LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes and the University of Louisville women's soccer program has released its schedule for the upcoming 2023 season.

Louisville will have a road scrimmage at Miami (OH) on Sunday, August 6 before opening the season at home. The regular season opener will be against Indiana State on Thursday, August 17 at 7:30 p.m. ET and Lynn Stadium.
