It’s a quiet day in the ‘Ville. After a disappointing loss at Syracuse Monday night, the basketball Cards returns home for some rest, classes and practice before heading to Hartford for the Big East Tournament.
In the meantime, the fields were quiet on Tuesday, too. Next up for Louisville Women’s Athletics is
lacrosse. Lacrosse hopes to return to
their winning ways as they take to the field on Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. at U of
L Lacrosse Stadium.
The Cardinals had a brief encounter with national rankings
last week checking in at #20. After the
first loss on the season against Denver, the Cards fell out of the rankings
this week, but are still receiving votes.
Denver, the lone loss for the Cards, also unranked, received votes in
this week’s poll.
The Cardinals return home to face Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt is 1-5 on the season with two top
10 losses to Duke and last years Champions, Northwestern. Vanderbilt leads the series against the
Cards, 2-1, with their most recent win over the Cards coming last season in a close
match where the Cardinals fell 15-12.
Looking to redeem
that loss, no doubt, the Cardinals will need to put their 6th ranked
defense to work. The Commodores are
ranked 10th in overall goals and have two senior standouts in
attacker Carly Linthicum and goalkeeper Chelsea Pasfield.
The two are ranked 2nd and 1st,
respectively, in their specialty on the field.
Cardinals will have their work cut out for them.
If you are like me and are working during the match today,
you can watch for free online at CardsTV at www.gocards.com. The game will also be broadcast statewide on
WHAS Channel 11.2, Insight 432, or Comcast 207.

Nice win for Lacrosse today in bitterly cold conditions. Up 7-1 at one point, the Commodores came back and made a game of it. Lacrosse now 4-1 on the season.
