Cards begin BIG EAST Tournament quest in Tampa vs Bulls

The University of Louisville women's soccer team faces the South Florida Bulls Sunday at 1 p.m. on their march to take the BIG EAST Tournament. Louisville finished 3rd in the National Division with a 10-4-3 record and 5-3-3 in the BIG EAST. The Cards won their final two regular season games against Seton Hall (3-0) and Cincinnati (2-1)

Good luck to our women's soccer team! Kick 'em where they ain't!

Football goes to 8-0 and retains the Keg of Nails

I don't believe I've been as wet at a football game since the Florida St. game a decade ago. Still, we made it through the entire contest and Louisville won on a overtime field goal by John Wallace after Terell Floyd intercepted a Munchie Legaux pass intended for the end zone.

Cardinal offense. Wow
Cardinal defense. Ow
Cards 8-0 now

Go CARDS Go!!

It is good to be in dry clothes....

Field Hockey gets win over Nova

.
SUNDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

-Field Hockey defeats Villanova 3-1

-WBB gets a commit from talented juco

-Uremovich named Homecoming Queen

Field Hockey celebrates Senior Day with win

The University of Louisville Field Hockey team closed out the home part of their BIG EAST schedule with a 3-1 win over Villanova Saturday at Trager Stadium. With the win, Louisville goes to 10-7 on the season and 2-3 in league play.

The two teams battled through a scoreless first half, Louisville generating most of the offense but unable to get any points on the scoreboard. Things changed, though, when the teams came out for the second period...the Cards getting a goal from Erin Schneidtmiller just a minute and thirty-nine seconds into action.

Nova tied the contest ten minutes later but the Cards quickly responded when Amber Thomas corralled a missed Paige Monson shot and sent it in the net for a 2-1 Cardinal advantage. Louisville closed out the scoring when Schneidtmiller set up Alyssa Voelmle with a pass six minutes later and Voelmle found the back of the net.

The win keeps the Cards chances alive for making the BIG EAST Tournament, which will be held here at Trager Stadium Nov. 2nd and 4th.

Four seniors were honored before the game: Erin Conrad, Haley Jurich, Natasha Leickly and Amber Thomas.

The Flock will face Ohio State Monday at Trager.

Janelle Cannon verbals to Louisville

Jeff Walz has gotten his first verbal commitment for the 2013 class, Janelle Cannon verballing after her visit to campus Saturday. 

The 5'9" point guard is one of the top junior college players and comes from S.W. Illinois College to join the Cards. While there... she averaged 18.6 ppg, 6.5 assists and 4.5 steals per game. She'll sign next month with the Cards and picked Louisville over Washington, DePaul and several other schools.

She was one that suddenly emerged as a prospect for Louisville...virtually flying below the public knowledge level of Louisville's interest in her until quite recently.
She's a very capable point guard that could step in and eventually be the UofL point guard of the future. 

Her path to Louisville was circuitous. Originally headed to Minnesota, she attended summer classes there but left to enroll at Illinois State before leaving there and playing last season at S.W. Illinois. 

v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^

Angelika Uremovich selected Homecoming Queen

Junior midfielder soccer star Angelika Uremovich was crowned Homecoming Queen at halftime of the UofL football game yesterday against South Florida.

From Oakville, ONT., Uremovich has been a three year starter for the Cards and has nine goals this season for UofL. 

The selection of Uremovich marks the third straight year a Cardinal athlete has been named either Homecoming King or Queen...Peyton Siva was King in 2011 and Kyle Kuric in 2010. Will Stein was nominated for King this year but did not win.

And, the Cards rallied from behind to defeat USF 27-25...getting a touchdown pass from Teddy Bridgewater to Eli Rogers with about a minute and a half to go in the game.

We really can't say enough about Teddy's clutch effort in that final Cardinal drive for the winning touchdown. The man has ice water in his veins. Calm, cool and collected he marched the Cardinal offense down the field with the poise and confidence that winners exhibit. See Charlie's Springer's excellent recap of the game over at CARD GAME. Link below.

