The Louisville women’s lacrosse team may lack collegiate experience, but they do not lack grit, composure or confidence.
This was evident in their season opener against the No. 15 Denver Pioneers.
Coming into the game, little was expected of the Cardinals. The program had just graduated key players such as Nicole Perroni and Kokoro Nakazawa, both of whom were leaders on and off the field.
With eleven incoming freshmen, some of whom made their collegiate debut against the top-20 ranked Denver team, Louisville was simply playing for themselves.
