Head coach Ken Lolla, seniors Tim Kubel and Mohamed Thiaw and junior Tate Schmitt visited with the media in advance of Friday's season-opener against UC Irvine, which is set to kick off at 7:30 p.m., ET at Lynn Stadium. Monday's schedule began with a morning training session at Cardinal Park and was followed by the news conference.Â
Under the guidance of Lolla, who is in his 12th season at the helm at UofL, the Cardinals enter their fourth season in the ACC paced by the return of Kubel (All-American defender), Thiaw (All-ACC forward) and All-ACC midfielder Geoffrey Dee. Louisville's 2017 squad returns seven players with at least 12 starts from last year's team, which finished second in the ACC Atlantic, advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Championship for the fourth time in seven seasons and ended the year ranked No. 6 in the nation.
Ranked No. 9 in the United Soccer Coaches preseason poll, the Cardinals will open the season with back-to-back home matches at Lynn Stadium as they will follow Friday's match with a home contest against No. 25 Butler on Monday, Aug. 28 at 7:30 p.m. All 10 regular season matches at Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium this season will be televised on ACC Network Extra, available on WatchESPN.
