ACC Softball Honors -- FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Louisville softball supporting baseball

Happy Friday! We have reached the end of another workweek and boy has it been a busy one... at least for me. Daryl had another late night with the Louisville Bats so I'm standing in for her this morning.

With summer break swiftly approaching, our news and notes regarding Louisville women's athletes has slowed quite a bit. We do still see some news here and there, which softball had some of this week.

While Louisville softball's season has come to a close, a couple individual players received accolades. Daisy Hess and Riley Frizell were named to the All-ACC Third Team, as voted on by the league coaches.

Riley Frizell

Frizell, a transfer from Missouri, led the Cardinals in multiple categories. Her .337 batting average, .651 slugging percentage, 49 rbis, and 13 home runs were team highs. She ranks eighth in program history for home runs in a season. She reached base safely in 45 of the 52 games this year. 

Hess spent the last two seasons at Louisville after transferring in from Georgia State. The shortstop earned her second straight All-ACC honors. This season, she rotated through the top batting order spots in the lineup but found herself in the leadoff position more times than not. The fifth-year student-athlete led the team with 37 runs scored, 12 doubles, 34 walks, and a .456 on-base percentage. The 34 walks is fifth in program history in a single season. Hess reached safely in 45 of her 49 games played.

Daisy Hess

We wish both Frizell and Hess congratulations on their accomplishments and wish them the best of luck in the next steps of their careers and journeys through life!

Happy Friday and Go Cards!

Spring flying by!!! -- THURSDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Good morning readers,


Daryl here checking in on weekend eve. The Bats are in town so I switched with Jared to accommodate that schedule.

Hope everyone had a great Derby season, I'm already looking forward to next year!   I did put a little money on the winner so I came out even on the day.  

ON A PERSONAL NOTE

I'm also happy to report that I jumped back into some commentating earlier this week for our local Spalding University softball action. The Golden Eagles are hosting some post season SLIAC conference action and I am buddies with the athletic director over there so I was happy to help out and get back to my roots on the diamond!! Its been a few years...

Here's a pic of me out there and here's the recap if you're interested.

The ACC Softball Tournament is also going on but not for the Cardinals.   

BC got the 1-0 win over Syracuse to keep their season alive and face #4 seed Duke tomorrow and Notre Dame also advanced to see another day set to face #2 FSU.  

WNBA season opener coming up!

AIKO JONES LEAVING UOFL? -- WEDNESDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

 CARDS VOLLEYBALL GREAT TO LEAVE SQUAD/STAFF? 

If one mentions the name Aiko Jones around the UofL campus,any sports followers thee  will immediaely recognize her as one of the best ever to play Volleyball for the Cards. An unconfirmed but highly legitimate source at UofL tells us that her days may ne done on the Belknap Campus, with the word being that she may be leaving the University of Louiville and her graduate teaching assistant position and her playng eligibility has come to an end. .  

Graduate teaching assistants help faculty members teach undergraduate students. Known as GTA's, they are graduate students that take courses and study in a speciaized field. They do normally have eligibility left to play on teams, but there is word that Jones had been a grad assistant since 2018 has no playong time left. . They can have any number of tasks, from grading papers to helping sports information directors verify and proofread publications about the team. 

GTA's are usually on some type of scholarship and the position is sometimes consindered a team manager of sorts 

One listing of the Cards potential Vollleyball roster for 2024, however,  still has her listed as a outside hitter on the 2024 squad, so there is a bit of confusion, Aiko's website (aikojnes.com) doesn't really help clear up anything concerning her status, either.

The actual Cards 2024 roster has not been officially released yet, so we'll see what comes up on it for Dani Busboom Kelly's squad. . 

Jones arrived at UofL in 2018 and redshirted that season. She was an important contributor to the roster as an outside hitter for five seasons... from 2019-2023.

Jones had this to say about her and her life and status last summer. : 

.....The best decision I have ever made was also the hardest and scariest decision I have ever made. It was a decision that would change how people viewed me and how much they respected me. It was a decision that I thought would change my life forever and I was right about that, but I was wrong about what that change would look like. The best decision I have ever made was telling the world a very small detail about me. The best decision I have ever made was “coming out”.

