TIE BALLGAME — NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessWBB) “In the summertime, I usually shoot 500 shots a day on the gun just to keep my rhythm and form,” Mabrey said. “It really takes a lot of practice and discipline to shoot like that.

Mabrey, in many aspects, is just as important to Notre Dame’s success in the national championship game as any other member of the roster. TAKEAWAYS: One of those All-Americans, Shepard, knows how much of an impact Mabrey has on her team’s performance, “Marina has a huge impact on our offense,” the senior forward said. “She’s the one who gets us in the offense, brings the ball up the court.

She's the one in the huddle that's really getting everybody going.” The senior knows she has a reputation for being the ultimate competitor, “It’s mostly my personality, but I know it’s motivating my teammates,” Mabrey said. “I need to be that presence — that fiery and competitive spirit — it’s not hard for me to do it. I like to be that voice for my teammates.” 2019 CHAMPIONSHIP: Sunday will be Mabrey’s final chance to don the Irish uniform and close out an accomplished career.
