Louisville, Ky. — Caroline Doty led No. 3 UConn with 15 points and the Huskies' defense helped hold off No. 20 Louisville 56-46 Tuesday night.

Doty, scoreless in her last game against Rutgers, made 5 of 11 on 3-point attempts. Tiffany Hayes added nine points and 11 rebounds before fouling out for UConn (22-2, 10-1 Big East).

Shoni Schimmel led Louisville (17-7, 6-5) with 20 points and eight rebounds. Sara Hammond added 10 points, eight of which came in the second half.

The Huskies held Louisville to just two field goals in the final 12 minutes of the first half and led 33-17 at the break.

Louisville cut the Huskies' lead to 46-40, but Bria Hartley made a 3-pointer from the left corner.
