LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The No. 22/21 Louisville women's basketball team (7-3, 1-0 ACC) is back in action for a Sunday matinee matchup with New Hampshire on December 7 at the KFC Yum! Center. The Cards and Wildcats will square off at 12 p.m. ET and it will be streamed on the ACC Network Extra.

The Cards have been at home a lot over the early portion of the schedule. This is Louisville's eighth home game over their first 11 games. They have played nine games in the city of Louisville after playing at Knights Hall on Bellarmine's campus last weekend. Sunday's matchup with the Wildcats is the sixth game of their last seven played at the Yum Center. The Cardinals are 5-0 at home this season against unranked opponents.

Reyna Scott has been playing some of her best basketball over the past week for the Cardinals. Coming off of the bench, she has scored in double figures in back-to-back games while shooting 11-for-21 (52.4%) from the floor over the two games. She scored 13 points against Bellarmine and then tied a career high with 15 points against No. 3 South Carolina. She set a career high with 37 minutes played against the Gamecocks.

Elif Istanbulluoglu has also come up big for the Cardinals over the past few weeks. She has scored in double figures in four of her last six games. In her last game against No. 3 South Carolina, she tied a career high with 15 points and led the team with nine rebounds. She has scored 15 points in two of her last three games.

Tajianna Roberts had led the way offensively for the Cardinals this season with a team-best 14.0 points per game. She has scored in double figures eight times in the last nine games. She has scored 20-plus points three times this season and two of those have come against Top 20 opponents.
