Lady Tops squander late lead, fall to Louisville

The WKU Women’s basketball team traveled to Louisville on Sunday afternoon, looking to defeat the Lady Cardinals for the second straight season in front of a crowd 9,168 people in the KFC Yum! Center.

For three quarters, it looked like Michelle Clark-Heard’s squad was well on its way to a second top-25 win this season as the Lady Tops led 52-44 heading into the final quarter. However, Louisville outscored WKU 24-9 in the fourth quarter en route to a 68-61 victory over the Lady Tops.

“I’m proud of my group but disappointed we came up on the short end,” Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard said after the game.
