MIKE PALLISTER JOINS JUSTINE SOWRY'S COACHING STAFF
In the offseason and summer break for sports at most DI schools, it is not too unusual to see coaching adjustments, additions and changes on staffs. The term "coaching carousel" isn't too inappropriate, and, we have found out that Louisville field Hockey is picking up a new assistant coach to join Justine Sowry's staff in Mike Paliister.
Sowry's squad had a rough ending to the 2024 season, finishing 6-11, going 1-7 in ACC play and losing eight of their final nine games. Mind you, these weren't blowouts, seven of those losses were by a mere one goal.
Maybe with that in mind, Sowry brought in a coach with a long and colorful history of success. Pallister was at Princeton from 2011-18, where he helped lead the Tigers to eight NCAA tournament apperances. When Pallister was at Long Island last season, his squad had a three game winning streak where they scored 14 goals. He spent two years at LIU, coming in from Syracuse, where he was an assistant.
Pallister also coached his squad to a 3-0 win over Bellarmine last year. His squad in 2024 scored 34 goals in 17 games,. Pallister replaces Will Holt, who leaves the Cards for Maryland.
To see Louisville Field Hockey under .500 and with just one conference win is a very sad situation. We hope things can be turned around.
We welcome Mike to Cardinals Field Hockey and hope he has a successful stay here with UofL.
