One Month to Go -- SATURDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

All Fall Sports in Action Soon


As the calendar gets ready to turn to August next week (which feels incredibly soon), that means that all of the primary fall sports that we cover here at Cardinal Couple will be in action within a month. While we are still a few days out of that being true for actual "competition," every team has a scheduled event by August 23rd.

Women's soccer will be the first to get underway, with matches on the road at Auburn and Vandy. As is typical, Louisville is likely to play a couple of closed scrimmages before those matches against SEC teams, but we're very unlikely to learn anything other than the fact that they happened. Karen Ferguson-Dayes's squad will actually return to Lynn Stadium for their first home game before the other two sports play their first scheduled matches, as the Cards take on Detroit Mercy on August 21st. 

That will be a busy weekend, as volleyball and field hockey will get started then as well. Field hockey will host their first scrimmage against Bellarmine on the 22nd and we'll get our first taste of fall volleyball under Dan Meske on August 23rd for the Alumni Match. 

So far I've held off on giving my full prediction of the Louisville women's soccer season in writing, even though I've discussed it at length on the show. I'll keep milling on it for another week, but you can expect my thoughts about the upcoming campaign as we turn the calendar. 

As the summer slump finally winds down, we'll be keeping our eye out for the Louisville Fall Sports Media Day, where we'll get to hear from all of the coaches about their thoughts on their teams entering the season. Once we hear it, we'll be sure to share those thoughts with you here at Cardinal Couple. All three teams have some reasons to be optimistic, so we'll see just how chipper the coaches are at the event.

We'll have three this week (really, this time), as Paulie, Daryl, and I will bring you the joy and excitement of Louisville women's athletics. We'll talk about the news that was over the past week, as there is only so much prognostication we can do about the upcoming fall sports seasons. Check out the show after it posts around 1PM, and be sure to subscribe so that it comes to your feed automatically.

  1. We will look for Field Hockey to rebound. Their 2024 season was nothing to brag about at 6-11 overall and 1-7 in the ACC.
