Fourth-quarter surge drives women’s basketball past Chattanooga in opening round

By Dalton Ray–

In their second straight year hosting the first and second of the NCAA tournament, four seed women’s basketball beats 13 seed Chattanooga 82-62. Behind 27 points from junior Asia Durr, Louisville broke away from the Mocs during a 24-point fourth quarter.

Junior Myisha Hines-Allen added 16 points and 12 rebounds, helping the Cardinals own a 46-16 points in the paint advantage. Off the bench, freshman Jazmine Jones scored 14 points on 7-of-8 shooting.

The Mocs countered Louisville’s big lineup by working the 3-point line. Despite the smaller lineup, Chattanooga owned the rebounding advantage for most of the first quarter through scrappy play.