As I write this, I am approaching 24 years old. I am a second-year master’s student in the University of Louisville’s Communication program. I have a dog and a cat, and I love to bake. I like puzzles, I love learning, and I wish I were ambidextrous. I am also engaged … to the most amazing woman I have ever met in my life. As I write this, I am proud, not of rainbows and labels and pride parades, but of my authenticity and my constant effort to live my truth. As I write this, I am proud to be who I am, and to be her publicly......

Whatever Aiko decides to take on next, we certainly wish her the best of luck here at Cardinal Couple. The old adage is: "You can't keep them forever.." but, in Jones case... she is one that a lot of Cardinals fans wish could remain on campus forever...

Louisville Players Join USL W League; Golf in NCAAs -- TUESDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Cards Set to Represent Racing Louisville Once More

Photo by Jared Anderson

We've talked at length about what Louisville City and Racing Louisville have brought and can continue to bring to the Louisville community and to the University of Louisville on the soccer front. Starting last season, we saw that direct impact come to fruition with the introduction of the USL's W-League. The W-League is "pre-professional" but is not completely analogous with the Racing Louisville Academy. Last season, four Cardinals wore purple over the summer. This season, that number falls to three, but the Cards will have their first player coming directly from the Academy. AG Gibson was on last year's W-League team, but 2024 will be her freshman season for Louisville. Also returning are Brooke Dardano and Betsy Huckaby. Savina Zamborini and Autumn Weeks competed last season. 

Racing Louisville and UofL will both miss the services of Ella Sanchez this year. The Ballard phenom that came up through the Academy announced last summer that she would forgo college and the NWSL to sign a professional contract in Mexico. The W-League schedule will consist of 10 games, starting on May 14th and ending on June 30th. Home games will be played at the Lynn Family Sports Vision & Training Center. Louisville will begin and end their season there against Indy Eleven. 

Ryskova T4 After Round 1; Griffiths T51

Hana Ryskova and Carmen Griffiths made it to the NCAA Regionals as individuals this season for Louisville women's golf. While both talked about how exciting it is to have their team on board during Media Day, they weren't quite able to get that same level of advancement this season. Having golfers qualify for the regionals is still quite a feat. Unfortunately, with the way that the NCAA Championship is structured, both golfers are competing for one spot. 

From each regional location (six) the top five teams and the top independent individual will advance to the finals, which are set to be played May 17-22 in Carlsbad, California. After the first round, Ryskova's -2 sees her sitting at T4 overall, but is T2 in the individual standings. Ryskova is tied with Kate Petrova, out of Evansville, and the pair are two strokes back of Notre Dame's Lauren Beaudreau. Those three will tee off together at 10:05 this morning in East Lansing for the second round. 

Until next time, Go Cards!

Softball Concludes Season with Win -- MONDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Photo by NBC / Getty Images / Justin Casterline

Happy Monday!... or something like that. The Monday after Derby weekend should be recognized as a holiday due to the fact we could all use an extra recovery day. Over 107,000 in attendance for the Kentucky Oaks, over 156,000 in attendance for the Kentucky Derby, and a record number of bets placed worldwide means it was another successful Derby season here in 'The Ville'.

Paulie had some solid picks for those of you who partake in those types of events. Sadly, I ended up in the hole just a little bit- an Andrew Jackson and an Alexander Hamilton, but that's the risk you take. A head bob at the finish line may or may not go your way and this year did not go my way.

As you can tell, this is not Paulie. He and Sonya made a quick trip up to Cincinnati early this morning so he made a call to the bullpen for the day.

Softball Goes Out with a Bang, Wins Big

It may have come a day late and a dollar short, but Louisville softball earned a win yesterday. The Cards took down Boston College 11-4 in the series finale to conclude the regular season 27-25. They were one game away from qualifying for the ACC Tournament (they finished 11th in the conference), and as Jeff mentioned yesterday, the Cards are considered eligible to make the NCAA Tournament but realistically have little chance of getting in.

Louisville wasted no time in putting a run on the scoreboard. Daisy Hess and Bailee Richardson led the game off with back-to-back walks. Riley Frizell hit a single to the outfield, which scored Hess. Boston College evened the score later that inning with a solo home run.

In the third inning, Richardson's second walk came at an opportune time due to a Vanessa Miller home run later in the inning. The Cards did give up a pair of runs in the fourth inning. Louisville answered in the top half of the following inning to regain the lead 4-3 thanks to a solo shot by Gabby Holloway.

