Notre Dame Women’s Basketball Head Coach, Niele Ivey, knows that more scoring threats are needed next season to help take some of the load off of Hannah Hidalgo’s back — and help is on the way. All-Ivy guard, Madison St. Rose from Princeton, will use her last year of eligibility in South Bend for the Fighting Irish.

St. Rose Set For Graduate Season With Irish

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — After a historic undergraduate career at Princeton, Madison St. Rose will join Notre Dame women’s basketball for her graduate season, the program announced on Sunday.

A 5-10 guard from Old Bridge, N.J., St. Rose has a lengthy list of accolades including 2026 All-Ivy League First Team, 2024 All-Ivy League Second Team and 2023 Ivy League Rookie of the Year. She was also a member of the 2025-26 Wooden Award Watch List, an honor given to the nation’s top college basketball player.

“We are thrilled to welcome Maddie to our Notre Dame women’s basketball family!” Karen and Kevin Keyes Family Head Women’s Basketball Coach Niele Ivey said. “Maddie strengthens our backcourt with her experience, three-level scoring ability and leadership. She brings size, defense and versatility on the wing, plus a high basketball IQ that fits perfectly with everything that makes Notre Dame special.”
