The Syracuse women’s basketball team, never one to be taken lightly, arrives in town with an impressive 17-4 won-lost record. Ready to take it to the University of Louisville, they were. But Asia Durr was ready, too.
Asia scoring UofL’s first eight points and 12 of her 15 points in the first quarter. Getting the Cardinals off to a splendid start with a 30-17 in the first 10 minutes. The visitors would be playing catch up the rest of the night.
Louisville posting a 76-51 win over the nation’s 14th ranked team before a crowd of 8,251 at the KFC Yum! Center. This on a night when Notre Dame and North Carolina State were losing, putting the Cardinals on top of the ACC with an 9-1 mark and 22-1 overall.
Durr would cool off, failing to make a field goal during the next three quarters. She was four of 13 from the field but five of five from the free throw line and she had four assists.
Kylee Shook and Dana Evans taking up the scoring slack. Shook recording 12 points while pulling down 11 rebounds and blocking three shots. Evans with 12 points while adding four assists and making four steals.
Arica Carter and Sam Fuehring with four assists as well, Jazmine Jones with three. An amazing total of 22 assists for the night.
Another one of those great games in what could be a special season for the Louisville women.
