Sunday Cardinal Couple - The End of the Fall is Nigh
Action Yesterday
Only one sport was in action yesterday, Swimming and Diving was competing in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge up at Purdue in West Lafayette. This isn't specifically a UofL event, but it truly is an event between the conferences. Coaches are named for the conference teams, with Arthur Albiera being an Assistant Coach for the ACC squad, and all-star participants are selected from conference schools to compete on behalf of the conference. 11 UofL athletes were picked to compete, a veritable who's who of Cardinals Swimming and Diving with Mariia Astashkina, Sophie Cattermole, Mallory Comerford, Molly Fears, Alina Kendzior and Grace Oglesby on the women's side...nearly all names that have been mentioned here at Cardinal Couple a number of times before.
Perhaps the least frequently mentioned name is Mariia Astashkina, from Moscow, who is competing primarily in the breast stroke in her sophomore season as a Cardinal swimmer. Five guys are representing the ACC as well, again, mostly names you've heard before if you follow the Swimming and Diving to any significant degree; Marcelo Acosta, Nick Albiero, Andrej Barna, Zach Harting and Evgenii Somov.
After the first day of swimming, the Men are neck and neck with the Big Ten at 85 points, and the ACC at 82. The women's battle is not as close, with the Big Ten in the lead 123-44. The event continues today.
Action Today
Rowing is participating in the latest of the wonderfully named rowing events, the Rivanna Romp, in Earlysville, VA.
Men's Soccer is competing at noon for the ACC Championship. They tangle with North Carolina, in Cary NC. This matchup is a 4 seed, Louisville, vs the 2 seed Tarheels. In national rankings, UNC is #4 in the coach's poll, while UofL sits in 10th. This one gets a bit of a step of from the typical ACC Network Extra and will be on ESPNU.
Also in action today, a bit of an injury depleted UofL Volleyball squad will be taking on Wake Forest at 1pm. This one is available on the ACC Network Extra.
A quick run down on the injuries that we're aware of. Alexis Hamilton has been out all season, going down with an ACL tear right before the season opener. Kelly O'Neil has been out for an extended period already with a back injury, details are not known. And in the past week, Emily Scott and Melanie McHenry have both been either out, or at least on limited playing regimes due to knee injuries (we have a report of a stress fracture for Scott, and a strained patella tendon for McHenry, neither are anything official).
The positive aspect of this has been that these injuries have been spread around among different positions, hitting an outside hitter, a middle hitter/blocker, and two defensive specialists. Starting the season, we were commenting on the depth of the team, with discussions about who will get playing time both in the middle between the triumvirate of Jasmine Bennett, Emily Scott, and Piper Roe, and on defensive with what seemed to be the absurdly high number of DSes on the roster. Jasmine Bennett went out for a bit with a strained abdomen a little while back, but has returned to 100%, only for Emily Scott's sidelining with a knee injury, so we've been glad to have 3 middles that were ready and capable of playing at a D1 volleyball level.
Along with the departure of Maggie Mullen from the team, the injuries at DS have left the team eyeing the remaining DSes closely. Freshman Mia Stander has stepped up and proven herself capable of taking on the role beyond any shadow of a doubt. Akela Yuhl, sophomore, has stepped up and filled the role well, and we still have Natalie Palastro who could step into the role as well, so we're still in a good situation for DSes, but I certainly wouldn't want to lose any more to injury.
Today might be a good day to spread some of the playing time around and develop some of those extra players that have spent time in the wings ready to step up when their number is called. Wake Forest sits in the bottom quarter of the ACC rankings at 4-11 in conference, 9-18 overall. Wake has dropped decisions against Air Force, UNC Greensboro, and Ohio University.
Cardinal Couple Radio Hour
3 of the knuckleheads graced the magnificent media mansion on Mellwood yesterday. Paulie, Jared, and I held down the fort and had a good discussion where we wrapped up the Field Hockey and Women's Soccer seasons. And, yes, we even griped a bit about people getting the name of our teams wrong. We aren't "The Cardinal", that's Stanford, and we aren't "The Lady Cards".
We discussed Volleyball, Women's Basketball, and even had a little bit of fun with Rowing event names.
