Cards move up four spots in most recent coaches poll
The University of Louisville field hockey team moved up four spots to No. 8 in the Penn Monto/National Field Hockey Coaches' Association poll released on Sept. 6. The Cardinals opened the season at No. 12 in the preseason poll and have compiled a 4-0 record through the first two weekends of play.
• This marks the 33rd straight week the Cardinals have appeared in the top 20 rankings dating back to the 2013 season. Last season, Louisville spent six weeks in the top 10.
• On Oct. 7, 2014, Louisville appeared at No. 5 in the coaches' poll marking the second top-five appearance in program history with Louisville achieving a program-best No. 4 ranking in the 2002 season.
• All seven ACC teams were included in the NFHCA's top 11. It marks the 35th consecutive poll that the entire league has been ranked, a streak dating back to October 2012.
 The Cardinals are back in action this weekend when they travel to Michigan for a pair of games. Louisville will face Central Michigan Friday at 3 p.m. and Michigan State Sunday at 2 p.m.
