Louisville Cardinals at NC State Wolfpack
· NCAA Women's Basketball
Berry helps Louisville rally from 13-point deficit to beat North Carolina State 88-80 in overtime
Skylar Jones’ 17 points helped carry the Cardinals (18-3, 8-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who went from trailing by 13 to leading 54-51 in a span of less than 4½ minutes bridging the third and fourth quarters.
Mackenly Randoph scored four of her 12 points in overtime. Berry, who had a game-high 12 rebounds, made two free throws with 10.5 seconds left for the final points of regulation.
Khamil Pierre scored five of her season-high 26 points in the final two minutes of regulation, but N.C. State (13-6, 6-2) couldn’t overcome mishaps down the stretch. Zamareya Jones added 20 points, including a key 3-pointer in the fourth quarter after returning to action wearing protective mask, and Zoe Brooks had 17 points for the Wolfpack (14-5, 7-1).
Louisville followed Thursday’s victory at No. 23 Notre Dame by ending a six-game losing skid in the series with N.C. State.
A 14-2 spurt in the third quarter stretched the Wolfpack’s edge to 47-34. Berry scored the last eight points of the third in a 53-second span as the Cardinals pulled within 50-47. Louisville went ahead with the first five points of the fourth.
Skylar Jones scored the first five points of a 7-0 spurt that lifted Louisville to a 64-58 lead before the Wolfpack rallied.
Louisville missed all seven of its first-half 3-point shots, but had 10 offensive rebounds. N.C. State went scoreless for more than five minutes late in the first half, yet led 33-28 at the break.
The Wolfpack was looking for its first victory against a ranked opponent while being unranked since a win over No. 2 Connecticut in 2023.
N.C. State: At Virginia next Sunday.
