Oregon State’s victory over Notre Dame eliminates last perfect women’s March Madness bracket

Oregon State's victory over Notre Dame eliminates last perfect women's March Madness bracket

The last perfect entry in Yahoo's women's basketball bracket contest has fallen.

With Oregon State's 70-65 victory over Notre Dame on Friday, Trisdyn's Rad Bracket finally picked an incorrect winner, ending an impressive run into the Sweet 16. The bracket had the Fighting Irish advancing to the women's Elite Eight to face South Carolina. Alas, that matchup can no longer happen with the No. 3 seed Beavers winning.

Timea Gardiner led the No. 3 seeded Oregon State with 21 points while adding 11 rebounds and four assists. Raegan Beers scored 18 points and led the Beavers with 13 boards.

No. 2 Notre Dame was led by Sonia Citron's 22 points and seven rebounds. Maddy Westbeld added 19 points. Star guard Hannah Hidalgo was limited to 10 points on 4-for-17 shooting and missed time in the second quarter when referees made her leave the game to have a nose ring removed.

Oregon State will face the winner of Friday's matchup between No. 4 Indiana and No. 1 seed South Carolina in the Elite Eight on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Trisdyn's Rad Bracket still has all of its Final Four picks alive with South Carolina, Texas, USC and Iowa. Perfection may no longer be in reach, but winning it all could still happen.
