Volleyball began the 2018 regular season with a sweep (25-7, 25-17, 25-12) of UT-Martin in the Cardinal Classic. The Cardinals face Southern Illinois tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Cardinal Arena for their second match of the classic.
Sophomore Melanie McHenry and redshirt junior Amanda Green led the offensive side with nine kills each. Seniors Wilma Rivera and Molly Sauer combined for eight service aces.
Louisville shot out to an early 10-2 lead in the first set, powered by the serving of Rivera and Sauer. The Cards kept up the pressure with block after block as the Skyhawks faltered when faced with Lousville’s height and depth.
