In order for Louisville (31-24, 10-20 ACC) to advance to the ACC Tournament, the Cards needed one of two things to happen this weekend; sweep Florida State, or win the series 2-1 AND a sweep in the Pittsburgh/NC State series. With the loss to the Seminoles on Friday and NC State up 2-0 in the series over the Panthers, the Cards still had a path on Saturday afternoon.
The Wolfpack held up their end of the deal, completing the sweep, but Florida State managed to win just their second ACC series of the year to end the season for Dan McDonnell and Co.
