#4 CARDS GO TO 6-1
i was ready to start today's article with the sentence "Cards knock off UNI" but then thought it sounds like "you and I" have played the Volleyball and so, I thought i might talk about the two CC's
Mind you, this is not about the Cardinal Couple's (sometime referred to as C.C.) two major forms of communication (internet articles and podcasts) but a shorten reference to Cara Cresse and Chloe Chicoine who led Louisville Volleyball with 13 kills each in their Saturday night win over The University of Northern Iowa in Omaha, Neb. at the Bluejay Invitational.
Setter Navelis Cabello had 42 assist and 15 digs for the Cards and Louisville held UNI to .167 hitting.
The match was also contest between the two Petersen sisters, Payton (UofL) and Jayden (UNI). Keeping it a family affair, their mom (Bobbi). Bobbi has done pretty well as a Volleyball head coach, amassing a record of 583-209. She also played at UNI.
SET 1
Louisville took control early at 14-9 and was able to stretch that to 19-12, and despite three UNI blocks late in the game, was able to win the first set 25-18.
SET 2
The Cards flew out to an early 7-4 lead, but UNI rallied and got back to an 8-8 tie. The Panthers led 11-10 before Louisville went up 15-13. UNI would not say die, though, and tied it agains at 15-15. The regained the lead at 21-20..but after a Cards time out, the Birds finished the set with a 5-3 advantage and took Set Two 25-23
SET 3
This set was a close one the majority of the way with ties at 10-10, 13-13 and 19-19. UNI grabbed a 22-19 lead, though...and ended up winning 25-21.
SET 4
Louisville established a large 9-5 lead early on a 5-1 run, and pushed that out to a 15-10 edge. The Cards went to a 23-16 lead before taking game and match 25-17.
The Cards will have Rice for their next opponent (and we don' t mean Uncle Ben, Minute Rice, A Roni or that boil-in-the-bag stuff) today at noon. This one is also in Omaha as a part of the Bluejay Invitational. It's a 1 p.m. affair and will be shown live on YouTube. I've not tried watching a Louisville Volleyball event before on YouTube, so we'll see how that goes.

It looks to be busy day for UofL women's sports today, with Field Hockey and Womens Soccer also in action.
Have a great Sunday
