WSOC fall to Xavier 2-1 -- FH and VB open season on the road; FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

FRIDAYS WITH DARYL

Hello all and hello weekend.  I hope everyone has had a happy and healthy week. 
The Cardinal Calendar is starting to overlap so let's jump right into the coverage. 


WOMENS SOCCER



The Musketeers came from behind to beat the Cards 2-1 at Lynn Stadium Thursday evening handing UofL its first loss of the season.  Maisie Whitsett lead the team with 4 shots on the evening scoring the lone goal for Louisville in the 24th minute of the match.  Erynn Floyd played all 90 minutes on goal for the Cards with 4 saves and 2 goals allowed.  The Cards out shot Xavier 12-9, however, the Musketeers found the back of the net in the 51st and 75th minute. 



Jared let us know that they decided not to do a post game interview with the team. This is common after a Louisville loss.
