For the first time in program history, Jeff Walz’s Louisville Cardinals are the No. 1 team in America.
U of L sits at No. 1 in this week’s AP top 25 poll, receiving 20 of the possible 29 first-place votes. The Cards overtake previous No. 1 Stanford, which lost in overtime to Colorado on Sunday.
“It’s a great honor,” Walz said in a statement. “Obviously it doesn’t do you anything come March, but it’s something that we’re proud of, because we have sustained something here for 14 years. It’s been a lot of hard work and we’ve had a lot of great players and a great staff.
