· The two teams have met four times in the NCAA Women's National Semifinals with Notre Dame holding a 3-1 edge in victories.

· Connecticut leads the all-time series 30-11.

· To date, Connecticut has won eight NCAA Women's National Championships (1995, 2000, '02, '03, '04, '09, '10, '13) and Notre Dame captured the 2001 national title.

The 2014 Jimmy V Women's Classic marks the first time the Fighting Irish will be participating, while Connecticut will be playing in the annual event for the fourth straight year and seventh time overall.

The 20th edition of the Jimmy V Men's Classic will showcase Villanova vs. Maryland and Indiana vs. Louisville on Tuesday, Dec. 9, from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
