Fairmont standout Madeline Westbeld has made her college choice.

Westbeld, a 6-foot-2 senior forward, announced Sunday night on Twitter she will continue her basketball career at Notre Dame.

Westbeld chose the Fighting Irish over Louisville, UCLA, Ohio State and Tennessee. She announced those five finalists in July.