Singles by Hess and Richardson and a walk by Frizell loaded the bases in the sixth inning. Holloway's sac fly helped the Cards push the lead to 5-3 before the Eagles hit a home run that same inning to bring the score within one.

The seventh inning proved to be a good one as the Cards put up a six spot. Kiley Goff and Mia Forsythe opened the inning with back-to-back singles. A Jac Hasty fielder's choice ended up with Goff out at third but runners still on first and second. Hess came up and made the most out of her final collegiate plate appearance, hitting a three-run home run. Keep in mind that the Cards held a one-run lead entering the inning so this "touch 'em all" gave Louisville a four-run advantage. Richardson and Frizell walked after that and were driven in on a double by Miller, who then was able to advance to third. Holloway hit another sac fly to plate Miller.

Brooke Gray was able to complete the full game in the final inning with many thanks to a game-ending play at the plate. The win is Gray's fourth of the season.

It was a great final game for Louisville's eight seniors. Their stats are as follows:

-Daisy Hess (3-4, 2B, HR, 3 RBI, BB)

-Bailee Richardson (1-1, 1B, 4 BB)

-Riley Frizell (1-3, 1 RBI, BB)

-Vanessa Miller (2-5, 2B, HR, 4 RBI)

-Gabby Holloway (1-2, HR, 3 RBI, BB)

-Paige Geraghty (2-5)

-Kiley Goff (1-2, BB, HBP)

-Mia Forsythe (1-4)

-Bailee Richardson's four walks in the game tied a program record.

-Mia Forsythe recorded her first hit of the season.

-Kiley Goff was hit by a pitch for the 21st time this season, ranking second in program history.

-Riley Frizell led the team with 13 home runs and 49 rbis.

-Daisy Hess led the team with 34 walks this season, ranking fifth in program history.

-Vanessa Miller led the team with 13 stolen bases this season while also posting career bests with 11 home runs and 39 rbis.

This season certainly didn't end up how we had hoped, but the Cards did get wins against ranked opponents in Arizona, Duke, Florida State, and Clemson. Errors and not being able to close out games were the two big killers. The Cards lost 14 games by two runs or less or in extra innings. Louisville finished the year with 59 defensive errors and a .960 fielding percentage.

Cardinal Couple has reached out about potentially interviewing some of the graduating seniors in the coming weeks. We hope to hear back with good news soon!

Tune back in tomorrow to see what insight Paulie will offer for us.

Happy Monday and Go Cards!

Softball Finishes Season Today - Sunday Cardinal Couple

Softball's Last Game

Well, that's not a great headline to share, it certainly doesn't bring the joy and excitement, but it is pretty much the reality of the situation.

Softball will be finishing out their regular season schedule today at Boston College with a game starting at 11am.  Note that this is an hour earlier than originally planned due to potential weather in the area.  It will be on ACC Network Extra as usual.

Boston College has won the previous two games of the series in walk-off fashion, locking up their place in the ACC Championship.  Along with Syracuse and Notre Dame also locking in one of the last three spots in the 10 team tournament, that leaves Louisville just on the outside looking in, finishing out the season in 11th in the standings.

In yesterday's affair, Louisville led from the starting gate, getting nosed out at the finish with The Eagles tying it up in the bottom of the 7th, and then getting the walk-off game winner in the 8th.  Boston College took the win 4-3.

The Cards are still technically eligible for an NCAA tournament at-large bit with a final record of 27-25 or 26-26, depending on the outcome of today's game, but realistically, they'll be on the outside looking in of that one as well.  That makes today's game the final game of the season, though we can't say that in an officially official way until the Softball tournament selections are revealed, then it will be.

So today's game is largely meaningless for the Cards, though Boston College will be playing to try to get favorable seeding in the ACC tournament.  Then our attentions start to turn to next year.  How warm is this head coaching seat getting?  I, personally, don't think it's at full boil, yet, but I think the warmth can be felt.  Of course, I'm not in the AD office on Floyd Street.

We, of course, will bring you any information that we get about Softball in the coming off season.

Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast

The CCRHP didn't happen yesterday as Derby Day is one of the days that we traditionally skip due to everyone going every which way to their various Derby Day festivities.  We'll be back with you next week bringing you what news there is from UofL Athletics, though it does start us into the dreaded "Summer Slump".

