Half of the women’s Elite Eight field is now set.
No. 6 Notre Dame, thanks to a massive performance from Hannah Hidalgo, got past No. 2 Vanderbilt on Friday night in their Sweet 16 matchup. That sent the Fighting Irish into the next round, where they’ll now have to take on top-seeded UConn. The Huskies, who haven’t lost all season, had no issues getting past North Carolina on Friday in their Sweet 16 matchup in Fort Worth.

Then out in Sacramento, UCLA got things started with a convincing win over Minnesota. The Bruins were only up by five at halftime, but ended up cruising to the blowout win. They’ll now take on Duke on Sunday, after the Blue Devils knocked off LSU with a wild buzzer-beater from Ashlon Jackson.
While the other two regions will battle it out on Saturday, these four teams are now just a win away from a trip to Phoenix.
Here’s everything you need to keep up with the Elite Eight this weekend.
