Louisville earned a 6-seed in the bottom right region of the bracket and will be matched up against Kentucky. The NCAA does not traditionally pit rivals against each other in the opening round, but seeing as Louisville and Kentucky have not played since 2018. This ws a match game where the Cards relied on a game-winning goal in overtime by Brooklynn Rivers to win 1-0.
Kentucky went 12-4-4 this season and 5-2-3 in SEC play. The Wildcats finished tied for fifth in the conference and fell in the SEC Quarterfinals.
