Getting a 14-25, 25-11, 25-18, 25-17 win, the Cardinals move to 23-0 on the season and 13-0 in the ACC. The Cards hit .248 for the match with six aces and 13 blocks.

Anna DeBeer had 11 kills and three blocks. Libero Elena Scott had 12 digs and five aces. Tori Dilfer notched 36 assists, nine digs and a block.

The Cards shook off a un-Louisville-like first set . North Carolina handed the Cardinals their worst set loss of the season when the Tar Heels rolled 25-14.

UofL regained their momentum in the second set, running out to an early lead. Three consecutive aces by Scott put the Cardinals up 15-7 and sparked UNC to use a timeout which turned into a 7-0 run in all for Scott

UNC erased an early deficit to tie at 19-10 but a 5-0 run powered by Scott;s serving took the Cards to 15-10 and forced a UNC timeout. Scott took two more points before Carolina finally got the sideout. When the deficit grew to eight at 19-11 on a kill by Aiko Jones, UNC burned its last timeout. The Cards continued to roll to the 25-18 win.

In set four the Cards continued the momentum, UofL took a 12-7 lead in the fourth to causing a UNC timeout. The Cards did not relent and UNC had to use its final timeout trailing 17-11. The Cardinals withstood a 4-0 run by the Heels that took UNC within three at 20-17. The Tar Heels would not score again as the Cards got to set point at 24-17 on an Jones block and an ace by Ayden Bartlett ended the match at 25-17.

Louisville hosts No. 13 Georgia Tech next on Friday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m.
