LEXINGTON, Ky. — Louisville quelled concerns about handling Stanford’s tough defence with a fast tempo and athleticism that consistently converted opportunities. 4 seed Stanford 86-59 on Friday night in the women’s NCAA Tournament Lexington Region semifinal. Louisville thrived offensively, shooting 52 per cent and building a lead that reached 27 points with 1:24 remaining to finish their third consecutive NCAA Tournament rout. And to think, Louisville coach Jeff Walz wasn’t sure how his team would respond to Stanford’s pressure. The Cardinal bench outscored Louisville 23-13, but Stanford committed 19 turnovers leading to 22 points.
