Evans scores 27 to help No. 1 Louisville hold off ND
Dana Evans scored 27 points, including five late, to lead No. 1 Louisville to a 71-65 victory over Notre Dame on Sunday.
The Cardinals (18-1, 11-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their second straight, and their lone senior was a major reason why. A national player of the year candidate, Evans scored 16 of her points in the first half to help Louisville take a 42-34 lead at the break.
It’s the sixth time in Louisville’s last seven games that she’s scored at least 20. Louisville Jeff Walz thinks his guard who leads the
ACC in scoring has more than made a case to win the conference Player of the Year award for the second consecutive year.

It’s not yet known if Nance will have surgery.
