Strong Second Half Pushes Louisville to 16-9 Win at Cincinnati
March 09, 2022 | Women's Lacrosse
Caroline Blalock finished with three goals and a career-high five assists to lead the Cardinals.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville lacrosse trailed 2-0 early, but got the lead at the end of the first quarter and never trailed again in a 16-9 win at Cincinnati on Wednesday afternoon.
With the win, the Cardinals improve to 5-3 on the year, while the Bearcats fall to 3-5.
"There were a lot of positives in tonight's game," said head coach Scott Teeter. "It was good to get everyone in the game. I thought we competed really hard for 60 minutes and we won all four quarters."
Trailing 2-0 just under five minutes into the game, Louisville rallied off four straight goals from Caroline Blalock, Nicole Perroni and two from Allegra Catalano to take a 4-2 lead at the beginning of the second quarter.
Â
The Bearcats then scored two consecutive goals to even the score at 4-4 before the Cardinals ended the half on a 7-3 run to take an 11-7 lead into halftime.
Â
The surge continued after both teams returned from the locker room as Louisville scored the first four goals of a third quarter to build a 15-7 cushion and cruised to the 16-9 win.
Â
Caroline Blalock finished with three goals and a career-high five assists to lead the Cardinals. Her five assists are tied for fourth all-time in Louisville program history, while her eight points are tied for fifth.
Â
Catalano added four goals on four shots to tie her career-high, while Perroni finished with three goals on four shots and Kylea Dobson had three goals on five shots. Tiffany Natoli had two goals on three shots.
Â
Combined the quintet finished with 15 goals on just 21 shots. Overall, the Cardinals had 16 goals on 30 shots. Louisville had 22 shots on goal to Cincinnati's 17.
Â
Louisville returns to Atlantic Coast Conference play when they travel to play at North Carolina on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
