Louisville nearly made a dramatic last second comeback, Aubrey Thorne came off the bench and nailed a three from the corner to cut it to 45-42 with 16 seconds left. On the other end, the Leopards got the quick defensive rebound, and they had the last shot of the game, but it wouldn’t fall.
Dani Vuletich led the Blue Devils with 19 points. All of her points came in the first half. Kennedy Miller took advantage of the Leopards defense focusing on Vuletich, and scored 12 points in the second half. Miller finished with 16.
