Florek, Hall Lead Louisville to 12-9 Win Over No. 24 Colorado
February 18, 2021 | Women's Lacrosse
Ally Hall led the Cardinals with four goals and an assist in the win.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville women's lacrosse came out strong in the first half and held on to beat No. 24 Colorado 12-9 on Thursday afternoon.
With the win, the Cardinals move to 1-1 on the season, while the Buffaloes drop their opener.
"I thought we got off to an excellent start and we had answers whenever Colorado made a push, we always answered right back," said head coach Scott Teeter. "Colorado is a great team, they are nationally ranked for a reason. We found a way to win today and we just need to build off of this."
Louisville got on the scoreboard first for the second game in a row when Caroline Blalock found the back of the net just a minute and a half into the game. The score then went back and forth early as the two teams alternated leads midway into the first half.
The Cardinals took a 4-3 lead on a goal by Hannah Morris with 17:12 left in the first half and finished the first stanza on a 5-1 run to take an 8-4 lead into the break. Ally Hall led UofL in the first half, scoring three goals for her first hat trick of the season.
Louisville continued the pressure to start the second half, as Hall and Caroline Blalock both netted goals to build the lead to 10-4 with 27:04 to go.
Colorado mounted a comeback scoring four straight goals to trim UofL's lead to two, but the Cardinals attack remained strong as Caroline Blalock and Alex McNicholas scored a goal each to build the lead back up to 12-8 with 11:01 remaining in the game.
The Buffaloes got into the scoring column one more time in the final 10 minutes, but the Cardinals went on to a 12-9 win.
Hall led the Cardinals with four goals and one assist, while Caroline Blalock added a hat trick of her own. Morris and Kylea Dobson added two goals each and McNicholas finished one.
Goalkeeper Rachel Florek finished the game with nine saves.
The Cardinals snapped a 24-game losing streak against ranked opponents with the upset. Their last win over a ranked team was a 9-8 victory against No. 7 Syracuse on April 22, 2017.
Louisville is back in action on Sunday, Feb. 28 at 12 p.m. as they host Notre Dame for its first ACC contest of the season.
