GoooooooOOd morning readers and welcome to another weekend. It's GAMEDAY for football fans so I am EXTRA excited to get off work today and take the walk down Floyd Street to get some tailgate time in and hope the weather cooperates. Today is also EXTRA special because it is Thomas' and I's 10 year dating anniversary.

It was another shot party for the Cardinals over at Lynn Stadium on Thursday evening as they move to 6-1 on the season and are now on a current 5 game winning streak.  


throwback to the LMFAO song from 2009


Jared made it out to the park and Katy and Bentley joined for the second half for Pups at the Pitch night. That means Bentley got to see a total of 3 UofL goals including two of them coming from Amelia Swinarski, who had a hat trick in the match against the Golden Flashes. I hope there weren't any golden flashes from Bentley in excitement out on the pitch! 


Jared and Katy's puppy Bentley!


Louisville netted its first goal in the first 10 minutes of play on a Karsyn Cherry penalty kick. After that the Cardinal offense put together a string of 3 more goals in the following 10 minutes when Betsy Huckaby (11:24) Swinarski (13:11) and Liza Suydam (19:15) each put one on the board. Huckaby's was a result of a penalty kick that was saved by the Kent State keeper, but Huckaby followed her shot off the rebound and tapped it in.


Suydam would also score in the 67th minute of the match. As a team, UofL had 33 shots, split pretty evenly between halves and 16 of them on goal. Kent State received a red card just before halftime in the 41st minute and had to play the remainder of the match down a player. Mackenzie Geigle added to her scoring campaign when she put UofL ahead 5-0 heading into the break.

The Cards added the final trio of goals in the second half. Swinarski's big hat trick moment came with about 63 seconds left in the match. After going up 8-0, Coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes called off the dogs.  

On defense, the Cards split goalkeeping duties between Erynn Floyd and Brielle Baker with each getting a shot to stand there and enjoy the fresh air... KSU managed just 3 shots on the evenings none of them on goal.

Jared was out there representing Cardinal Couple and got a chance to talk to Amelia Swinarski following the match. The hat trick is the first by a Louisville player since 2018. You can watch that here.


The Cards continue to lead the country in goals and assists.
