The strength of our schedule is starting to kick in and is making us mentally tougher, which is all part of the game plan. We knew we would have to take some losses early. The Cards fell 5-2 to Middle Tennessee State last Sunday. The Cards' duo of Easter and McCombe won the No. 1 doubles 8-6. The U of L track and field team will continue outdoor competition at the Ohio University Invite on April 3.
All practices are free and open to the public.
The University of Louisville women's tennis team traveled to Lexington on Friday for their much-anticipated matchup with the No. 18 Kentucky Wildcats. The Wildcats justified their high ranking as they rolled past the Cards 8-1. The Cardinals' only point came in a victory at No. 1 doubles as Manisha Patel and Katie McClaughlin teamed for an 8-6 win over the No. 13 doubles team of Massoumeh Emami and Kelly Brown. The loss dropped Louisville to 11-3 on the season. Before the loss to Kentucky, Louisville was coming off a nice Spring Break in Florida where they grabbed two victories in three matches, with one match against Central Florida rained out.