Teddy!

Friday Cardinal Couple -- Soccer faces crucial weekend

.
FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

-Georgetown, Villanova visit this weekend

A key weekend of soccer matches face the University of Louisville Women's soccer team in Cardinal Park. With just three weeks remaining in the regular season, Louisville is fourth in the BIG EAST National Division and can improve upon their standing with wins over third-place Villanova Friday and league-leading Georgetown on Sunday.

The Friday night 7 p.m. match against the Wildcats is Louisville's "Pink Game" for Breast Cancer Awareness. Louisville will don special pink uniforms and all breast cancer survivors can gain free admission by calling (502) 852-8466 or e-mailing BMUSEL01@louisville.edu

Villanova is 5-6-2 on the season and 3-2-0 in BIG EAST play. They downed Pitt last time out 3-2 and tonight's match will be the eighth all-time meeting between the two schools...Nova holding a 4-3 advantage. The Cards took a 3-2 double overtime win last year on the road against the Wildcats.

Georgetown invades Sunday with a 11-1-1 record and a 5-0-0 BIG EAST record. They also beat Pitt last time out 8-0 last week. This is also the eighth time Louisville and the Hoyas have met, Louisville with a 4-3 edge in games. UofL downed Georgetown 2-1 in double overtime last year in Washington, D.C.

The Cards are 7-3-2 on the season and 2-2-2 in BIG EAST play. They are ranked 46th. in the latest NCAA RPI release. Wins this weekend would propel them into third place in the BIG EAST National Division behind the Hoyas and Notre Dame.

Best of luck to the University of Louisville women's soccer team in these two key matches!

Saturday Cardinal Couple -- Volleyball, Field Hockey capture wins


SATURDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

-Volleyball sweeps MTSU in three games

-Field Hockey gets double overtime win over CMU

-Soccer falls at Notre Dame

-Renew those tickets!

Louisville women's sports team went 2-1 on Friday. The VolleyCards rolling by Middle Tennessee in the KFC YUM! Center, field hockey earning a 3-2 double overtime win in East Lansing and soccer falling short in South Bend to the Irish 2-1. Here's the recaps...

Volleyball overpowers Blue Raiders

Louisville goes to 9-1 with a straight-set sweep over MTSU Friday night in the KFC YUM! Center. The 25-19, 25-11, 25-19 wins were a little closer than the scores would suggest...at least in two of the games.


MTSU broke away from a 5-5 tie in the first game and held leads over Louisville ranging from two to three points until a Cardinal rally tied the contest at 17-17. 

At 19-19, two straight kills from Brooke Mattingly put the Cards ahead to stay. Four straight MTSU attack errors against the stout Louisville defense gave the Cards the first game by six points. 

Louisville pulled away from a 5-5 tie in the second contest...getting four kills from Emily Juhl to lead 10-6. An attack error increased the Cardinal lead to 13-7 and two straight Brooke Mattingly kills made it 17-9 Louisville. Two consecutive Caitlin Welch aces gave the Cards a 21-10 advantage and UofL notched four out of the five next points to win 25-11. 


After the break, the teams were tied early at 3-3 before Lola Arslanbekova delivered two kills to give the Cards a 6-3 edge. That increased to 8-5 after a Kaitlynn James kill and 11-5 when Tanya Lukyanenko delivered a kill. Lola made it 13-6 with her fourth kill of the game but the Blue Raiders mounted a brief rally to cut it to 13-10. MTSU attack errors gave Louisville a 18-11 lead. Middle Tennessee would get within three again at 18-15 but three straight Cardinal point pushed the lead to six points. Lola's final kill of the night gave Louisville a 22-16 advantage, Tanya added another kill to get the Cards to a 24-18 lead and Katie George ended the contest and match with a kill to give  UofL another six point win. 

Gwen Rucker did not participate in the match because of an illness. No word whether she'll be available for today's games.

The VolleyCards return to action Saturday against UNLV and Miami (FL).

