Louisville Releases 2020 Lacrosse Schedule

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville lacrosse head coach Scott Teeter announced the 2020 schedule, which features games against seven 2019 NCAA Tournament teams and nine contests at UofL Lacrosse Stadium.

"We are very excited about the upcoming season and believe that our challenging non-conference schedule will help us prepare for the gauntlet that is the Atlantic Coast Conference," said Teeter. "We had a really good fall and are anxious to get the season started."

The Cardinals will be led by their four captains, juniors Caroline Blalock, Ally Hall and Alex McNicholas, along with senior Brenna Shanahan.

Last season, Shanahan led the team with 14 assists and was named IWLCA Academic Honor Roll, while Blalock, Hall and McNicholas were all named to the ACC All-Academic Team. Following her freshman season, Blalock was named All-ACC Second Team after leading the team with 43 goals.
