Louisville Volleyball cages Clemson....WKU and Louisville today in WBB -- Saturday Cardinal Couple


CARDS STAY ATOP ACC WITH 3-0 SWEEP OF CLEMSON

Anne Kordes' Louisville Volleyball team improved to 16-1 in the ACC with a straight set sweep of the Clemson Tigers
25-20, 25-24, 25-19 Friday night in the KFC YUM! Center. Erin Fairs had 16 kills for the Cards...who are at 24-5 overall and ranked #17 in the nation.

Anything less than a dominating, straight-set sweep probably would have been disappointing against the cellar-dwellers of the ACC...a team the Cards handled in similar fashion down at Clemson earlier in the season. 

With the win, Louisville holds a one game lead over North Carolina and is two games ahead of Florida State with three games remaining in the regular season. 

Louiasville will face Georgia Tech Sunday at 2 p.m. and it will be senior day ceremonies for the VolleyCards.  Katie George, Roxanne McVey and Erin Fairs will go through pre-game recognition for their contributions to the team.

CARDS VS. TOPPERS TODAY IN BOWLING GREEN

Louisville women's basketball (0-1) looks to get their first win of the season on the road at Western Kentucky this afternoon. The game is scheduled to tip at 3:30 p.m. and is part of a double-header that also features the Western Kentucky men's team facing Stony Brook in the opener. 

The Cards look to improve after an opening season loss in the KFC YUM! Center to California 75-71 last Sunday. The Cards got good efforts out of junior transfer Briahanna Jackson (21 points, six steals) and sophomore Mariya Moore (20 points, six threes) but were outrebounded by the Bears 50-27. 

WKU held a 15-point second period lead over Ball State on the road but couldn't sustain the momentum in the final half...falling 74-70 to those northern Cardinals. Freshman Kayla Smith had 14 points in her debut as a Hilltopper but Nathalie's Fontaine's 30 points led Ball State to the victory. The Toppers were outscored 31-18 in the final 10 minutes.

  1. Tough game with WKU. Have to give them credit. Maybe we're saving our best play for in conference.

  2. I think the women b-ball are going to be ok. Maybe not great this year but not like we have seen. The difference between their 0-2 and 2-0 are some missed open lay ups, some travels, non-pressured turn overs and just can't hit their regular open shots
    It feels more like too much addrenalin - playing a bit frantic. I am not going to get too bothered until conference games begin and we are seeing the same issues. I think Jeff is right at the moment not to be too harsh or too chew anyone up. Think they are trying almost too hard. They need to take a collective breath and they do better - like their greater successes when they run a set play called by Jeff. It will be ok as they are too talented for the errors we are seeing.
