LOUISVILLE, Ky. – After No. 7/7 Florida State took game one of a Sunday ACC doubleheader 9-0, the University of Louisville softball team and the Seminoles played through 11 scoreless innings in game two, resulting in a 0-0 tie when the contest was called because of a pre-determined stop time due to Florida State's flight.

One out later, Dani Morgan sent a fly ball to shallow centerfield where Celene Funke made a diving catch and threw a strike to catcher Cassady Greenwood who tagged Flaherty out at the plate for an inning-ending double play.

The Cardinals (17-23-1, 11-17-1 ACC) had a scoring opportunity in the fourth when Taylor Roby delivered a one-out double and took third on a groundout, but another groundout ended the inning.

Louisville also had a runner in scoring position in the 11^th when Carmyn Greenwood singled and Roby was intentionally walked for the second time in the game to put two on with two outs, but the Cardinals were unable to capitalize.

Roby got the start in the circle and threw seven scoreless innings, striking out five and giving up six hits. Gabby Holloway scattered two hits and struck out one in 4.0 innings of relief.

Carmyn Greenwood and Makayla Hurst let the Cardinals at the plate with two hits apiece. Roby doubled and was intentionally walked twice in the game.