Field Hockey escapes in double overtime

Sophomore Alyssa Voelmle's goal a minute into the second overtime gave Louisville a 3-2 win over the Chippewas in East Lansing, Michigan. 


The Cards trailed 1-0 in the first half when Elisa Garcia took a pass from Becca Maddock at the 19 minute mark and tied it for Louisville. CMU went back ahead 2-1 less than a minute later but Louisville rallied to tie the contest on a Maddock goal at the 25 minute mark. 

The teams went into the half tied at 2-2 and played the second half in a scoreless effort to force overtime. 
Louisville held a 3-1 edge in shots in the first 15 minute extra session but could not score. With 1:01 expired in the second overtime, Voelmle took a pass from Garcia and drilled a shot past Central Michigan goalie Anastasia Netto for the sudden death victory.

Erin Conrad had five saves for Louisville in the win, which improved the Cards record to 5-2. 

Louisville faces the winner of the Michigan v. American game on Sunday. 

Late efforts by Cards fall short in soccer against Notre Dame. 

Louisville falls in their BIG EAST open to Notre Dame 2-1 in a match that was televised on ESPNU. The Cards had opportunities to score but couldn't manage it. An improbable one against four shot on goal by N.D. freshman Crystal Thomas gave the Irish a 1-0 lead late in the first half. 


The Cards fell behind 2-0 in the second half on a crucial defensive error by Louisville goalkeeper Chloe Kiefer which allowed Lauren Bohaboy to slide past her with the ball and sink a shot into the unguarded net.  

The Cards rallied for a goal in the last minute of play when Angelika Uremovich booted it a missed head shot by Charlyn Corral in front of the goal. 


A disappointing loss and a game Louisville certainly played well enough in to gain a win. Unforced errors and miracle shots can get ya, though...

Louisville drops to 5-2 overall and heads to DePaul next for a Sunday matchup with the Blue Demons.

Monday Cardinal Couple -- Soccer wins, Golf tees off today

.
MONDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

-Soccer back to winning ways over Toledo 3-1

-Women's Golf team starts season in Colorado

-Happy Birthday Robbie! 


Uremovich the difference as Louisville defeats Toledo

The University of Louisville soccer team improved to 5-1 on the season with a 3-1 win over Toledo Sunday at Cardinal Park in the Marriott Louisville Airport Classic. Angelika Uremovich scored twice for the Cards in the triumph.


A slow start for Karen Ferguson-Dayes kickers, who were knotted in a scoreless tie after the first half. Toledo hit the board first in the 52nd minute of play and held that advantage until the 59th minutes...when Chelsea Hunter connected on a penalty kick. It was her first score of the season. 

Louisville took the lead for good in the 70th minute of the 90 minute contest when Uremovich scored her first goal of the game. A precise header off a corner kick from Charlyn Corral made it 2-1 Cards. 

She tacked on the insurance goal the the 81st minute, driving a pass to the right post past Toledo's goalkeeper. Uremovich has 15 career goals and the junior from Ontario also was named to the All-Tournament team with Hunter for Louisville. 


" I was not happy with the way we started the first half but the increased energy and effort to start the second half was the difference. The credit goes to our kids for the second half. We have to understand that we must respect the game from the opening whistle in every match we play." Louisville women's soccer head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes.

Respect could be tested this Friday when the Cards play the first of two on the road, a nationally televised contest on ESPNU against Notre Dame. The game is set for 4 p.m. Louisville finished the road trip at DePaul on Sunday. 

Tee time: Louisville women's golf begins season


The Louisville women's golf team starts the season this morning at Windsor, Colorado as part of a seventeen team field in the Colonel Bill Wollenberg Ptarmigan Ram Classic. Louisville will play 36 holes today and 18 Tuesday in the two-day event.

A solid returning nucleus for first year coach Courtney Trimble. Candace Wiley, Tara Lyons, Emily Haas, Katie Petrino and Sara Karlsson will tee it up. Wiley is the only senior in the group and all five saw extensive action for the Cards last season. 

