Cardnials beat Lady Vandals in NCAA 1st Round Game

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - If Louisville can keep playing like they did against the Lady Vandals in its NCAA tournament opener, they may go a long way in the NCAA tournament.

Sara Hammond led five players in double figures with 16 points and the third-seeded Cardinals rolled past Idaho 88-42 on Sunday in the opening round of the NCAA tournament.

Louisville shook off a sluggish start with a 28-10 run late in the first half. The Cardinals then opened the second half with 23 points in eight minutes to push their lead to 63-30.
