Sometimes we go from feast to famine in terms of news to report about UofL women's athletics here at CARDINAL COUPLE. Today...it's an all-you-can-eat buffet in terms of events that happened on Sunday.
KATIE GEORGE FINISHES 11TH. IN MISS USA PAGEANT
George made the final 15 but was knocked out of the competition after the swimsuit competition. Voters took to the Internet to save her, however...and the social media and online voting got her back into the mix...boosting her into the 11th. and final spot in the next round.

Still, a great effort by the Louisville senior and overwhelming support for her on-line. A lot to be proud of in her representation of Kentucky in the pageant.

Saw that Garcia from RI came in third. Shame about George not getting top 5 but still very proud of her.
ReplyDeleteSeeing that Louisville might be in for some weather issues today. Stay safe Paulie and Cardinal Couple readers in the 'Ville area!

Mariya Moore 1-6 on 3 pointers. Her game is not a "go to" scorer. It's doing everything else to help you win. Wish we had one of those but there aren't many of them in the college ranks.
