Louisville Holds Notre Dame to Three First-Quarter Points in Blowout Win

On a weekend highlighted by an unprecedented amount of top-10 upsets, Louisville made sure to leave zero room for doubt in a dominant showing on Sunday.

The Cardinals outscored Notre Dame 45-6 through the first 15 minutes of play en route to a lopsided 86-64 road victory against the Fighting Irish.

The season-ending victory marked Notre Dame’s first home loss of the season, and Louisville’s 11th win in its last 12 games.

Led by sophomore guard Hailey Van Lith along with seniors Emily Engstler and Kianna Smith, the Cardinals set the tone early and never looked back, jumping out to an absurd 31-3 lead in the first quarter.
