OSU was within a possession for the majority of the first quarter before Louisville closed with the final four points of the period to lead, 19-13.

The Cardinals pushed the margin to 15 before junior Natasha Mack knocked down a trey to end the half and cut the deficit to 37-25. at the break.

Halfway through the third, Louisville pushed the lead to 20 and the Cowgirls would never get closer than 16 the rest of the way.

Dana Evans led all scorers with 28 points on a 10-of-15 shooting performance, including 6-of-9 from deep, while junior Vivian Gray led the Cowgirls with 18 points and three steals.
