Cassandre Prosper’s 17 points and KK Bransford’s 15 points paced Notre Dame (3-1), which was held to 25 second-half points. The Irish shot 28.3% from the field, including 2-for-22 on 3-pointers.

Michigan never trailed and used a 20-9 run in the middle of the second quarter to build a 37-21 lead.

No. 11 North Carolina 82, Fairfield 68

Laila Hull scored 14 points off the bench as the Tar Heels produced a dominant second quarter and defeated Fairfield in the WBCA Challenge at Las Vegas.

Maty Wilke had 13 points and Reese Ross and Lani White both scored 12 points for Utah (3-1), which shot 41.5% from the field.

The equalizer was the first goal in four matches at Toyota Stadium for St. Louis (1-3-3, 6 points), which has gone 1-0-2 in its last three matches after getting shut out in three straight. Dallas (3-1-3, 12 points) is now unbeaten (2-0-2) in its last four matches and has outscored St. Louis, 8-1, in those four home matches. The teams played to a scoreless draw in the opening 45 minutes, despite chances from both sides. St. Louis’ Marcel Hartel had two chances himself early on. He took the ball down to the end line in the third minute and sent it across the goal mouth, but there was nobody home to tap it in. Then, in the 21st minute, Hartel took the ball down the left side into the box and tried to beat Michael Collodi to the near post, but Dallas’ goalkeeper turned it aside. In the 30th minute, Conrad Wallem just missed connecting with Sergio Cordova, which would have left the St. Louis attacker alone in the middle.

Burki and Collodi, who had four saves, denied late winners off attempts from both attacking sides to preserve the draw. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Timo #Baumgartl #scores #61st #minute #Louis #City #tie #DallasApr 11, 2026; Frisco, Texas, USA; St. Louis CITY SC forward Simon Becher (11) dribbles the ball as FC Dallas defender Osaze Urhoghide (3) defends during the first half at Toyota Stadium.

Two-time defending champion Italy won Saturday’s decisive doubles rubber to sweep into the Billie Jean King Cup finals as the United States was dumped out by Belgium, with Ukraine, Spain, Britain, the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan all also advancing.

Olympic champions Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini sealed the winning point for Italy with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Japan’s Shuko Aoyama and Eri Hozumi on clay at Velletri, south of Rome.

Paolini and Elisabetta Cocciaretto had given the host a 2-0 overnight advantage.

Last year’s runner-up the USA—the record 18-time winner—was beaten 3-1 by Belgium.

The Americans dragged themselves back into the tie with Caty McNally and Nicole Melichar’s doubles win after losing both singles matches on Friday.

But Greetje Minnen surprised world number 16 Iva Jovic 7-5, 6-3 as Belgium booked a return to the finals, to be held in Shenzhen in September, for the first time since 2022.

In Melbourne, Harriet Dart and Jodie Burrage won the doubles rubber to power Britain past Australia.

Britain started the day with a commanding 2-0 lead after teenager Mika Stojsavljevic upset Talia Gibson and Dart beat Kimberly Birrell on day one.

It left Australia’s Storm Hunter and Ellen Perez facing a must-win clash in Melbourne, but they failed to rise to the occasion and were beaten 6-3, 6-4.

“That feels amazing,” said an emotional Burrage, who has battled injuries in recent times.

“I’m proud of us for the way that we played, way that we came out and managed to close that out.”

It was an impressive victory, with none of Britain’s top four making the long trip, with Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter and Fran Jones opting to focus on the European clay-court season and Sonay Kartal injured.

Belinda Bencic missed three match points in the fourth rubber of Switzerland’s tie with the Czech Republic before Marie Bouzkova gave the Czechs a thrilling 3-2 win by defeating Viktorija Golubic.

Bencic saw three chances to send Switzerland to the finals come and go in a deciding set tie-break before losing 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (11/9) to Linda Noskova.

Bouzkova then sealed the seven-time winners’ overall victory by seeing off Golubic 7-6 (7/4), 6-3.

Twins Lyudmyla and Nadiia Kichenok gave Ukraine an unassailable 3-0 lead after the doubles in the southern Polish city of Gliwice.

Marta Kostyuk and Elina Svitolina won Friday’s singles.

Overnight, Slovenia and Spain had been tied 1-1 on clay in Portoroz.

But Aliona Bolsova and Sara Sorribes Tormo teamed up to win the doubles. Kaitlin Quevedo then rallied past Veronika Erjavec 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 to seal the winning point for Spain.

Kazakhstan won 3-1 against Canada after former US Open champion Bianca Andreescu lost her reverse singles tie 7-6 (7/5), 3-6, 7-6 (7/4) to Yulia Putintseva.

Andreescu had pulled Canada level 1-1 on Friday.

But Anna Danilina and Zhibek Kulambayeva beat Andreescu and Cross 7-5, 6-1 in Saturday’s doubles.
