Cardinals set to open 2017 campaign on Friday night at Lynn Stadium
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The University of Louisville women's soccer team will open the 2017 season on Friday, Aug. 18 against Boston University at 7:30 p.m. at Lynn Stadium. The Cardinals will then Miami (OH) on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. in Lynn Stadium to wrap up the weekend.
Louisville enters the 2017 season with 10 returning starters and eight newcomers. The Cardinals were a strong defensive team last season and will continue that tradition this season. With a year under the belt, the Louisville attack should be much improved with sophomores Brooklynn Rivers, Sarah Feola and Allison Whitfield.
The midfield will have a slightly different look as senior Alison Price will move to a more attacking role for the Cardinals. Redshirt freshman Gabrielle Kouzelos will rely on her national team experience as she moves into the starting keeper role.
