SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) - The No.1 seeded Notre Dame women’s soccer team kicked off the NCAA Tournament with a dominant 4-0 victory over UIC.

Tessa Knapp put the Irish on the board in the 7th minute to give Notre Dame a 1-0 lead.

Codd added another goal in the 84th minute and Ellie Hodsden scored in the final 30 seconds of play to make it a 4-0 final.
