THE HUNTER NORTON ERA GETS UNDERWAY AGAINST NEBRASKA
The 2026 Louisville Women' Soccer season brings on a new head coach for the Kickin' Cards...in Hunter Norton...but he is far from "new" to UofL or women's soccer on campus.
Norton served as an assistant coach to Karen Ferguson Dayes for 12 years and spent his collegiate playing days at Georgia Southern. Bonus points to you this morning if you know what town Georgia Southern is based? Answer at the end of today's article.
He takes the reigns after UofL's very successful 2025 season where they went 13-5-3 and 10-0-2 at Lynn Stadium on campus.
The 2026 season begins with a visit from Nebraska on Wednesday, Aug.12th. The Lady Huskers went 8-5-5 in 2025 and 3-5-3 in the Big 10. After hosting them, IU Indy visits on Sunday, Aug. 16th. It'll be the first time the Cards have played either school in women's soccer.
Returning for the Cards are impact players Ella Bard, Grace Maddox, Kate Kantu on defense, along with goalkeeper Brielle Baker and midfielder Betsy Huckabee.
The Cards begin ACC play Sept 12th. vs Pitt at Lynn Stadium and will take part in 10 ACC matches, including a trip to the west coast to face Stanford and California. I still chuckle at the Atlantic conference having two schools that sit on the Pacific Ocean.
We'll keep you up on all the ACC WSOC and UofL WSOC news as it happens here at Cardinal Couple.
(Answer to today's question...Statesboro, GA.)
