This weekend a tough early season test for three UofL women's sports squads.
FIELD HOCKEY brings in an improved IU squad on Friday that is 4-1 with a win over ranked Miami (OH). Then, on Sunday, #11 Liberty comes to Trager as the #11 team in the nation, barely losing to a very good Northwestern squad and demolishing three schools out west to start the season. The Cards FH program is #6 in the nation.
VOLLEYBALL will have their hands full up in Cincinnati, first facing Purdue, a perennial top 10 program and then Cincinnati, who has rebuilt nicely and took down Notre Dame in South Bend
WOMEN'S SOCCER is at Lynn for their next match -- they'll put their 4-1 record up against a Michigan squad that is 5-1 and #16 in DI rankings. It'is interesting that the ACC has four of the top five ranked teams in DI Women's soccer -- #1 FSU, #2 UNC, #3 VA and #5 Duke. Looks like no easy rides in conference play this year for Cards WSOC.
Good luck to all three squads this weekend!
