Brittany Bock scored twice in the first half — the first on a rocket from 25 yards out — and Kerri Hanks capped the scoring with her nation-leading 22nd goal of the season, as No. 1 Notre Dame advanced to the NCAA Division I women's quarterfinals with a 3-0 victory over Colorado.
Notre Dame is headed to the NCAA quarterfinals for the 10th time in the past 13 seasons, with the next game tentatively set for Friday, Nov. 24, at Alumni Field against the winner of Saturday's gamne between Boston College and Penn State.
The Irish outshot UC, 26-5, and didn't allow a shot on goal for the sixth time this season.
''We were very concerned with [Nikki] Marshall up front,'' said Notre Dame coach, Randy Waldrum, ''but defensively we completely shut that down. They never really got in behind us and she never broke free to use her pace. Defensively, that's a credit to our backs but our midfielders and forwards also did some great defending.
Notre Dame's 31-game home winning streak ranks fourth in Division I history, just one out of third place on that list (32, by Santa Clara from 1997-2000). Penn State won 39 straight home games from 2001-04 while North Carolina holds the record with an 84-game home win streak from 1986-94.
