Schimmel leads Cardinals to first-round win
Louisville freshm an point
guard Shoni Schimmel had a
team-high 19 points on Sunday
against the Vanderbilt Commo
dores, in the first round of the
Women’s NCAA Tournament.
Louisville won the game 81-
62. The Cardinals were sched
uled to play this T uesday
evening against Xavier (game
time was after deadline for this
publication).
In the gam e again st
Vanderbilt, Schimmel directed a
young-but-poised offense.
Louisville used its quickness
to build a 12-6 lead, forcing
three
quick
turnovers.
Vanderbilt guard Gabby Smith,
p layin g in her hom etow n,
brought the Commodores back
by scoring eight straight points.
T h a t’s w hen L o u isv ille ’s
tough man-to-man defense and
balance took over.
Five Cardinals scored during
an 11-0 run that built the lead
to 27-16. Vanderbilt never got
closer than seven points the rest
of the way.
In the second half, Schimmel
took over by hitting three con
secutive baskets.
She got a rebound and drove
the length of the court for a
bank shot, then hit a pull-up
jumper that made it 49-32, giv
ing the Commodores a sense of
desperation.
V an derb ilt w ent w ith a
quicker lineup and scored the
next 12 points out of a timeout.
Louisville then went inside to
regain control.
Louisville (21-12) failed to
make the tournament last sea
son after losing to Connecticut
in the 2009 title game, a one-
year absence that motivates a
team
startin g
freshm an
Schimmel and two sophomores.
The failure to make last year’s
tournament was especially gall
ing because Louisville hosted
opening-round games at Free
dom Hall.
Coach Je ff Walz made his
players attend the other teams’
practices and see w hat they
were missing.
