by LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Freshman Mariya Moore scored 15 points to help No. 10 Louisville rout Old Dominion 100-46 on Monday night.
Bouncing back from a loss to No. 8 Kentucky, the Cardinals (9-1) shot 52 percent from the field, including 64.3 percent from 3-point range. Louisville led 54-19 at the half and had a season-high 59 rebounds-18 on the offensive end-to the Monarchs’ 30.
Sara Hammond had 14 points, Jude Schimmel (Umatilla) got her first double-double of the season by scoring 12 points and adding 10 assists. Myisha Hines-Allen added 12, Bria Smith and Emmonnie Henderson each had 11 each and Megan Deines finished with 10.

The fifth meeting between the two programs – ODU won three of the first four – was tied at 5 before the Cardinals took control with a 17-0 surge.
