WSOC HOSTS WAKE FOREST TONIGHT

The #19 ranked and 9-1 Louisville women's soccer team heads to the Lynn Stadium pitch tonight to take on ACC foe Wake Forest tonight.  Game time is 7 p.m. and it will be shown on the ACC Network.

The Cards return home after a couple of ACC .road wins against Syracuse and Boston College. Louisville is tied for second in the conference standings with Clemson. Both are 2-1 in ACC competition. Florida State and North Carolina are tied for first with perfect 3-0 marks in ACC play

Wake Forest comes to Floyd Street without a win in their last five games. A streak that they're looking to shake. The Demon Deacons are 5-3-3 on the season and 0-1-2 in ACC games. 

The Cards look to duplicate or better last year's 2-1 win over WFU in Winston-Salem last year. Overall, the Deacs hold a 3-1 all-time series lead against Karen Ferguson Dayes and her kickin' Cards. 


SOFTBALL SUCCESS

We often talk about the term "student-athlete". Here's a shining example of that . 

The University of Louisville softball team earned Easton/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) National Academic Team honors for the 2018-19 season as announced by the organization Wednesday.

Louisville was one of 140 Division I programs recognized after posting a 3.157 team grade point average during academic year.

Additionally, five student-athletes were named Easton/NFCA All-America Scholar-Athletes after achieving a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher. The following players represented Louisville on the list: Rebecca Chung, Celene Funke, Megan Hensley, Sidney Melton and Paige Schindler. 

Keep it up in the classroom, Cards!


Have a tremendous Thursday!
