Tessa Chad: The stalwart bridge between two eras of lacrosse

By Matt Bradshaw —

Lacrosse faced a staggering 13-1 deficit against No. 5 North Carolina on Senior Day. The Tar Heels dominated possession of the ball and outshot the Cardinals 25-8 by halftime.

Though staring down their fourth straight loss, Louisville continued fighting. The Cards outshot and outscored the visitors in the second half, spurred by a team-high eight shots from senior Tessa Chad. She finished with her ninth hat trick of the season to lead the team in scoring in the 17-6 loss.

Chad’s resilience goes beyond her performance on Senior Day, as demonstrated throughout her collegiate career.
