No. 4 Ranked Cardinals Open the Season Saturday

The University of Louisville volleyball fans will get a preview of the 2022 season as the Cardinals host a Red and Black Scrimmage on Aug. 20 at 2:00 in L&N Federal Credit Union Arena on campus.

Admission is free. Tickets are limited at a first come, first served basis.

The Cardinals are coming off an historic year that saw UofL run the table in the regular season going 28-0 and winning the ACC Championship. UofL took its unblemished record into the post season, winning the first two rounds at L&N Arena before hosting the regional at Freedom Hall. The Cardinals emerged from the regional to head to Columbus for the Final Four for the first time in school history.

Louisville volleyball's 2022 schedule will feature 13 home matches, two home tournaments and a match played at the KFC Yum! Center. Fans of the Cardinals will have a chance to set new attendance records as UofL will face rival Notre Dame on Oct. 26 at the KFC Yum! Center.

UofL returns all but two starters to the lineup. Gone are First Team All-Americans Tori Dilfer and Anna Stevenson. The Cardinals return Third Team All-American outside hitter Anna DeBeer and AVCA All-East Region players Aiko Jones, Elena Scott and Amaya Tillman as well as Claire Chaussee to the starting lineup. DeBeer led the team in kills with 343 hitting .257 on the season. Tillman recorded 149 blocks last season with 1.35 blocks per set. Scott, the libero for the Cardinals, led the team in digs with 415. New faces in the race for playing time will be USC transfer Raquel Lazaro at setter, Phekran Kong at middle and with four freshmen in the mix as well. Lazaro was an AVCA All-Pacific South Honorable Mention nominee in 2019 and the 2018 Pac-12 Freshman of the Year.
