Louisville Plays at Boise State on Monday Night

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Following a 75-49 win at Chattanooga last Friday, University of Louisville women's basketball returns to action on Monday night when they play at Boise State.

In the two wins, UofL has outscored opponents 61-18 in the third quarter. They led WKU 54-43 at halftime and then took control of the game by outscoring the Hilltoppers 31-8 in the third. At Chattanooga, they led 28-21 at half and won the third quarter 30-10 to open up the game.

Last week, senior guard Asia Durr was named ACC Player of the Week after averaging 28.5 points per game in wins at Western Kentucky and Chattanooga. This marks the seventh time she has been named ACC POW and she earned the honor four times last season.

In her final season opener, Durr scored the Cards' first 11 points and finished with 33 to set UofL's all-time record for points in an opener. She scored her 33 points in just 21 minutes, shooting 12-21 from the floor and 7-15 from 3-point range. She followed that by scoring 24 points at Chattanooga, 14 of which came during a 30-10 third quarter. She finished 7-14 from the floor, 5-10 from deep, with three assists and four rebounds.

Sophomore guard Dana Evans recorded nine assists at UTC, which was one shy of her career-high of 10 at Kentucky (12/17/17). She was named to the ACC All-Freshman team a year ago. She led all ACC freshman, ranked 11th in the league and second on the team with 3.5 assists per game.
