PREVIEW: Louisville women’s basketball plays first home game

By Elizabeth Scanland

The No. 17 Louisville Cardinals will host the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles in their first home game of the season.

The Cards are looking to have a quick turnaround after losing 59-66 against No. 5 UCLA in the season opener.

Despite the loss, the Cards looked strong with the lead changing 13 times during the night, showing that Louisville has what it takes to compete with top teams.

Freshman Guard Tajianna Roberts had an impressive debut with 21 points to lead all scorers. Roberts is an effective three-point shooter, but her length also provides help on the defensive end as well.
