This is the final game of a two-game homestand to begin the season
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The No. 7 Louisville women's basketball team (1-0) is back in action Wednesday night as it welcomes the Stetson Hatters to the KFC Yum! Center as the opening week of the season rolls on. The Cards and Hatters are set to face off at 8 p.m. ET and it will be broadcast on the ACC Network.
The Cardinals are coming off a record setting win in their season opener after the 119-47 victory over cross-town foe Bellarmine Monday night. The 119 points were a program record for a single game, beating the previous record of 116 against DePaul back in 2020. The Cards also set program-best marks for points in a half (72) and points in a quarter (44). The previous quarter record was 40, also set against DePaul in 2020. The previous half record was 63 that was set against Bellarmine in 2023.
The Cards had a number of standouts on the court in the opener with seven different players scoring 10 points or more. Junior Zamareya Jones set a career high with six steals, tied a career high with nine assists and had zero turnovers in 22 minutes of game action. Over the past five seasons, Jones joins Rori Harmon and JuJu Watkins as the only Power Four players to have nine or more assists, six or more steals and zero turnovers in a game.
In her first collegiate game, Ariyana Cradle led the way for the Cards with a team-best six rebounds to go with 10 points. Newcomer to Louisville Amiya Joyner had 14 points and was a perfect 5-for-5 from the field against the Knights. Carys Baker also made her Louisville debut to the tune of 13 points, four assists and three rebounds. Tajianna Roberts led the team in scoring with 15 points on 7-for-12 shooting.
Louisville had 27 assists, 23 steals and just six turnovers on the night against Bellarmine. The 27 assists were the most in a game since 2017 and the 23 steals were the most in a game since 2015. Louisville forced Bellarmine into 35 turnovers on the night and only allowed five assists.
