Cardinals Open Season with 16-11 Win at Cincinnati
February 09, 2020 | Women's Lacrosse
Three Cardinals recorded hat tricks in the season opener.
CINCINNATI, Ohio - Ally Hall led the Cardinals with four goals, while Allegra Catalano and Hannah Morris both recorded hat tricks in Louisville's season-opening 16-11 win at Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon.
Â
"I'm pretty happy with the overall effort today and I thought we competed for 60 minutes," said head coach Scott Teeter. "We know we have a lot of players who can put the ball in the back of the net and we just have to find them and spread the ball around."
Â
The Bearcats opened scoring early in the first half, but Hall quickly responded with a free position goal for the equalizer. From there, Louisville scored the next three goals while Rachel Florek held the Bearcats without a goal for 15 minutes.
Â
Caroline Blalock, Catalano, and Hall netted two goals apiece as Louisville went into halftime with an 8-4 advantage over Cincinnati.
Â
Louisville came out of the break on a 4-0 run as Catalano completed the hat trick in her debut as a Cardinal. Hall netted back-to-back goals to extend the Cardinals' lead to eight, and Hannah Morris added three goals of her own during the second half.
Â
UofL's defense continued to apply pressure and limited the Bearcats to only one shot during the opening 14 minutes of the second half. Despite Cincinnati outscoring the Cardinals 5-2 in the final 10 minutes, Louisville held on for a 16-11 win.
Â
Eight Cardinals recorded goals and Izzy Holmes had a team-high three assists. Florek finished the game with nine saves on 22 shots.
Â
Louisville returns to action as they host Denver for the home opener on Saturday, Feb. 15 at noon.
