Kouzelos Named Top 10 Goalkeeper
She is one of three ACC goalkeepers to make the Top 10 list, joining Laurel Ivory from Virginia and Claudia Dickey from North Carolina.
Kouzelos led the Cards to a 13-5-2 record last season that featured a second round appearance in the NCAA Tournament. She recorded a career-high 51 saves and recording 10 shutouts while posting an incredible 0.87 goals against average- ranking second all-time in program history.
"She may not have the stereotypical goalkeeper frame, but she makes up for any concerns there with good positioning and sharp shot-stopping reflexes. Unafraid to come off her line and stand up strong, she's one of the more underrated goalkeepers in DI women's soccer. After the 2019 season she earned All-ACC Second Team honors. In her three seasons with the Cardinal[s], she's played every single game when healthy." -Top Drawer Soccer.
We at Cardinal Couple are familiar with Gabby. She's always been a fun interviewee, providing plenty of insight while also being able to handle Paulie's witty humor. Below, a link with "the Gabs" after a win over Clemson.

On the pitch, Kouzelos can often be heard as the loudest voice. She commands the team with assertion and will often find herself near midfield to help coach on offense.
One of the many reasons we will see a highly successful 2020 season, for the few matches that they can play, is because of Kouzelos' leadership and skills.
WNBA: Mystics Down Dream
"Doo-blay" went for 23 points, and was 10-14 from the floor! She also nailed three-three pointers. Myisha came into the game with just six "makes" from beyond the arc for the season.
Washington led 78-63 going into the fourth quarter and was able to hold off a late Atlanta run to improve to 4-7. The win broke the Mystics seven-game losing streak.
Also huge for the Mystics was rookie Stella Johnson. The Rider U. graduate had 25 points and hit six three-pointers for Washington in the first start of her career. I expect she'probably won herself a starting role with that performance.
Katy is Here!
I'll help her move onto Louisville Presbyterian Seminary's campus bright and early today and will no longer worry about the long trips to Florida State or her home in South Carolina.
Although Katy is a bit camera shy I'm sure I can get her to pop on Skype to say a few words Saturday Saturday morning.
Continue to stay safe and healthy, everyone!
Happy Thursday and Go Cards!
