TicketsLOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Cincinnati lacrosse team was unable to overcome a low-scoring first half and lost a 13-5 nonconference matchup at No. 23 Louisville on Monday afternoon at UofL Lacrosse Stadium.
The Bearcats (1-2) scored their first goal with 4:17 left in the first half on Kylie Nause's eighth brace of the season. Nause finished with two goals on the day.
The Cardinals (2-1) started off with a 5-0 lead and the Bearcats pulled it down to three at 8-5 with 14:27 left in the game, but the UC offense was stonewalled for the final segment of the game. UC's offense fired off 25 shots on the day but ran into a buzzsaw in the form of UofL goalkeeper Rachel Florek who made 15 saves in the game.
