University of Louisville head field hockey coach Justine Sowry, along with senior captains Lotta Kahlert and Erin McCrudden and junior Nicole Woods took a break from preseason training to meet with the media Friday afternoon as part of UofL's Fall Sports Media Day.

Sowry and the players previewed the 2016 season, their challenging ACC schedule and discussed USA Field Hockey's exciting performance at the Rio Olympics.
Â
UofL welcomes eight newcomers and returns 15 players including seven starters from last season.The Cardinals finished the 2015 campaign with a 13-7 overall record and made their second-straight NCAA appearance. Louisville was ranked No. 11 in the final Penn Monto/NFHCA National Coaches Poll released on Nov. 10 and spent seven weeks among the top 10 in the nation after opening the 2015 season at No. 12.
