Louisville field hockey kicked off their first game of the season with a 5-0 win against Indiana University.
Entering this season, No. 12 Louisville had the shortest pre-season in history, giving players only six days to prepare before class started. Given the disadvantage the Cards dominated all four periods of the game shutting out Indiana.
Louisville started off strong with a goal during the first period by senior Bethany Russ.
In the second period Louisville increased their lead over Indiana after Russ scored again with an assist by junior Madison Walsh.
