The No. 24 ranked Louisville women's basketball team defeated Wake Forest 88-80 on Sunday at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, securing a hard-fought Atlantic Coast Conference victory by relying on late-game free throws. Led by Sananda Fru's 17-point performance, the Cardinals managed to stave off a spirited comeback attempt by the Demon Deacons. The win was critical for Louisville as they sought to maintain their standing in the national rankings and navigate a momentum-shifting second half that nearly saw the game slip away. Louisville appeared to be in total control for much of the contest, building a substantial 15-point lead during the second half. However, Wake Forest mounted a resilient offensive surge, capitalizing on defensive lapses to erase the deficit and put the nationally ranked Cardinals on the defensive. The Demon Deacons' rally turned what looked like a blowout into a high-stakes battle in the closing minutes, testing the composure of the home team as the lead dwindled to a single possession. In the final stretch, Louisville’s ability to draw fouls and convert at the charity stripe proved to be the deciding factor. While their field goal efficiency wavered under pressure, the team showed mental toughness by sinking critical free throws to neutralize the Wake Forest run and rebuild their cushion. The victory highlights both Louisville's offensive potential and their ongoing struggle to maintain consistency throughout all four quarters, providing a vital lesson as they head deeper into the competitive ACC schedule.
