Cards womens' sports play three on Sunday -- SUNDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

 WSOC, FIELD HOCKEY AND VOLLEYBALL ALL PLAY ON SUNDAY

It'll be a busy Sunday for you if you like to follow UofL women's sports. 

WSOC is visiting Boston College, Volleyball  hosts Virginia and Field Hockey visits UNC. Let's take a look at the upcoming battles. 

WOMEN'S SOCCER AT BOSTON COLLEGE


The kickin' Cards go northeast to face an Eagles squad that is 4-5-5 overall and 0-4-2 in the ACC. Losses to Pitt, UNC NC ST and Stanford aren't going to get you into post season, either in the ACC Tournament or the NCAA Tournament. 

It's a noon game, available on ACCNX and Louisville arrives after going 1-1-1 in their last three games...10 wins over the Cards on the season so far, with just three losses and one tie. 3-2-1 in the ACC isnt exactly stellar for UofL WSOC, but it means the Cards are 7-1 out of conference. They are, however, 1-3-1 on the road. BC is that bad, though, and Louisville should get the win in Beantown. 

FIELD HOCKEY AT UNC

The Tar Heels are 4-1 at home and the Louisville "stick girls" are 0-2 on the road.  oh, yeah, UNC is ranked #3 in the DI coaches poll..the Cards are 19th but just 6-6 overall. 

You could definitely say that a Cardinals win in Chapel Hill would be a huge upset.


Coach Erin Matson, a pretty fair player "back in the day" and head coach at UNC has instilled in the Heels that same fighting spirit and striving for success that she had. after all, she won the national title at UNC in her first year of coaching...at the tender age of 23. 

There is a good article on Erin if you read Women's Health magazine. You can access it:

 here

It's a noon game as well and can be viewed on ACC Network. 


VOLLEYBALL HOSTS VIRGINIA

13-2 Louisville Volleyball brings in the "Hoos" or Virginia if you will...the serve and spike gals will play this one in the LNFCUA (Louisville and Nashville Federal Credit Union Arena) and draws a 1 p.m. start. 

Virginia is 8-7 on the season overall but only 1-4 in ACC play. The Cavaliers have lost...in conference...to Stanford, California, Boston College and Notre Dame and only beaten syracuse...in five sets. 

it'll be ACCNX for viewing, don't expect to just walk up and gain admission, from what our photographer tells me, it's maybe the hardest seat to get in all of UofL sports. Dan Meske has handled the coaching transition well,,,but...seriously...shouldn't this team being playing in an arena that seats more than 1,000 all the time at home? 


THE CARDINAL COUPLE RADIO HOUR PODCAST

It was Case, Jared and me (Paulie) on the weekly podcast. Daryl was out drowning golf balls somewhere and could not join us. 

A very good podcast, as we covered the three main UofL women's fall sports, Peytona/Waddy (or is it Waddy/Peytona?), visiting in-laws, home improvements. puppies  and other worldly matters. 

OK, maybe not other worldly matters...but it deserves a listen and you can hear it HERE
