Winners of three of their last four games, the Cardinals move to 4-6 on the season, while Bearcats fall to 3-5.

Louisville opened the game on a 5-0 run in the first eight minutes. Scanlan scored just 40 seconds into the game to put the Cardinals on the board, followed by goals from Brenna Shanahan, Ally Hall, and two from Tessa Chad to build the lead.
