The Cardinals Field Hockey team is off to a great start this year with a 5-3 record, with each loss being against a top-15-ranked team. This is a very impressive showing for the Cardinals as they battled the No. 4 Maryland Terrapins in double overtime and only losing by two goals to the then-top-ranked team in the nation, the Northwestern Wildcats.
It should come as no surprise that the Cardinals are No. 13 in the NFHCA Top-20 because they are led by the Louisville legend Justine Sowry. Under Sowry’s leadership, the Cardinals have 180 wins, three conference titles and nine NCAA tournament appearances in 13 years.
