SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Kayla McBride scored 17 points, and Skylar Diggins had 15 points and nine assists as second-ranked Notre Dame cruised to its 10th straight victory, a 79-64 victory over Georgetown on Tuesday.

Notre Dame (15-1, 4-0 Big East), the nation's leading free-throw team at 81.1 percent, was 35 of 38 from the line, including 22 of 25 in the first half.

Georgetown (10-7, 1-3), which lost its third straight, fell to 3-26 all-time vs Notre Dame.

The Irish also held Sugar Rodgers, the nation's leading scorer, to a season-low 14 points. Rodgers was 1-of-6 shooting in the first half with just four points and finished 6 of 18 from the floor, including 0 of 7 from 3-point range. Jasmine Jackson led the Hoyas with 15 points.
