No. 2 Louisville Rolls Past No. 15 Syracuse, 76-51
February 07, 2019 | Women's Basketball
The victory extends Louisville’s winning streak to eight games.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Second-ranked Louisville (22-1, 8-1) barreled past No. 15 Syracuse (17-5, 6-3) 76-51 at the KFC YUM! Center. The 25-point victory balloons Louisville's winning streak to eight.
Â
Junior Kylee Shook tallied her third double-double, posting 12 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks.
Â
Syracuse has a reputation of forcing turnovers, but head coach Jeff Walz said that wasn't their only focus in preparation coming in.
Â
"We also knew we had to score. That's one thing when you play Syracuse, you have to be able to put the ball in the basket," Walz said. "Defensively, I thought we did a good job of not letting them get comfortable."
Â
Senior Asia Durr finished the night with 15 points while sophomore Dana Evans added 12. Both guards added four assists.
Â
Durr scored the first 10 points for the Cardinals. During an 8-0 run, junior Bionca Dunham scored two baskets at the rim to give Louisville an 18-4 lead. Dunham ended her foul-troubled night with nine points and four boards.
Â
Redshirt senior Arica Carter capped the opening quarter with a 3-pointer, giving Louisville a 30-17 lead.
Â
Louisville expanded on their lead in the second quarter. The Cards cashed in on Syracuse's mistakes, scoring 14 points off turnovers in the opening 17 minutes.
Â
By the halftime buzzer, UofL held a 21-point lead.
Â
The low-post pair of Shook and senior Sam Fuehring guided the Cards during a shooting slump to start the third quarter. The two combined for six points and six rebounds to keep Louisville thoroughly ahead.
Â
After making their first three shots of the quarter, Syracuse finished shooting 1-for-11. The Cardinals stepped the fourth quarter with a 70-42 advantage.
Â
Louisville shifts their attention to Virginia Tech for a quick turnaround. The Cards travel to Blacksburg, Virginia Sunday, Feb. 10 for a noon tipoff.