Paulie Picks/Handicapping Heroes Derby Results

It wasn't too awful a day for your intrepid handicapper in looking at the Derby Day Stakes races yesterday. I gave you 28 horses to look at over the nine stakes races and had four winners,four places and three shows. 

(No, Jeff was not there leading CARDS cheers..) 

i'm still wondering where Fierceness thought the finish line was in the Derby Race, i heard he's still running and somewhere off Taylor Blvd, right now, calling an Uber. ...but what a finish in the 150th Kentucky Derby. A three-way, throw a blanket over them, noses apart fnish at the wire. MYSTIK DAN survived the photo and is your winner,  but if Sierra Leone and Forever Young hadn't played bumper cars with each other in the final furlong...i think one of those two would have slid by and taken the mile and a quarter .

I placed a lot of different bets on things yesterday and Friday, from the comfort of my home and checked my TwinSpires account balance at the end of the day Saturday and had five less dollars in it than when I started wagering Friday. 

(NBC's Horse Race Handicappers are barely one step above these two) 

All in all, I enjoyed the two days of just being a  television viewer and not going out to the track this year and fighting lines, crowds, puddles, drunks and Derby prices. WAVE did an OK job as far as media coverage went.  I have a great history with WAVE, back when I used to go out to the infield dressed as a jockey and John Belski would always manage to find me and do a mock interview with me on my ficticious and hopeful mounts on Oaks and Derby Days.  Happy post 150th, y'all.

Derby Day -- SATURDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Happy 150th Derby Day!

Cardinal Couple is off today as we all prepare to celebrate Derby in our own various ways. Louisville softball was in action yesterday and dropped a heartbreaker at Boston College when they gave up a 2-run walk-off homer with two outs to lose 3-2. Bailey Richardson accounted for Louisville's runs with a 2-run homer in the first. Jeff will have a bit more on that and cover the second game of the series tomorrow. 

Oaks Day held an exciting batch of races, and I'm looking forward to the same from the card today. I still haven't quite decided who I'm going with in the big one. Do you think Fierceness could finally break the curse of the 17 post? I'm not convinced. Are you, like many interviewed yesterday, caught up with just how big Sierra Leone is? The 2 would still be a tough spot to come from. I might even like Epic Ride, in the field after Encino scratched, to be a dark horse candidate. 

Let us know in the comments who you like this year! Whether you're sipping on a Mint Julep, a Lily, a Spire, or some other concoction, be safe and have fun this Derby Day. PAULIE'S PICKS BELOW

Softball goes to Boston College -- Oaks Day -- FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

FRIDAYS WITH DARYL 

Good morning readers and Happy Oaks Day / Derby Weekend!


Per usual, the spring sports teams will hit the road on Derby week to free up hotel space in the city. Its been a nice week weather wise.. 85-90 might be a little extreme for the end of April, we will see if its still nice out throughout the weekend and races at Churchill Downs.

(picture from Kentucky Oaks)

My Oaks picks - Where’s my Ring (15-1), Into Champange (30-1) and Our Pretty Woman (15-1)

My Derby Picks – Catching Freedom (8-1), Track Phantom (20-1)and Fierceness (5-2)

If you are able to decipher the theme of my picks I will personally bake and send you a batch of cookies. It’s a pretty big stretch though. Paulie's OAKS DAY Stakes Races Picks are at the bottom of today's article

The Cards are heading north for Derby weekend to play in their final series of the regular season against the Eagles of Boston College. The first game is scheduled for 4pm on Friday on the ACCNX and 12pm on Saturday and Sunday with Saturdays matchup available for viewing on the ACC Network.

The Eagles are 27-22 and 7-14 in the ACC coming off a midweek matchup with Boston University where Boston College fell 1-6.

 

Boston University's Lauren Keleher went 4-4 with 5 RBIs on a double, triple and a home run. BC managed to plate only 1 run on 5 hits. 

BC has gone 3-9 since 4/9 this season. UofL, BC and Syracuse are in a 3 way tie for 9th in the league. The Cards are coming off a 1-2 weekend against the Clemson Tigers

For BC, Hannah Slike leads offensively with a .358 BA scoring 26 runs on 57 hits.

