(SOUTH BEND) - With Notre Dame star forward John Mooney out due to a stomach virus, the team's other two tallest players each stepped up huge as the Fighting Irish pulled away late for a 63-53 victory over pesky Presbyterian on Monday night. Sophomore forward Nate Laszewski delivered a pair of power-move dunks down the stretch on his way to a season-high 11 points, while senior center Juwan Durham added a career-high 15 rebounds to go with 11 points and four blocked shots. Rex Pflueger scored 13 points and dealt six assists as Notre Dame (4-1) won its fourth straight, while fellow senior guard T.J. Gibbs gave the winners four players in double digits. Sophomore Cory Hightower paced the Blue Hose (1-3) with 15 points and eight rebounds. Ben Drake added 11 points. Mooney, who had played in each of ND's previous 73 games over the last two-plus seasons, is expected back in time for Thursday's visit by Toledo (3-1), according to Brey. The senior forward is the team's top scorer at 16.5 points per game and entered Monday sixth in the nation in rebounding at 12.5.
