Durr, one of three Cardinals named to the Preseason All-Atlantic Coast Conference Team, had 15 first-half points as her team took a 36-27 lead into the intermission. But, the sophomore exploded in the third quarter, hitting three three-point field goals in the first minute of the period to give her team a 20-point lead. Durr would go on to score the first 13 points of the quarter, and she wound up with 19 points in the period and 34 for the game.
Durr, who came to Louisville as the top-rated recruit in her class and won Parade Magazine's High School Player of the Year award in 2015, went 12-of-18 from the field, including 8-of-13 from beyond the arc. Myisha Hines-Allen, the ACC's Preseason Player of the Year and an honorable-mention All-American a year ago, joined Durr in double digits with 13 points.
For the Falcons, freshman Clare Glowniak scored 11 points off the bench for the first double-digit effort of her young career. Junior Rachel Myers and freshman Caterrion Thompson added nine points apiece, while sophomore Sydney Lambert scored seven.
BGSU held a 40-39 rebounding advantage in the contest. Sophomore Carly Santoro and freshman Jane Uecker tied for game honors with seven boards, with five of Uecker's rebounds coming at the offensive end of the court.
Before a crowd of over 8,100 fans, all 12 players on the BGSU active roster played at least 10 minutes in Saturday's contest. Eleven of those 12 Falcons scored at least two points, while all 12 players had at least one rebound.
Both teams went 9-of-24 from three-point range in the contest. Eight different Falcons made at least one triple in the game, with Thompson the lone BG player to connect more than once from beyond the arc. She was 2-for-3 from long distance.
Durr, not surprisingly, got the game's scoring started with a layup, but Lambert came right back with a bucket. The hosts scored the next four points, but Santoro knocked down a second-chance triple try after Myers followed her own miss, grabbed the rebound and spotted an open Santoro beyond the arc. The sophomore's three-ball cut UofL's lead to 6-5.
The hosts extended that lead to seven points on back-to-back treys, but Santoro drove the baseline and kicked the ball to junior Haley Puk for a three-pointer from the left wing, cutting the hosts' lead to 12-8. Another 6-0 surge by the home team made it a 10-point game, but Myers answered with a pull-up J, and Lambert took a pass from senior Ashley Tunstall and drained a three-pointer to get BG within five, at 18-13.
Again, the home team answered, with buckets by Kylie Shook and Jazmine Jones in the final minute of the period. But, Thompson knocked down a three-point try, and the Falcons forced a miss from Mariya Moore as the quarter came to a close. BG trailed, 22-16, after one period.
The Falcons held Moore, UofL's third member of the Preseason All-ACC Team, to just three points on 1-of-9 shooting on the day.
Neither team would score for over three minutes to start the second quarter. The Cardinals were not assessed any personal fouls in the first quarter, but after the team's first foul of the game at the 6:50 mark of the second period, the Louisville bench was given a technical foul, and Santoro split a pair of shots from the stripe.
Uecker hit a jumper with just over four minutes left before halftime, but a three-point play followed by a jumper gave the home side a 31-19 lead. But, Thompson knocked down her second trey of the day, and Lambert grabbed a defensive rebound, went coast-to-coast and found Tunstall for a layup to cut the BG deficit to seven.
Durr connected from long range, but Lambert responded with a jumper. Durr scored in the paint with 1:45 left in the quarter, for a 36-26 Louisville lead, but Uecker was fouled on a drive and split a pair of charity tosses with 29 seconds to go. BG got a stop, but a long three-point try that would have cut the lead to six bounced off of the rim as the horn sounded.
Durr, however, put the game away in the third period. She went 6-for-6 in the first 2:21 of the period, with four long-range shots during that span. The final shot gave the home team a 52-29 lead.
Myers took an Abby Siefker pass and knocked down a left-wing three-ball at the 6:38 mark, and after Hines-Allen split a pair of shots from the stripe, a Myers pull-up jumper cut the deficit to 21. But, Durr hit yet another long-range try, giving the Cards a 58-34 lead.
Glowniak scored nine points in the third period, beginning with four-straight free throws. Then, on a possession which saw BGSU pull down three offensive rebounds, the freshman hit a fourth-chance layup. Lamber drove inside, drew a triple team and kicked the ball to Glowniak for a three-pointer late in the quarter, and the Falcons forced Briahanna Jackson into a missed shot to end the period. But, UofL held a 67-43 lead.
In the fourth quarter, Glowniak knocked down two more free throws to complete a perfect 6-for-6 day from the stripe. Senior Rachel Konieczki hit a straightaway trey two-and-a-half minutes into the period, and on the next BG possession, Konieczki fed freshman Andrea Cecil for another triple.
Siefker backed her defender down for a layup just over halfway through the period, then hit an up-and-under layup with 2:36 to go. After a Glowniak steal, Thompson capped the Falcons' scoring with a driving 'and-one' layup in transition, and the freshman completed the three-point play with 48 seconds remaining.
Paced by Glowniak, the Falcons went 11-for-13 (84.6 percent) at the free-throw line. Louisville was just 4-of-6 from the stripe.
The Falcons will return to the KFC Yum! Center on Sunday (Nov. 20), taking on Chattanooga in a 2:00 p.m. start. Chattanooga defeated Lafayette, 68-43, in Saturday's first game. BGSU then concludes weekend play in Louisville with a Monday (Nov. 21) contest vs. Lafayette.
