NO. 1 LOUISVILLE 65, WAKE FOREST 63

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Dana Evans hit a driving shot for the goahead three-point play with 8.0 seconds left to help top-ranked Louisville (14-0, 7-0 ACC) barely avoid a huge upset by holding off Wake Forest (7-6, 4-5).

Evans’ driving shot against Gina Conti and free throw finally gave the Cardinals their winning margin.

But Louisville had to survive a final shot from the Demon Deacons, with Ivana Raca missing a 3-pointer from the right at the horn that would’ve given Wake Forest its first-ever win against a No. 1-ranked opponent.
