CINCINNATI, Ohio – The University of Louisville women's lacrosse team (2-4, 1-1 ACC) will travel to Cincinnati to play the Bearcats (5-2, 0-0 AAC) in a Wednesday afternoon match-up. The opening draw will take place at 12 p.m. ET at Nippert Stadium.
The Cardinals look to build off of Saturday's 19-11 win at Pitt, their first ACC victory of the season. Kokoro Nakazawa tallied a career-high five goals and a career-high three assists while Negai Nakazawa recorded a career-high four goals on just four shots. Seven Cards scored on the afternoon with additional multiple goal showings by Nicole Perroni (4), Allegra Catalano (2), and Kylea Dobson (2).

Louisville is 15-1 all-time against Cincinnati, suffering its first loss of the series in an intense overtime battle last season, 12-13 (OT). The Cardinals are 8-0 at Nippert Stadium. The two teams have played each other every year since the program's inaugural season in 2008, tying for the longest series in Louisville lacrosse history.
