NOTRE DAME, Ind. -

While there was good news to announce from the men's program, Notre Dame Women's Basketball announced it will be losing two players.

Erin Boley and Ali Patberg will transfer from the program.

Boley was the 2016 Gatorade National Player of the Year and a McDonald's All American as a high school senior. The 6-foot-2 forward played in 37 games with 10 starts last season and averaged 6.5 points and 2.8 rebounds in 15.0 minutes. She shot 39.5 percent from 3-point range, where her 119 attempts were the third most on the team.

Boley saw her role increase after All-American Brianna Turner went down with a torn ACL.

Patberg missed the 2015-16 season with a torn ACL after being named the 2015 MaxPreps National High School Player of the Year as a senior. The 5-10 guard played in 22 games last season and averaged 0.8 points in 7.7 minutes.

Notre Dame lost to Stanford in the NCAA tournament regional final.