Lady sings the blues (except today)


Finally, a very happy birthday to Louisville singer/performer Robbie Bartlett. A favorite of the CARDINAL COUPLE ownership, Robbie's a fixture at Saturday afternoon tailgating events at the Parrish House...performing her eclectic mix of pop, rhythm and blues, Motown and soul. The only downer to the Louisville win over Kentucky a couple of weeks back in football was that the pre-game rain kept Robbie and her excellent band from performing.  

We love it when she sings the national anthem at Louisville women's basketball game and you'll find her in the stands cheering on Jeff Walz's troops even if she isn't scheduled to perform. We'd love to see her become the regular singer for these contest, seems like Louisville always wins when she delivers the "stars and stripes". Are ya listening, Tom and Julie? 

It also so happens that Robbie shares her birthday with Cardinal women's basketball great Angel McCoughtry. 

You can also catch Robbie at various other venues around town and we've provided a link to her website. 

Rockin' Robbie

Friday Cardinal Couple -- Three women's teams in action this weekend.

.
FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

- Volleyball, Soccer and Field Hockey in action this weekend. 
"72 hours, six events, a full tank of gas and I'm not
wearing sunglasses" (Photo by Charlie Springer)

If you're a University of Louisville women's sports fan (and would you be here if you weren't?) you've hit the trifecta this weekend. Volleyball plays three times over Friday and Saturday, field hockey gets in two matches on Friday and Sunday and soccer hosts Purdue Friday night. Any fan who attends all six contests deserves a medal of honor from Julie Hermann...Cardinal Couple will have reports on all six contests...so let's get to the preview essentials! 

(Maybe we should get the medal of honor...)

VOLLEYBALL

The Volley Cards take over the KFC YUM! Center Friday night and all day Saturday with three matches in the Active Ankle Challenge. First up are the WKU Hilltoppers at 7:30 p.m. Friday night. No pushover here, the 'Tops' were 31-4 last year and lost to Marquette in the NCAA Tournament. 

Make sure and go early if you're attending this one. They're will be an All-Sport Pre-Game Autograph Session where various student-athletes will be signing autographs in the Main Concourse of the KFC YUM! Center from 5:30-7:00 p.m. A free autograph poster will be distributed. Your chance to get your favorite UofL athletes on ink. UofL is asking that fans just bring one additional item to be signed. Can't have Jordan Trimble wearing out that rocket arm...

The Cards also face Morehead State Saturday at 11 a.m. and Penn State at 7 p.m. A busy weekend for Anne Kordes' net-blasters! 

FIELD HOCKEY

#23 in the nation Cardinal Field Hockey will open their 2012 season with the Sherrill Brakemeier Classic. The Cards first opponent is #21 Northeastern. A perennial C.A.A. power, the Huskies went 14-8 last season and return an all-conference goalie in Lizzie Priest. 

Louisville looked impressive in an exhibition against IU last weekend...getting a goal from freshmen Kendall Weeding and two from Victoria Stratton. Senior Erin Conrad had seven saves in the 3-0 scrimmage win. 

Game time is 6 p.m. Friday. The Cards will face either Northwestern or Miami (OH) on Sunday. Admission is free for all field hockey contest this weekend. 

SOCCER

#18 Louisville soccer hosts Purdue Friday night at 7 p.m. at Cardinal Park. The Cards enter the match off a 2-0 win at Butler last Friday. Casey Whitfield and Angelika Uremovich scored for the 'Ville" in the win. 


Chloe Kiefer notched her 11th career shutout at goalie for Louisville, aided by the strong Louisville defensive backfield. 

Purdue is 2-0 so far this season...with wins over Toledo and Eastern Illinois. 

Admission is free for the match and the first 200 fans entering the gates get a free Louisville Soccer t-shirt. 

We hope you'll get to at least one or more of the games this weekend on campus or at the YUM! 

CARDINAL COUPLE will have full recaps on the madcap action this weekend and the soccer match will be available on CARDS TV for subscribers....in case you're up in your summer igloo in Nome or basking on the beach in Bimini. Have a great weekend and...

