February 18, 2023 | Women's Basketball
This will be the final road game of the regular season for the Cardinals
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Louisville women's basketball team is off on the road for the final time in the regular season as it ships up to Boston this weekend. The Cardinals are set to take on the Eagles on Sunday, February 19 from Conte Forum. The Eagles and Cardinals will square off at 12 p.m. ET and it will be aired nationally on ACC Network.
Louisville is coming off a tough road loss in overtime to #10 Notre Dame this past Thursday. The Cardinals tied the game at 76 with an Olivia Cochran layup with 3.8 seconds remaining but the Irish hit a shot at the buzzer to clinch the win. Louisville has been very good at bouncing back quickly following a loss under head coach Jeff Walz. The Cardinals are 82-24 after a loss in Walz's 16 seasons. In their last 16 games coming off a loss, the Cardinals are 14-2. So far this season, Louisville is 6-2 after a loss.
The Cardinals starting lineup switch has proven very effective as Louisville is 4-1 since they switched the starting five ahead of the Jan. 29 game against Syracuse. Mykasa Robinson has thrived as the starting point guard, leading the Cards in assists in each of the five games. Over the last five, she has averaged 7.4 points, 7.2 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game. Robinson set a career high with 12 assists in the win over Syracuse, the most assists by a Cardinal player since 2015.
Hailey Van Lith continues to have success with the new starting five, as she has averaged a team-best 15.6 points over the last five games to go with 4.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists. Van Lith has led the team in scoring in each of the last four games and has scored 17 points or more in each game. Chrislyn Carr is second on the team over the five-game stretch, averaging 14.4 points coming off the bench. She is shooting 49.7 percent (26-53) from the floor and has led the Cards in plus/minus in four of the five games.
Newly inserted starters Nyla Harris and Norika Konno have also played at a high level over the last five games. Harris set a career high with 18 points against Syracuse and a career high with 12 rebounds against #11/14 North Carolina. Konno set a career high with 12 points and four made threes in the home win over Clemson.

In conference play this season, Mair is second in the league with 5.9 assists per game. Robinson is right behind her in third with 4.6 assists per game.

Last Meeting (Jan. 19, 2023) - The University of Louisville women's basketball team defeated Boston College 73-65 Thursday night at the KFC Yum! Center marking its fifth-consecutive home victory. Hailey Van Lith led the way for the Cardinals (15-6, 6-2 ACC) with 24 points, six rebounds, and two steals.

Olivia Cochran chipped in with eight points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals, while Mykasa Robinson provided a spark off the bench, registering eight points, four assists, four rebounds, and two steals. Robinson also set a new school record for games played in a career with 145, which was previously held by Jazmine Jones. Louisville shot 50 percent from the field and from beyond the arc in the win, while forcing 23 Boston College turnovers. In the midst of a tightly contested second half, Carr buried a three from the right corner after a Louisville steal with 4:51 remaining in the game to give the Cards a five-point cushion, 62-57. On the ensuing Cardinal possession, Robinson drove down the lane and dropped the ball down to an open Nyla Harris, hitting the layup from the right block to extend the lead to seven. Boston College was able to pull within four with 42 seconds remaining, but Van Lith and Carr iced the game for the Cards both hitting a pair of free throws down the stretch to set the score at 73-65.
