No. 4 NC State women top Louisville for 2nd win over No. 1

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Elissa Cunane scored 16 points in her first game in nearly a month because of COVID-19 protocols, and No. 4 North Carolina State beat the nation’s top-ranked team on its home floor for the second time this season, topping No. 1 Louisville 74-60. Jakia Brown-Turner and Jada Boyd also scored 16 points apiece and Raina Perez added 15 for the Wolfpack, who used a stifling defense to hand the Cardinals their first loss of the season. N.C. State beat then-No. 1 South Carolina 54-46 on Dec. 3. Dana Evans scored 29 points for the Cardinals, but no other Louisville player scored in double figures.
