Sunday Cardinal Couple
Some Good News to Start...
While most of the UofL women's sports results weren't the desired outcome yesterday, we did get a piece of good news, so we'll start there.
Gabrielle Vincent, defender extraordinaire, and an absolute delight to interview as well, was added to the Utah Royals FC roster when it was unveiled this week. Gabrielle was a major part of UofL's stout defensive efforts over the past couple of years, and was frequently available for questions from the media at Fall Sports Media Days and other times. Royals FC is definitely getting a good one in Gabrielle, not only a quality defender, but also a personable and upbeat teammate to build a good team culture on.
Boston College Evens Series
A back and forth affair in Brighton, MA, but the Boston College Eagles eventually came away victorious, 8-4. Most of the offensive execution returned to the top part of the line-up.
The offense got started early with lead-off hitter Celene Funke getting a hit, and in a stat that will surprise absolutely no one who has paid attention to the team this year, stole second. She finished the circuit on Sidney Melton's single. Unfortunately, the offense got started early for Boston College as well as they answered with 2 runs in the bottom of the 1st.
The bottom of the line-up didn't go unrepresented in the offense, albeit in less conventional style, with Taylor Roby getting a single, Caitlin Ferguson getting plunked, followed by Kyra Snyder and Maddy Newman drawing walks to plate Jordyn Wolfe who had entered to pinch run for Roby.
With the score evened at 2 after 3 1/2 innings, BC put up 4 to retake the lead and extend it to 6-2. They added a couple more in the 5th to reach their tally of 8 for the game.
The Cards would rally some, but it wasn't enough. Sidney Melton doubled, and Megan Hensley took one beyond the fence to bring Melton home, with the pair bringing the score to the 8-2 final.
The Cards and Eagles will decide the series today with a noon start, with ACC Network Extra being listed for video.
Lacrosse Takes an L
We knew the Lacrosse game against Virginia would be a challenge, and while the Cards came out on the losing side, this was an effort that can be respected against a quality Top 10 opponent. UVA came away with the 16-12 victory.
UVA got off to a quick start with the first draw control and a score just 10 seconds into the game, but the Cards didn't give up. They battled and kept the game close at 4-3 halfway through the first half. UVA went on a run, but UofL didn't fold, scoring two goals just before halftime bringing the halftime tally to 9-5.
The Cards kept that momentum going opening the 2nd half, scoring another pair to draw within two at 9-7. UVA answered with a pair of their own to stretch the lead to 11-7. Most of the 2nd half was alternative scores, although UVA did sneak in a 3-0 run in the midst of it. UofL would score a final 2 in the last minute of play to draw the score to 16-12, but it just wasn't enough.
The Blalock sisters both contributed, with 4 goals for Sarah, and 1 for Caroline. Tessa Chad and Alex McNicholas both got a pair, and single goals were also contributed by Kayla Marshall, Ally Hall, and Shayla Scanlan.
The Cards Lacrosse Squad will wrap up the season Saturday, the 20th at Boston College with a noon first draw. No video is listed for this one.
Cardinal Couple Radio Hour
After a near-crisis with the computer that supplies our intro and exit music, walk up music, and various sound effects, the Cardinal Couple Radio Hour made it to air sonically intact yesterday.
You can check out the fun, as usual, on Facebook Live at:
Jared was off banking, we were all scrambling for parking along the no-parking-for-Thunder Mellwood, and great fun was had regardless of all of that.
Check it out!
