"We had a lot of great individual performances tonight, but we need to turn our individual performances into a great team performance," noted Cardinal Head Coach Karen Ferguson.

Rachel Sanders tallied her third goal of he season at the 73:55 mark, upping the advantage to 3-0 for the Bobcats.

Louisville was outshot 24-6 in the match. Regular Cardinal keeper Meredith Miller missed her second consecutive match due to injury and freshman Lyndsay Seibert filled in with her second consecutive start, making nine saves and keeping the Cards close.
