Louisville prepping for 2019 campaign
The University of Louisville volleyball team will play three dates in Louisville and travel in-state for another this spring according to head coach Dani Busboom Kelly.
Â
The Cardinals will host Xavier on March 4 at 6 p.m. in Cardinal Arena.  Louisville will then face rival Kentucky on March 29 at 6 p.m. in Cardinal Arena. The Cards will compete in a multi-team tournament at KIVA April 6 beginning at 8 a.m. The final date on the slate is also the only away date as the Cardinals head to play at Morehead State on April 20.
Â
 The Cardinals made their 27th appearance in the NCAA Tournament this season led by ACC Setter of the Year Wilma Rivera and 2017 Defensive Player of the Year Molly Sauer, who were both seniors. Louisville will be led by returning AVCA All-East Region and First Team All ACC Melanie McHenry along with returning starters Piper Roe, Emily Scott, Marijke Van Dyke and Mia Stander. Redshirt freshman Aiko Jones and transfer setter Tori Dilfer will help fill gaps left by departing seniors as the Cards await the arrival of their recruiting class this summer.
