Kelly Ratigan brings veteran guard savvy and homegrown grit to Notre Dame
In the 2025-26 season, Kelly Ratigan appeared in 17 games for Notre Dame, averaging 8.3 minutes, 1.4 points, and 0.6 rebounds while also contributing three assists and four steals[1]. The South Bend native is a compact 5-8 guard who returned home after three seasons at Loyola Maryland, and she’s valued more for steady, low-mistake play, local toughness, and bench spark than gaudy box-score numbers[1][3]. After an injury-disrupted stretch earlier in her career, she looks like a fit for a team that needs dependable depth, defensive energy, and an experienced locker-room presence[1][3][4].
