CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Laura Ziegler finished with 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead No. 22 Louisville to a 65-54 victory over Clemson on Sunday in an Atlantic Coast Conference opener.
Ziegler made 5 of 11 shots and 7 of 8 free throws to help Louisville (3-1) improve to 15-0 against Clemson (3-2) since joining the ACC prior to the 2014-15 season.
Tajianna Roberts scored 12 on 4-for-16 shooting with two 3-pointers for the Cardinals. Reserve Reyna Scott pitched in with 10 points and five rebounds.
Rusne Augustinaite led the Tigers with 17 points, sinking 6 of 8 shots including all three of her 3-pointers. Reserve Raven Thompson scored 12 and Mia Moore totaled 11 points, eight rebounds and five assists before fouling out.
Augustinaite hit a 3-pointer and scored seven to help Clemson jump out to an 11-8 lead. Ziegler hit a jumper to spark a 7-0 run over the final 3:41 and Louisville led 15-11 after one quarter.
Elif Istanbulluoglu scored on both sides of a Roberts' 3-pointer and the Cardinals scored the first 11 points of the second period to take a 26-11 lead. Hadley Periman's layup with 45 seconds remaining left the Tigers trailing 30-20 at halftime.
Imari Berry came off the bench to hit all four of her shots and her only free throw, scoring nine of 17 third-quarter points for the Cardinals in upping their advantage to 47-36.
The Tigers closed within six on three occasions — the final one when Roberts hit a jumper to cut it to 55-49 with 2:54 remaining. Ziegler and Mackenly Randolph hit back-to-back shots to push the lead to 10 and end the threat.
It was the earliest conference opener in Louisville's history.
