Good Monday morning,
It's a cold one in Louisville to start the week which means basketball season is back to help us get through it.
The WBB squad opened up at home on Sunday afternoon. I had some recent car troubles so I couldn't make it down to the Yum against the Norse. But Jared was able to get some great snaps from the action.

FRED REPORT
REBOUNDING -- The Cards out rebounded the visitors 38-33 with Laura Ziegler leading for Louisville two games in a row.. she had 11 and almost a double double. Capital R
EFFORT/EXECUTION -- It was cold morning in the Ville and UofL saved the warm up for the second half but were extremely efficient by the end of the match. I give this one a Capital E
DEFENSE -- UofL's defense forced 18 turnovers and had 25 points off of them. Their ability to turn it up in the second half to detain NKU's efforts merits a Capital D
FINAL FRED TALLY: f-R-E-D

It took 4 sets (25-16, 20-25, 25-18, 25-17) to put the Demon Deacons away on Sunday afternoon as Louisville moves to 20-4 overall, 12-2 in the ACC.
Kalyssa Blackshear had 18 kills to lead all scorers and 6 blocks to boot. She had a .412 hitting percentage while the Cards hit .302 as a team. UofL more than doubled the blocks of WF with 16-7 including 6 aces while committing almost half as many errors.
Chloe Chicoine joined Blackshear in double digit kills with 15, adding 10 digs and three blocks. Cara Cresse had 10 kills and five blocks. The defense was led by Kamden Schrand's 13 digs and two aces along with Hannah Sherman's 10 blocks.
UofL returns to the Ville for a pair of matches at L&N Federal Credit Union Arena. The Cardinals will face Florida State on Thursday at 8 p.m. on ESPNU.

FRED REPORT
FREE THROWS -- Louisville went 9-13 at the line which just barely missed the 70% minimum requirement for a letter in the category for the first time this season.. However I really dont feel like it was a bad night at the line when two players only missed one and another went 1-3.. so im giving it a lower case f
