November 30, 1996 - O'Keefe Gymnasium

Notre Dame 76, Georgia Tech 69

Carla Munnion surpassed the 1,000 point career scoring plateau in a losing effort as Tech fell to Notre Dame (No. 9 - AP) 76-69 in the championship game of the Comfort Inn Downtown Classic at O'Keefe Gymnasium.

Munnion scored 19 first-half points while Kathy Dortch added 11 first-half points as the Lady Jackets used "junk" defenses effectively to build a 16-point lead by the opening moments of the second half. Notre Dame's offensive and defensive adjustments led to a 20-2 run to turn the game around.

Munnion was named to the all-tournament team along with Kisha Ford.
