Saturday Cardinal Couple - Field Hockey goes to Carolina

Louisville Field Hockey starts the spring exhibition season in the place James
Taylor wants to be in the song above.

Carolina

The Cards will have 3 games in two days. They'll face North Carolina, Duke
and Wake Forest. All are, of course, future ACC opponents...so it'll give head coach
Justine Sowry a preliminary look at what lies ahead for her 2014 Field Hockey
Squad.

Duke was the national runner up in the NCAA Toruney and is coached by Sowry's
former boss and ex UofL Coach Pam Bustin. They went 17-7
last year and finished ranked fifth in the nation. The Tar Heels were #3 in the final
national rankings and posted a 18-6 record. Wake Forest was 12-9 and ended up
#13 in the final poll.

Louisville had a 15-5 2013 season, going 10-0 at home. They were placed #15
in the final rankings. 

Coach Sowry is ready to go:


"We are excited on many different fronts. We are finally able to play full field
in good conditions after a challenging spring weather-wise and we get an opportunity
to play against quality opponents that we will face in the fall. It will be tough playing
three games in two days, but it will give us an indication on what our strengths are
and where we need to focus our energy moving forward."
