TEETER TALKS! THE INTERVIEW:
Believe it or not, the Louisville Lacrosse squad is less than two months away from starting their 2019 season. It's a schedule that will present challenges for Scott Teeter, his coaching staff and the Louisville lacrosse roster...but the second year coach is ready to take on the opponents.
With the recent release of the 2019 schedule, Paulie decided to visit with Coach Teeter and get a pre-season look at who the Cards will play, who is new on the roster and who returns for the Lax squad. Coach was gracious in spending some time with Cardinal Couple to discuss, preview and comment on what is ahead for the LAXCards.
Paulie also chatted with assistant Kay Morissette prior to the interview and caught up with her and what she's been up to since the season ended. Arguably the best to ever don a UofL Lacrosse uniform, Kay is always fun to talk to and it was time well spent before the interview with Scott. Thankfully, he didn't have to face her in any draw controls.
As you listen to the interview via the link at the end of the article link, here are some points and comments to listen for:
-- How did the Coach, staff and squad spend the fall?
-- When do they begin practice for the season?
-- Where will the Cards begin the season and when is the first home match?
-- Who is the first ACC foe the Cards will face?
-- How many home games will Louisville Lacrosse have and who comes to visit?
-- Does Paulie get a plane, a train and a siren in the interview? (three important background features to any Cardinal Couple interview)
-- Why will the Cards be the first team to arrive in Boston for the ACC Tournament besides the home-standing Eagles?
-- How many freshmen are on the roster?
-- Who returns from last year's roster and how many seniors does Teeter have?
-- Who returns from injury last year and how important will she be for the Cards?
An informative and well-spent time with Coach earlier this week, as we got the lowdown on what to expect for 2019 Louisville Lacrosse. Scott Teeter and his staff have worked the recruiting process quite diligently and extensively and have brought some very talented players in to augment the returnees from last season.
In his second season as the Cards skipper, Scott has restored the fire, team unity, integrity and excitement for Lacrosse on the campus. With Kay, Renee and Patty on-board as his capable, experienced and hard-working staff, the Cards are well-prepared and eager to hit the field and compete in the best conference in college lacrosse.

( Note: In case you are wondering, we got a plane around the five minute mark in the interview and a train around the 12 minute mark. No sirens. )

INTERVIEW WITH LOUISVILLE LACROSSE HEAD COACH SCOTT TEETER
Wednesday morning brought the opportunity to talk with Louisville Lacrosse coach Scott Teeter in his office at the "Little YUM" -- the facility that houses the basketball teams at UofL and Lacrosse. It's always quite fun talking with Coach Teeter, he brings a great perspective to anything he discusses and I also wanted to get an update on his and Jen's one-month old son Lucas.
Lacrosse S.I.D. Nick Evans sat in on the interview as well...you gotta love Nick...his personality and the work he does for Louisville athletics. We also got guest appearances (walk on roles) who brought valuable information from assistant coach Renee Poulott and the effervescent Director of Operations for Lacrosse Patty Norton. We had five in the office at one time, enough to go over and scrimmage women's basketball next door.
OK, that probably wouldn't have gone so well...so, on to the interview.
As the interview rolls, listen for the following points:
-- How are the Teeter's doing with the birth of Lucas?
-- How are things looking with fall lacrosse so far?
-- How was Coach Teeter's experience coaching the Boston Storm?
-- Who will the Cards play in the fall and how many are at home?
-- Why "satellite" clinics? Scott explains the process and reasoning.
-- What's the word on freshman Shay Clevenger?
-- Scott's overview of the 2019 roster and depth.
-- Scott vs. Ken Lolla ??
A great visit yesterday with the Louisville Lacrosse head coach Scott Teeter and a chance to catch up on the fall work they do. You can see Louisville Lacrosse, as Coach mentioned, on September 30th. at the Louisville Lacrosse Stadium, when they take on Marquette (10 a.m.) and Butler (1:30 p.m.). It's also Alumnae Weekend for Lacrosse, so don't miss this great opportunity to see Louisville LAX this fall!
A special thanks to Nick Evans for setting up the interview and to Coach Teeter, who reminded me I gave him Mendelssohn in the Kentucky Derby.

WSOC PLAYS NOTRE DAME TONIGHT
University of Louisville women's soccer puts their perfect ACC record on the line tonight against visiting Notre Dame in Lynn Stadium. The 7 p.m. match pits the 7-1 (1-0) Cards against a 4-4 Irish squad that was ranked in the top 25 early in the season but has since dropped out of that category.
The media had the chance to talk to Coach Karen Ferguson Dayes and Louisville middle defender Gabrielle Vincent yesterday, so I headed over there after my interview with Scott Teeter. Links for those two WSOC interviews below:
We also got an unexpected musical interlude during the Karen Ferguson Dayes interview. Ah, those tricky interns....
A special thanks to Coach for doing this, Gabrielle for participating and WSOC SID Kim Pemberton for setting the opportunity up:
Go. Cards. Beat. Irish.
INTERVIEW WITH GABRIELLE VINCENT
INTERVIEW WITH KAREN FERGUSON DAYES
Have a tremendous Thursday and please come out and support UofL Women's Soccer tonight at Lynn Stadium against Notre Dame!
