2. Notre Dame Academy (19-2) of Middleburg, Va., was No. 6 in USA Today's most recent Super 25 national poll.

4. Wood senior forward Rosie Tarnowski had 12 points, five rebounds and two steals. Junior center Ashley Robinson finished with 10 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and four steals. Lisa Strack had 10 points, Taylor Peltzer had nine points and Alyssa Parsons added four points.

5. Both of Wood's losses this season have been to nationally ranked teams. Notre Dame Ohio's Lakota West beat Wood in a holiday tournament on Dec. 30.

8. Wood held the Dragons to one field goal in the first 9:50 of the second half and four field goals in the entire second half.

9. “It was really important (to play well in the second half),” Parsons said. “There was a little bit of screaming at halftime. We had to come back. We were pumped up, and we battled. We came out to show each other that we could play with them.”

10. “We came out flat in the first half, but we realized in the second half that we could play with them,” Robinson said. “When you face the No. 6 team in the country, you learn that if you can play with them, you can play with anybody.”
