dominant victory

In a balanced scoring attack, all 11 players on the Louisville roster contributed points in the win, marking the third time this season that this feat has been achieved. Leading the way for the Cardinals was Jayda Curry, who tallied a team-high 15 points on efficient shooting from the field and beyond the arc. Curry has been in excellent form during the month of January, scoring in double figures in four out of her last five games.

The Cardinals will face off against the Panthers on Thursday, January 11 at 6 p.m. ET. The game will be aired nationally on the ACC Network. Louisville has a strong history against Pitt, leading the series 25-2. Since joining the ACC, the Cardinals have remained undefeated against the Panthers in conference matchups.

The Cardinals showcased their defensive prowess, limiting Morehead State to a mere eight points in the second quarter. This has become a trend for Louisville, as they have now held their opponents to single-digit quarters on nine occasions this season, a significant improvement from last season’s 22 such quarters.

The standout performer of the game was freshman Rob Dillingham, who led all scorers with an impressive 17 points. Fellow freshman guard D.J. Wagner also had a solid performance, contributing 13 points. Additionally, freshmen Justin Edwards and Reed Sheppard each scored 12 points, while senior Antonio Reeves added 11 points to the scoreboard.

The Cardinals showcased their offensive prowess by racking up 340 yards of offense, with 223 of those coming from their ground game. Head Coach Jeff Brohm was proud of his team’s performance, stating, “We were really efficient on offense, being really physical up front, running the football at them, and taking advantage of what the defense was giving us.”
