Villanova coach Perretta misses game

Villanova women's basketball coach Harry Perretta was not with the team for Saturday's game against No. 2 Notre Dame because of a death in the family. A team spokesman said Perretta attended a funeral Saturday and would return to practice Sunday.

Assistant coach Joe Mullaney ran the team in Perretta's absence. The Wildcats took a 12-6 record into the game at Purcell Pavilion against the Irish, who are 18-1.
