FIELD HOCKEY BLANKS JMU 5-0
The Louisville Field Hockey team roared back from Friday's 5-0 loss to UNC by creating a shutout of their own on Sunday...5-0 over #19 James Madison in Chapel Hill.
It was something head coach Justine Sowry was glad to see:
"I'm very pleased with the bounce-back performance after Friday night. JMU started stronger than us and put us on our heels. As the game wore one we gained more confidence and started to play some great hockey."
The #9th ranked Cards began the scoring in the 11th minute when Vic Stratton connected on a penalty corner. Ten minutes later Stephanie Byrne got her team-leading fifth goal of the season off a nice feed from Abby Grimes. The 2-0 lead held to the half.

Louisville outshot the Dukes 22-13 for their fourth shutout of the season.
The Cards (6-2) return home to face Wake Forest Friday night.

SOCCER FALLS 2-0 TO BOSTON COLLEGE
The Eagles scored both goals in the first half...including one with just five second left in the first half to send Louisville to 3-4-1 on the season and 0-1-0 in ACC Play. Taylor Bucklin drew the start for Louisville at goalie and had seven saves...the Eagles outshot Louisville 9-4 in shots on goals and 19-9 in shots.
The Cards take only their second shutout of the season as Karen Ferguson-Dayes continues to try and find a forward/scoring combination that can produce points.
Louisville will host Miami on Thursday night.

VOLLEYBALL FALLS IN FOUR TO CATS

Maggie DeJong's block in overtime gave Louisville the first game win in a contest where Louisville come from a 12-7 deficit to take a 18-15 lead...only to see UK at match point before a service error took the game to extra points. Erin Fairs had eight kills in the first game...the Cards hit for .256 against UK.
The UofL fortunes changed after that..UK blocking and a slow start for the Cards offense put Louisville behind 12-6 and then 20-13 in a game where Louisville dropped to .103 hitting in a 18-25 loss.
After the break, UK's Kaz Brown and Darius Mack kept the block party going in game three and five Cardinal serving errors were too much to overcome. UK scored five of the final seven points of the game to go up 2-1 on the Cards with the 25-20 win.
UofL led for most of the final game before a late 5-1 UK run overcame a 22-20 Cardinal lead to give UK their seventh win of the season.

A tough loss for Louisville in a contest where the Cards couldn't seem to overcome UK's front line height advantage or the play of senior setter Morgan Bergen.
The Cards will travel to Notre Dame next for a Friday match