LET'S GO CARDS!

Saturday Cardinal Couple -- Cards win 2-0 vs. Butler

.
SATURDAY CARDINAL COUPLE


-Women's Soccer defeats Butler 2-0

-Field Hockey wins scrimmage over IU

-Volleyball Saturday! 

-A wonderful "Journey"

A great way for the fall women's sports at UofL to kickoff Friday...two wins in two games. Here's the scoop.

Louisville women's soccer traveled to Indianapolis to face Butler University and was victorious 2-0 over the Bulldogs. After a scoreless first half, Casey Whitfield got the Cards on the scoreboard in the 54th. minute of play...finding the net on a pass from transfer Charlyn Corral. Minutes later, Angelika Uremovich made it 2-0 Louisville, connecting on a free kick from 35 yards out. 

The Louisville defense was solid in shutting out Butler...Chloe Kiefer with three saves for her 11th. lifetime shutout. Credit goes to the defensive backs for UofL as well, turning away Butler advances time and time again. 

The Soccer Cards return to action Friday Aug. 24th against Purdue.

******************************************

Louisville Field Hockey had a successful opening exhibition Friday...downing I.U. at Trager Stadium.


Louisville won the regular scrimmage session 3-0. They also bested the Hoosiers in a 7-on-7 set 1-0 and topped the afternoon off with a 3-1 win in a shootout match.

Freshman Victoria Stratton had two goals in the scrimmage and goalie Erin Conrad provided four first half saves for the Cards. 

******************************************

Volleyball scrimmage tomorrow at Cardinal Arena. It the annual alumnae match and takes place at 6 p.m.


Louisville was picked to finish first in the BIG EAST in a preseason coaches poll, garnering 12 of the 14 first place votes. 

Lola Arslanbeckova selected pre-season BIG EAST Player of the Year. 

Great things ahead for the 2012 Volleyball squad! Season tickets still on sale...why not head out to the Volleyball scrimmage tomorrow and get your seats for the upcoming, exciting action? 

*******************************************

It's very rare we do a concert review here at Cardinal Couple...this is our first as best we can remember...but Journey visited Freedom Hall last night with Pat Benetar and Loverboy...and the show was a great one. 

The Eighties returned to Louisville last night and it was four hours of non-stop hits from the three acts. 

Journey, with most of the original lineup except lead singer, was in great form and had the 18,000 in Freedom Hall rocking for two hours. Arnel Pineda manning the microphone since 2007, sounded just like Steve Perry. Neal Schon can still rock a six-string. 

Kinda weird to be back in the Hall last night...with BIG EAST banner still hanging from the rafters...and memories of Angel, Pervis, Griff and the McCray brothers flashing back to me. The music made it a fun return, though. 

Don't stop believing, Cardinal fans.

Journey is all over the nation the next couple of months. If they hit your area, go. They're worth seeing.

Saturday Cardinal Couple -- Louisville defeats Ohio State 1-0 in Friday scrimmage

.
Saturday Cardinal Couple

- Women's soccer downs Buckeyes

We asked the question several times this week about how well the Louisville women's soccer team would handle the early season absence of last year's leading scorer Christine Exeter. Maybe we should have been asking how well the Cardinal defense would step up to neutralize the temporary loss. 


Charlyn Corral with the
only goal of the game
Louisville shut out Ohio State 1-0 Friday night at Cardinal Park. The defense stepping up big time to keep the Buckeyes out of the net and transfer Charlyn Corral scoring the lone goal of the exhibition for the Cardinal win on an assist from Angelika Uremovich.

Chloe Kiefer guarding the net with four saves in the shut-out. 

1-0 didn't have scoring enthusiasts jumping up and down in excitement...obviously, but it showed that the veteran Louisville defensive crew took this game "very personally" and wanted to show Cardinal fans early on the skill and abilities that they plan on exhibiting this fall. 


A win over a BIG TEN school. Yes, we'll accept that.

