Field Hockey, Cross Country, Volleyball and Women's Soccer Meet the Media
Another sports season begins at UofL and another Fall Sports Media Day, where the coaches and the players answer media questions. Back to the soccer meeting room for the 2022 "Meet and Greet" and I was glad to be back in the facility this year. A balky, stubborn train parked on Floyd Street ruined any plans I had in getting there early, so... a last-minute "turn-around" and approach to Lynn Stadium in a southward direction down Floyd Street instead of north got me in the lot at 10:59 for the 11:00 presser.
There was actually a spot to park at the facility -- a rarity anymore, so I maneuvered in it and walked toward the complex. Field Hockey and Softball S.I.D. Lori Harmon was waiting outside for me and mentioned that she had saved me a spot, as well. This old man's legs are really appreciative of the thoughtfulness of Lori and the other UofL SID's
Louisville Field Hockey was the first squad to address the media and answer questions. Coach Justine Sowry was flanked by seniors Mattie Tabor and Julie Kouijzer at the teams' table. I've found over the years that the best way to cover these in an article is just to just put the link up where you can hear it -- instead of making a lot of observations and comments on it.

Cross Country went next and since Dale Cowper coaches both the men and women's squads, there was a representative for each squad at the podium table with him. Sophomore Lexie Paszkiewic represented the womens' squad student-athletes.

Volleyball was the next Fall sport to be heard from and Dani Busboom Kelly had sophomore Elena Scott and senior Amaya Tillman with her to answer questions.

Women's Soccer was the last group to address the media and Coach Karen Ferguson Dayes had redshirt senior Ravin Alexander and grad student Sarah Hernandez. Since WSOC is the only sport that was there who hs actually already had a competition so far this fall, it was good to here the coach and players observations on how the team looked and performed.

Men's soccer was also there and, although we don't cover them -- here's a little bonus for you with their segment:

A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE COACHES, PLAYERS, SID'S, STAFFERS AND INTERNS WHO HELPED PUTTING THE FALL SPORTS MEDIADAY TOGETHER !
JUST A REMINDER,,,
Louisville Women's Soccer gets their regular season started tonight with a 7:30 p.m. match against UIC in Lynn Stadium. It's free admission to soccer this season and the action is fun, fast-paced and full of energy, so "c'mon in for a win in Lynn"

Hello Friends !
ReplyDeleteArthur Here!
Great comments by all! I heard you asking questions Paulie and that guy who does some of the ACC Network Extra broadcasts asking question Jonesie or Jody or something like that? Who else was there? And, why aren't you doing ACC broadcasts, Paulie?

Hey Arthur!
DeleteTom Lane (from WDRB TV) was there and asked one. The Volleyball SID Nancy Worley asked her coach one (about playing in the KFC YUM! Center). Some blonde chick I didn't recognize asked Field Hockey's Justine Sowry a question and left with the team when they were done.
LOL Arthur -- It is Jody. But I like Jonesie ! I may start using that...
