Women's Soccer Announces 2015 Schedule
May 14, 2015 | Women's Soccer
The Louisville women's soccer team announced its 2015 schedule, highlighted by five participants in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, including two College Cup participants. The Cardinals will host the reigning national champion, Florida State in Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium for the 2015 season.
Coming off its inaugural season in the ACC, the Cardinals will face another challenging schedule. Louisville's home slate features games against NCAA participants Washington, North Carolina, and national champion Florida State.
"Our 2015 schedule is once again very challenging," said head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes. "We pride ourselves on playing a tremendous nonconference schedule as we feel it helps prepare us for the rigors of the very prestigious ACC Conference as well as the NCAA Tournament. We have an amazing 10 game ACC schedule featuring a stretch in October where we will host UNC, Duke and defending National Champion Florida State, all at Lynn Stadium- the nicest college soccer facility in the country. Our first year in the ACC allowed us to gain valuable experience that we will look to build on in 2015. We are excited for the challenges that we will face."
