Syracuse has stumbled since a six-game win streak that included a victory over Ohio State, dropping eight of nine. Louisville grabbed control with a big first quarter, and pulled away during a strong second half. Ahlana Smith had 13 points, and Chelsie Hall and Emily Engstler each finished with 11. Najé Murray led the Orange with 16 points.
