For one quarter it seemed like a struggling Notre Dame team might’ve found their mojo again. Both teams traded leads and the Cards had 4 turnovers. However, soon enough the Irish found themselves facing their season-long woes again as Louisville turned up the heat and wore them down. The Cards had a 40-26 lead at the half and going into the 3rd quarter TV timeout Louisville allowed the Irish to score only 2 more points. Louisville was totally dominant in the second half.
Dana Evans led all scorers with 18 points to which she added 7 assists.
