No. 6 Louisville leads from start to finish to defeat Syracuse 84-65

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) --- Laura Ziegler scored 22 points and No. 6 Louisville
raced out to a quick lead it never gave up in an 84-65 win over Syracuse on
Sunday.
The Cardinals (22-4, 12-1 ACC) were coming off a one-point loss to Duke that
snapped the team's 14-game winning streak. They scored the first 12 points
against Syracuse, holding the Orange without a field goal in the first quarter.
Louisville built the lead to 28-6 over the Orange (19-5, 9-4) as Syracuse
missed all 13 of its field goal attempts in the first 10 minutes.
Syracuse didn't score its first basket until a jumper by Dominique Darius with
10 seconds gone in the second quarter, but the Cardinals went on to build a
36-14 lead.
The Orange stormed back, closing the first half on a 22-6 run to narrow the
margin to 44-36 at the break. Darius fueled the comeback, scoring all her 16
first-half points in the quarter and going 6-of-6 from the field, including two
3s.
Syracuse closed to within five at 59-54 on a layup by Burrows off a Louisville
turnover with two minutes to go in the third, but that's the closest Syracuse
would get. The Cardinals closed the game on a 25-11 run.
Mackenly Rudolph and Imari Berry had 15 points each for the Cardinals.
Darius led the Orange with 22 points. She made all seven of her shots,
including three 3-pointers. Uche Izoje added 13 and Sophie Burrows had 11.
Louisville outscored Syracuse 42-32 in the paint, including 14 in the first
quarter.
