HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Erica Williamson led five Notre Dame players in double figures with 16 points and the No. 6 Irish routed Louisville 89-52 Saturday in the second round of the Big East tournament.

Skyler Diggins had 13 points, Deveraux Peters added 11, and Lindsay Schrader and Becca Bruszewski each had 10. The Irish (26-4) advance to play No. 16 St. John’s in the quarterfinals on Sunday.

Monique Reid had 23 points and 13 rebounds to lead Louisville. The Cardinals end the season 14-17, a year after losing in the national championship game to Connecticut.

The Irish are just the fifth seed in this tournament, which includes five Top-25 teams.

Notre Dame and St. John’s ended the regular season in a fourth-place tie in the Big East, but the Red Storm earned the No. 4 seed with a 76-71 win over the Irish last month.