We’ve seen Alyssa Zabala get the starting nod for the first game of the series this season so expect her to start in the circle for the Cards. (18-14) carries a 3.05 ERA with 91 strikeouts in 151.2 innings. Her 18 victories lead the ACC and rank 20th nationally. 

Daisy Hess leads the team with 31 runs, 31 walks and a .441 on-base percentage. She stands tied for ninth on Louisville's single season list for walks.




Have a happy and safe Derby weekend everyone!!!

Robinson and Williams Depart WBB -- THURSDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

It's uncommon for us to have much talk regarding women's basketball at this time of the year other than a late commit or transfer joining the squad. Instead of talking about additions to the program, we talk about a pair of alums who are moving onto bigger and better things.

Mykasa Robinson Joins Marshall

After a six-year career with Louisville, Mykasa Robinson announced that she will be joining the coaching staff for Marshall women's basketball. Robinson played five seasons for the Cards before becoming a graduate assistant for a season. 

Robinson was known for her defensive skills and leadership as a player. She helped lead the Cards to two Elite Eight appearances and a Final Four.

The Ashland native is a part of a brand new coaching staff at Marshall under first year head coach Juli Fulks.

Josie Williams Joins Utah State

Following a two-year stent at Louisville, Josie Williams will become the new director of operations for Utah State women's basketball. Williams played one season at Louisville and spent another season as a graduate assistant.

Williams came in as a transfer in order to help with the post play. She quickly showed her versatility by knocking down three-pointers to go along with her performance down low.

As a Utah native, Williams is able to head back to her home state and be a part of a Utah State program looking to turn things aorund.

We wish both Mykasa and Josie the best of luck in their new roles!

Paulie's Picks

For those of you that have followed Cardinal Couple for a while or know Paulie, then you are familiar with his handicapping expertise. With Oaks and Derby upon us, Paulie has been considering wiping the dust off of his old site, "PAULIE PICKS" in order to give us his inside knowledge and thoughts on the two biggest days of the year here in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

I will let Paulie add his comments on that.

EDITOR'S NOTE:  I will have Oaks Day Picks at the bottom of the Friday Column and Derby Day Picks at the bottom of Saturday's Column. I will be handicapping the stakes racea each day.

Triantafyllou Gets ACC Freshman of the week honors -- WEDNESDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

TRIANTAFYLLOU NAMED ACC FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK

First off, Happy May Day to you! If you'e not familiar with the state (it's actually a commonwealth, by the way)...May is pretty big here in Kentucky, they run the Kentucky Derby, of course, on the first Saturday in May and, this year,  the PGA Golf Championships will be held at Valhalla (on the outskirts of Louisville) later this month.

Louisville women's track and field has had their share of excellent  track and field athletes  over the years.  ILLIANA TRIANTAFYLLOU is a freshman pole vaulter that is among those. 

She was named the ACC Freshman of the Week  after her huge performance in the Clark Wood Invitational women's pole vault...clearing 4.18m (13-8.5), which tied the best jump in Cardinals women's history for a freshman, previously held by Gabriela Leon back in 2018. You remember Leon, don't you? She won the NCAA Pole Vault back in 2022. with a still all-time Uofl best of 4.75m. (14ft.7.5 inches) 

Illiana hails from Serres, Greece and her jump is the sixth best in the ACC this season. Triantfyllou joined the Cards in January and had finished second in the Greek National Champunship pole vaulting events back in 2023.

She also won tthe 2022 Greek U18 Championships. 

Pole Vaulting is one of those track and field events that never cease to amaze me, given the precise timing, positionong, technique and style needed to be good at it. I admired the athletes I participated in track and field with in hgh school that were proficient at the pole vault and I even tried to see if I could be a "vaulter" but never could get over the bar...and they set it prettty low for guys that were in tryouts  As the coaches finally told me, "You run around the track once and twice pretty good, stick with that"

I enjoyed trying the long jump and triple jump, but never could match what the best on the team were doing. One of my grade school buddies went onto do some great things in the pole vault in high school. 

In the Clark Wood, Louisville Track and Field also got a 4.18m vault out of Natalie Lark . It would appear the Cards have a fine arsenal of long jumpers to help them compete and possibly win a lot of those events in the next few years. 

The ACC Championshiips will occur May 9-11 in Atlanta, GA...A full scheule of events are  available for viewing on the ACCNX and a schedule can be found at: https://theacc.com/feature/outdoor-track-field-championships .
