It’s not fair to say two shots will define Ogunbowale’s career, considering she’s one of the more complete players in the nation. The ACC’s Female Athlete of the Year for 2018, Ogunbowale sent the Irish to the National Championship game with a deep jumper with 1 second left against Connecticut. Ogunbowale proceeded to drain a 3-pointer at the buzzer versus Mississippi State to win Notre Dame the title. Talk about clutch.
