!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( Staff columnist extraordinaire Jenny O'Bryan takes us on a Sunday spin reviewing the busy Saturday the UofL women's athletic squads had. Although it isn't mentioned here...we'd also like to congratulate UofL football for squeaking by FIU 72-0. )
There was a plethora of women’s athletic activities, mostly
away from the friendly confines of Louisville Athletics facilities. Hopefully readers were able to catch some of
the action.
The golf team has been in Knoxville at The Mercedes Benz
Championship. As Paulie reported
yesterday the team finished the day on Friday in 3rd place, and they
will start the day on Sunday in the same spot.
Heavy rain in Knoxville cancelled the activities for the day and the
tournament has been reduced to 36 holes.
The final round of 18 holes will be played on Sunday, weather
permitting.

The rowing team was away from campus in Bloomington with an
opening scrimmage against The
varsity only event kicked off the season for the rowers. Lake Lemon in Bloomington proved to be a sour
opener for the Hoosiers. The Louisville
rowers swept the day winning all pieces on the day. The
event was a series of “controlled rate pieces” between 5-8 minutes each. Coach Peterson, of the Hoosiers, said that the “Louisville team has more experience and it showed today, and simply “out pulled” the Hoosiers”. Congrats to the team for winning the day.

The soccer team travelled to Marquette to face the Golden
Eagles and avenge last years 2-0 loss.
The Golden Eagles own a significant advantage in the series,
15-6-1.
The team took to the field and went in to halftime with
goose eggs on the board.
With just 8 minutes in to the second half Marquette took the
lead sending one in to the back of the net.
Five minutes later they found the back of the net again with 32 minutes
left, bringing the game to 2-0 in Marquette’s favor. Not backing down from a challenge, tho, the
Cardinals finally got on the board with 10 minutes left in regulation when
Corral scored. Whitfield scored 7
minutes later, 3 minutes left in the game, tying the game.
In what is becoming a
very familiar scenario for the kickin’ Cards they headed into overtime. They held each other scoreless for the first
10 minute overtime and headed into their second overtime. The
Cardinals fell short in the second overtime dropping the contest when the
Golden Eagles connected on a penalty kick.
As of this writing (late Saturday night) all my information
came from twitter updates from @ulwomenssoccer.
You can check the Louisville Athletic website for a better recap of the
game likely as you read this. It was a
great effort for our Soccer Cards and they fell just a bit short.
The Cardinals take to the field again next Friday, Sept. 27
at home in Cardinal Park to open
conference play against Memphis at 7:00 p.m.

The VolleyCards were the only team in action at home. In what has been a long time coming, the
Cards opened for the first time this season at Cardinal Arena in the Active
Ankle Challenge.

Looking to get back in the win column, after a brutal road
test that had the Cards with a 2-6 record, they did not disappoint.
The Cardinals started the match in an evenly contested,
tight, first set. The VolleyCards pulled
the set out 25-23. The second set saw
the Cardinals in full control, completely keeping the Rice Owls out of system,
winning the set 25-15. The third and
final set had the Cardinals close, before an 8-1 run put them up for good. Rice attempted a comeback and came within
3, before the Cardinals pulled away and finished the match 25-15. The VolleyCards won in 3! In what has been a tough early season the win
at home has to be a bright spot for the team.
Brooke Mattingly led all players with 9 kills and 4 blocks and was said
to be “unstoppable offensively”.
The Cardinals took to the court again at 7:00 pm to close
out the Active Ankle Challenge. As of
this writing they were all knotted up at 2-2, heading into a 5th and
decisive final set. Look for a complete recap of the event here:
(my apologies for not being able to give the final
score. A busy day of working the football game has this
writer as one tired puppy!)
EDITOR'S NOTE...LOUISVILLE WON THE MATCH AGAINST VA.TECH in 5 GAMES.
