Louisville lacrosse is quickly approaching the start of the 2025 season. The Cards are two weeks and one day away from their season opener against Denver at the Louisville Lacrosse Stadium.
The expanded ACC this year cuts down on the number of non-conference opponents, but does help maximize the opportunities to get more conference wins. Louisville has never won more than three ACC matches in a season. The Cards will play nine ACC games this year.
Last season, Louisville had its best season of the Scott Teeter era, going 8-11 highlighted by an upset over ranked Clemson. They played eight ranked opponents during the regular season and added another in the ACC Tournament. The Cards also played two of the teams to make the Final Four including eventual national champion Boston College.

The ACC had six teams make the 28-team NCAA Tournament. Add in ACC newcomer Stanford and the ACC has seven teams in the conference this season to make the tournament last year.
Louisville lost its top three scorers to graduation- Kokoro Nakazawa, Nicole Perroni, and Kylea Dobson. The younger Nakazawa sister, Negai, Rian Adkins, Maggie McMahon, Tiffany Natoli, and Izzy Seikel all finished in double figure points (goals and assists combined) and return this season.
Sara Addeche and J Pleck split time in goal with the former seeing a majority of the minutes. Addeche graduated but Pleck returns for her senior season. She is joined by junior Aubrey Bagenstose, sophomore Hanna John, and newcomer Haley Richards. Neither Bagenstose and John played last season.
This year's squad is comprised of 11 freshmen, eight sophomores, eight juniors, eight seniors, and one graduate student. There are two local kids on the squad in graduate student Ashley Osborne (Ballard High School) and freshman Rosie Cobler (Sacred Heart Academy). The most common hometown on the roster is Columbus, Ohio, where three players all played at Upper Arlington High School.
This season features eight home games with all but one set for noon starts. Cardinal Couple plans to have in person coverage at many of the games this year.
Happy Thursday and Go Cards!
