SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Angel McCoughtry scored 13 points and had two key steals in the final 3 minutes to help No. 7 Louisville hold off Utah, 59-48 on Tuesday night.
Denise Byrd led the Cardinals with 17 points and Candice Bingham added 12 as Louisville (4-0) stayed unbeaten.
Morgan Warburton, who played the last 16 minutes with four fouls, had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Utes. Warburton's free throw with 3:29 to play trimmed the lead to 52-48, but Utah came up empty on its next two possessions as McCoughtry had a pair of steals.
The Cardinals made 7-of-8 free throws down the stretch to seal the win in their first ever game at Utah (2-2). The only other meeting between the teams was in the first round of the 1998 NCAA tournament, which the Cardinals won, 69-61.
McCoughtry faced intense defensive pressure from the Utes. She was just 3-of-14 from the field, but had five steals and two blocks to foil the Utes' upset bid.
Louisville's trap forced the Utes into 23 turnovers and 34.8 percent shooting.
The last time Utah faced an opponent ranked in the Top 10 was Nov. 18, 2007, when the Utes fell in double-overtime to No. 5 Stanford, 81-77.
The Cardinals, who are in the midst of a five-game road stretch, scored 17 points off Utah turnovers to help overcome 1-of-12 shooting from beyond the 3-point line.
After the Utes jumped out to an 8-2 lead, the Cardinals forced eight turnovers in a five-minute period and took a 12-8 advantage. The lead see-sawed back and forth until the Cardinals scored the last seven points of the half for a 31-23 advantage at the break. Warburton sat during the run with three fouls.
Louisville built its lead to as many as 11 midway through the second half, but couldn't shake Utah until the final minutes.
