Notre Dame’s 6-5 interior anchor with proven finishing touch
Melissa D’Amico stood out at Notre Dame as a true paint presence: a 6-foot-5 center who brought size, shot-blocking, and efficient scoring, including a career Notre Dame average of 5.7 points per game and a senior-season line of 6.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in 2007-08. She was valued for her ability to anchor the post, finish around the rim, and give the Irish a physical tone inside—exactly the kind of player who makes opponents feel every trip. For a team needing size, defense, and veteran toughness, she was a strong fit.
