  "account": "Louisville's seventh-ranked Cardinals defeated Stetson 87-35, capitalizing on 30 turnovers by the Hatters. Imari Berry contributed 16 points, while Taijanna Roberts added 14, both in double figures for the Cardinals (2-0). Louisville had difficulty scoring early, missing their first six shots and converting just 2 of 10 attempts in the second quarter. The score was 20-40 until Roberts' three-pointer with 19 seconds left, extending the lead to 40-20. Despite a 35.5% field goal percentage and 12 turnovers of their own in the first half, Louisville's offense improved in the second half, going on a 28-2 run that included 12 of 13 shots. Ariyana Cradle led the team with five steals. Amiya Joyner, who transferred from LSU, had nine points and 14 rebounds, her highest since 22 points and 20 rebounds with East Carolina. Stetson, who lost their top five scorers from last season's 20-win team, shot poorly (23.6% from the field). The Cardinals will face Southern Indiana on Sunday, while Stetton travels to Miami on the same day.",
