TOLEDO, Ohio -- Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw figured Brianna Turner gave her a huge size edge the Irish could exploit against Toledo.She was right.Turner had 26 points and eight rebounds to lead No. 2 Notre Dame to an 85-68 victory over Toledo on Sunday.The 6-foot-3 junior forward shot 11 for 13 from the field as the Irish outscored Toledo 44-28 in the paint.We thought we had an advantage inside, McGraw said. We didnt think they could guard her, so we really wanted to go in as much as possible.It was great to see her have kind of a breakout game offensively.Marina Mabrey added 19 points on 8-for-11 shooting for the Irish (10-1).Jay-Ann Bravo-Harriott scored 23 points to lead the Rockets (8-2), and Kaayla McIntyre added 13 points.Toledo coach Tricia Cullop admitted that Turners length and athleticism gave her team all sorts of difficulty.Turner is one of the best centers in the country, and shes a handful, Cullop said. She got us in some foul trouble early on.In a bid to slow down Turner, Cullop inserted 6-3 Sophie Reecher 3:41 into the game to guard the Notre Dame forward. Reecher had two fouls within 45 seconds and was back on the bench.Notre Dames only loss this season was a 72-61 defeat against No. 1 Connecticut on Dec. 7. The Irish have now won 13 consecutive games on the road, while the Rockets dropped to 4-1 at home this season.QUICK TURNABOUTToledo scored the first five points of the game on Bravo-Harriotts 3-pointer and Mikaela Boyds field goal, but it was all Irish after that. Notre Dame scored the next eight points, taking the lead on Lindsay Allens layup with 6:31 remaining, and never trailed again.Theyre very skilled, very talented and definitely athletic, Bravo-Harriott said. You just have to have a lot of grit to play with them because theyve got some of the best players in the nation.When Mabrey hit a jumper with 1:26 left in the opening quarter, the Irish led 17-7 and Toledo never pulled within single digits again.The story of the game was really the first quarter, Cullop said. We let things kind of get away from us. We learned a lot about ourselves in this game. We guarded some pretty incredible players.BIG PICTURENotre Dame: The Irish used their speed and tenacity to beat the Rockets, winning the turnover battle 28-17. To stay even as close as we did with 28 turnovers was pretty incredible, Cullop said. Weve got to take better care of the basketball against great teams. That would have helped us tremendously.Toledo: Both of the Rockets losses this season have come against top-10 opposition, though the first setback was much closer -- 75-73 to then-No. 8 UCLA in the final of the Cancun Challenge on Nov. 25.INJURED IRISHNotre Dame freshman Jackie Young was out of the lineup for the second straight game due to an ankle injury suffered when the Irish lost to Connecticut. Erin Boley, who picked up some of Youngs minutes, scored nine points.UP NEXTNotre Dame: The Irish stay in the area, heading to the Breslin Center Tuesday to meet Michigan State, the third game in a six-game road trip. Notre Dame doesnt play at home again until Jan. 5 against Wake Forest.Toledo: The Rockets, off to their best start since opening 12-1 in 2012-13, host Detroit Mercy on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON -- President-elect Donald Trump moved closer to nominating Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his secretary of State on Saturday, a decision that would bring a business leader with close ties to Russia into the Cabinet.Trump has privately signaled that he plans to tap Tillerson for the powerful Cabinet post, but had not formally offered him the job as of Saturday evening, according to people who have spoken with Trump and his transition team. Some advisers worry that Tillersons Russia connections would lead to a contentious Senate confirmation hearing and keep alive questions about Trumps own relationship with Moscow.Trump and Tillerson met privately in New York on Saturday, their second meeting in a week. The president-elects transition team said an announcement was not expected over the weekend.Tillerson rose to prominence through Exxons Russian energy business and was awarded Russias Order of Friendship. He has argued against sanctions the U.S. and European allies imposed on Russia after it annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.In an interview airing Sunday, Trump praised Tillerson as much more than a businessman.Hes a world-class player, Trump said on Fox News Sunday. To me, a great advantage is he knows many of the players and he knows them well. He does massive deals in Russia, he does massive deals, not for himself, for the company.Trumps own relationship with Russia was an issue through much of the campaign. The CIA has concluded with high confidence that Russia sought to influence the U.S. election on behalf of the Republican, an assessment Trump has rejected.The president-elects deliberations over his pick to lead the State Department -- particularly his consideration of Mitt Romney for the post -- have exposed anew the deep rivalries within Trumps team. Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway warned publicly that Trump supporters would feel betrayed if he were to choose a fierce rival for the post, especially given that some loyal allies -- most notably former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani -- also wanted the job.Giuliani officially took himself out of consideration for the Cabinet on Friday, though his standing had already been diminished. In addition to Romney, Trump has also been considering Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker and John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Trumps team has discussed bringing Bolton on as a No. 2 to Tillerson.The people who have spoken to Trump and the transition team about the State Department decision insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the internal deliberations publicly.Internal divisions were also complicating efforts to set up Trumps senior White House staff. Longtime aides are fearful of being left out of the mix as incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus builds out the West Wing team. Trump had given Priebus wide authority in the decision-making over White House jobs.But four people innvolved in the transition said Trump was irritated after learning of his loyalists frustrations with Priebus in recent press reports.dddddddddddd Trump made his displeasure clear to Priebus, who has begun outreach to some of the people who worked on Trumps campaign from the start.Two of those sources said Trumps irritation contributed to a decision to hold off on announcing his pick to succeed Priebus at the Republican National Committee. Priebus, who is fiercely protective of the RNC, is said to back Michigan GOP chair Ronna Romney McDaniel for the job. She appeared at Trumps rally in Michigan Friday night, but no announcement was made.McDaniel, who is Mitt Romneys niece, is still likely to get the RNC job, a Trump transition official said.Priebus was among a handful of Trump advisers who traveled with him to Maryland Saturday for the annual Army-Navy football game. The president-elect was cheered by the crowd as he joined decorated officers in private boxes at the stadium and he pumped his fist in the air a couple of times.The president-elect flew to Maryland from New York, where hed met privately with Tillerson. Trump is said to be intrigued by the prospect of putting an international businessman at the State Department. Hes already selected others with predominantly private sector experience to his Cabinet, including billionaire investor Wilbur Ross for Commerce.The 64-year-old Tillerson is a Texas native who joined Exxon straight out of college in 1975 and never left. Exxon also has operations in Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, and many other countries. Africa and Asia were its leading sources of oil production in 2015, ahead of the U.S. The company says it has a diverse portfolio of oil and gas projects around the world to mitigate risks, including political ones.Tillerson has held posts in the companys operations in both Yemen and Russia. Success in the latter post required aligning the companys interests with that of the Russian government.Early in the companys efforts to gain access to Russian market, Tillerson cut a deal with state-owned Rosneft. The neglected post-Soviet company didnt have a tremendous amount to offer, but Exxon partnered with it to be on the same side of the table, Tillerson said, according to Private Empire, an investigative history of Exxon by reporter Steve Coll.Tillerson, who became CEO on Jan. 1, 2006, is expected to retire in 2017. Tillersons heir apparent, Darren Woods, was put in place a year ago, so there would be virtually no additional disruption to Exxons succession plans if Tillerson were to become secretary of state.---Associated Press writers Ken Thomas and Dave Koenig contributed to this report.---On Twitter, follow Julie Pace at http://twitter.com/jpaceDC and Julie Bykowicz at http://twitter.com/bykowicz Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Baseball Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys China Stitched NFL Jerseys Cheap Custom Jerseys China Cheap Basketball Jerseys Authentic NFL Jerseys China Cheap College Jerseys Wholesale Football Jerseys ' ' '