Shutting out a BIG TEN school. Have some. 

The objective is to outscore the opposition. 1-0 works.

Louisville plays again Sunday against Wright State. 

*******************************************

USA Olympics Women's Basketball team goes for the gold today against France. Tip off scheduled for 4 p.m. on NBC. 

"Play me, Geno..."
A letdown for the Americans after defeating #2 in the world Australia? Don't count on it. 

Probably the last Olympic go-around for Bird, Taurasi, Catchings and Cash. A team looking to show that the half-time lead by the Aussies in Thursday's semi-final game was a combination of torrid Australia first-half shooting and lackadaisical USA defense. 

Australia scored 25 points in the second quarter. They scored 26 points in the second half. The old adage that offense wins fans but defense wins games never truer than the final 20 minutes of the USA effort against Jackson and Cambage. 30 first-half points for the twin towers, six in the second-half. 

We hope Geno gives Angel a more involved role today. The French aren't going to come in and roll over for USA. Not many expected to see them in the final. Let's send them back home with a 
silver.

Friday Cardinal Couple -- Women's Soccer looks to repeat last year's success

.
FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE


- Women's soccer geared for another successful season. 


- This, that and the other...


The historic season for University of Louisville women's soccer last year culminated with advancement to the 3rd round of the NCAA tournament with wins over Dayton and Memphis. A close 2-0 loss to Final Four participant Florida State ended the Cards championship season...a season that saw them go 14-7-3 and finish second in the BIG EAST Conference Tournament, losing to champion West Virginia at Morgantown in the Mountaineers' final BIG EAST appearance.


The good news for head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes is that she has her two leading scorers from last year returning in Christine Exeter and Angelika Uremovich and her starting goalie...Chloe Kiefer. 


The Cards were 8-1-2 in the BIG EAST and forward Exeter was selected to the NSCAA All-American team. She scored 14 goals for Louisville and was also named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year.  

She'll have both Uremovich and Kim Sharo back to help her produce points for the Cards and 12 freshmen join the team this season...plus transfer and international sensation Charlyn Corral, who played for Mexico's 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup team. 


The action begins with a pair of exhibition games at Cardinal Park starting next Friday. Louisville will face the Ohio State Buckeyes on Aug. 10th. and Wright State on Sunday, Aug 12th. The regular season kicks off on Friday, August 17th. when Louisville travels to play at Butler. 


The Cards will have ten home games at Cardinal Park, including a Sept. 7th. match against Kentucky. Louisville will be looking for revenge this season...losing to UK 2-0 last year in Lexington. 


*******************************************


I don't do laundry (Sonja's request) so I can't duplicate Sandy's Laundry Day but here's a few UofL women's sports related tidbits. 


-- China Dow, Christian Academy's stellar point guard has verballed to MTSU (Middle Tenn. State U.). According to her coach, Don Rice...it came down to UK or the Blue Raiders. She's one that has improved greatly over the last year and we'll be watching her career in Murfreesboro. 


-- Melissa Starck Bean has accepted Anne Kordes' offer to be an assistant volleyball coach at UofL. If the name sounds familiar, she played her high school volleyball at Assumption, was an assistant at UofL for Leonid Yelin from 2005-09 and most recently assistant club director at KIVA (Kentucky Indiana Volleyball Academy). Welcome back, Melissa! 


-- Amanda Zahui, the Swedish basketballer who considered Louisville WBB before verballing to Minnesota, will be ineligible this season because of academic certification woes. Sounds like a juco stint to us. 


-- Angel McCoughtry and the USA Olympic Women's Basketball team face the Czech Republic today at 5:15 p.m. You can catch it on the NBC Sports Network. We'll have a recap in Saturday's CARDINAL COUPLE. 


-- Jeff Walz does a Q and A with Jody Demling over at Cardinal Authority. We like the changes that have occurred over at the Scout site since J.D. replaced Mike Hughes and you can access the site over on the left side of our site under Sites We Recommend. 


Have a great Friday and L1C4, baby! 


-Paul
