"I am excited to introduce seven well-rounded, respected, and hard working young women to the 2011 Louisville Field Hockey roster," said Sowry. "This incoming group is extremely balanced, athletic, and versatile. With the ability to play multiple positions on the field hockey pitch, these incoming freshmen will give the 2011 squad great depth and flexibility.
"Even though the program has just undergone a recent coaching transition, it is evident these student-athletes are motivated and committed to being a part of the Cardinal program.

"I am excited to begin the next chapter in Louisville Field Hockey history. As we forge ahead, together we will look to create our own identity, set specific goals, and embrace a new beginning.
