LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Bria Smith scored a career-high 21 points and Sara Hammond had 17 points and 13 rebounds to help No. 10 Louisville rout DePaul 81-55 on Sunday.

It was the fifth double-double for Hammond this season.
The Cardinals (21-5, 9-3 Big East) held DePaul to season-low 25 percent shooting (16 of 65) and dominated inside with a 50-10 advantage on points in the paint.
