Field Hockey Announces Three Signees
Paulina Mayer joins the Cards from Manheim, Germany.
Charlie Van Oirschot hails from Haarlem, The Netherlands.
Aimee Plumb, comes to Louisville from Canterbury, England.
Cardinal Couple will reach out to see if we can hear from Justine Sowry in the next few days regarding the three commits.
Field Hockey posted a 16-6 record in 2019 and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Maybe, maybe not.
More like a team that wears Red and Black.
Let's not forget that UofL WBB defeated Oregon, on a neutral court, 72-62 to win the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands. Louisville won the regular season ACC Title and Kylee Shook went for 18 points and 15 rebounds against the Ducks. Dana Evans delivered two huge, three-point daggers against the Oregon defense and had 17 points and six assists.
What's your thoughts?
Welcome to May
It is the first day of May, in case social quarantining has you a bit nebulous and confused as to the who, what, where, when and why's of daily life.A Friday, and a huge day here in the city of Louisville, as the Kentucky Oaks would have been run at Churchill Downs. The first Friday in May is the second most attended day of the year at Churchill Downs...in normal times...and features the best three-year-old fillies in the world "running for the lilies".
It's also Breast Cancer Survivor Day and those brave individuals/survivors of this terrible disease would normally be honored at the track with a walk down the stretch -- as a predominately pink-dress crowd gives them some love and encouragement as they parade in front of the gtandstands and clubhouse.
Happy Friday, Happy Original Oaks Day, stay safe, and Go Cards!

Great recap on Louie's and it looks like FH is reloading.
ReplyDeleteWe would have gotten to the final game of the NCAA Tournament but I don't know if the Cards could have knocked off a very strong and talented South Carolina squad.
