Louisville women’s basketball handles rival Memphis on the road

By Derek DeBurger and Jo Simpson

The Louisville Cardinals pulled off an impressive 87-68 victory over the Memphis Tigers.

The Cars controlled the momentum for the majority of the game thanks to an efficient offense and a commanding performance in the paint.

Sleepwalking in Memphis

The game started pretty uneventfully for both sides.

Nyla Harris got the scoring started, but only after over a minute of play. After another minute-and-a-half of play, Olivia Cochran hit a jump shot to give Louisville a 4-0 lead.

Unfortunately, the Cards struggled to get momentum going with three turnovers very early in the first quarter.
