo Ralph Lauren ensembles saturated with the red, white and blue of the American flag.It was a uniform months in the making.Each American athlete trekked to the George R. Brown convention center in Houston for whats called team processing. Its a 12-day affair where more than 700 athletes and staff are fitted for the Olympics.The athletes are given their opening and closing ceremony looks as well as a collection of Polo clothing to wear while at the games. A large ballroom of the convention center is transformed into a Polo showroom where mannequins display the closing ceremony looks, the Polo logo is everywhere and the Olympic rings also grace the walls as trendy music pumps through the space. Theres a large room where racks upon racks of clothing sits waiting to grace one of these athletes, and boxes of shoes piled at least seven feet high await their owners.Theres one side for the men and another for the women where each athlete tries on his or her clothing. It is there that they can consult with one of two stylists about the looks and where 16 tailors pull, fold and pin the clothing to make sure everything fits perfectly.Clothing that needs alterations is then taken to a room where about a dozen people wait to make the changes and have them back to the athletes within three hours.Fencers and sisters Kelley and Courtney Hurley had some fun standing on a podium and working on their modeling poses after donning the gear.The pair was impressed with the look.They fit nicely. Im super impressed, said Kelley, a bronze medalist in 2012. I like them more than the last ones. In London we had like long skirts that were kind of awkward to wear. Witth these, these are slick.dddddddddddd Im going to wear these all the time. Im actually going to wear them in real life.The star of the opening ceremony outfits is undoubtedly the expertly tailored deep navy blazers with gold buttons that feature the US Olympic team logo and a white embroidered Polo pony.The back of the jacket features USA in large block letters in the same white as the pony. The jackets will be paired with selvedge white denim jeans that are inscribed with the words Faster, Higher, Stronger on the inside of the waistband and are also detailed with red and blue stitching on the cuff.A classic striped T-shirt will be worn underneath the jacket and the look is completed with red, white and blue boat shoes, striped cotton bracelets and navy grosgrain belts.When superstar swimmer Michael Phelps takes his spot in the parade as the countrys flag bearer, his jacket will be on another level. To note the honor of being chosen as the flag bearer, Ralph Lauren added some special touch to his jacket.His jacket will feature electroluminescent panels to illuminate the US Olympic team symbol and the lettering on the back of his jacket.Its an honor that is deserving of special commemoration, and this year, we wanted to celebrate and illuminate -- literally -- that honor by designing this revolutionary jacket, said David Lauren, Ralph Laurens executive vice president of global advertising, marketing and communications.The closing ceremony outfits maintain the same aesthetic as the opening ones, but are a bit more casual. They feature a button-down shirt in red, white or blue featuring the pony logo, a striped T-shirt and white chino shorts. ' ' '
