This game mirrored the men’s game against Duke yesterday in some ways except it was the Cards who got the 20 point lead and who managed to hold onto it despite a Duke run to come away with the victory.
Hailey Van Lith led Louisville in scoring with 17. Peyton Verhulst came off the bench with a hot hand to score 13. Kianna Smith added 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists.
After the game Coach Walz praised Peyton’s play. “I was really pleased with the way she played and it wasn’t just because she scored.
