The University of Louisville Volleyball team will be on the road this weekend for a pair of ACC rematches with the Boston College Eagles and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The Cards will play in Chestnut Hill against Boston College on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and will then travel to Winston-Salem to take on Wake Forest on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
The Cardinals currently sit at 18-7 overall, with an ACC conference mark of 11-3. Last week at Cardinal Arena, UofL pulled out a 3-1 (21-25, 25-20, 25-19, 25-22) win over Miami on Friday, before falling 3-1 (25-27, 16-25, 25-21, 23-25) to Florida State the following Sunday.
On offense, junior Melanie McHenry continues to lead the Cards in kills with 311, despite being injured for the last two matches. Freshman Claire Chaussee stepped in for the injured McHenry and racked up 31 kills in two matches. Senior Amanda Green and Junior Megan Sloan have also picked up 255 and 225 kills, respectively. Defensively, senior Molly Sauer has carried the team thus far with a team-high 402 digs, while freshman Emily Scott continues to make her mark in her first year, leading the team with 79 total blocks.
