The Hokies return home this weekend to host No. 10 Louisville after playing their last three games on the road. Tech had the midweek off after its Spring Break road trip, and will look to bounce back in league play after falling at No. 17 Notre Dame over the weekend. Louisville enters the weekend at 6-2 on the year but has yet to top an ACC opponent in two attempts. Most recently, the Cardinals topped Vanderbilt on Wednesday, 16-9, at home. Louisville is led by Kaylin Morrissette, who has 30 goals on the year and has also won 88 draw controls.
THE SERIES
The Hokies and Cardinals have met just two times in each program’s history. Louisville claimed both games, taking the most recent meeting at home, 14-8 in 2009. The two teams first met in 2008 in Blacksburg. This is the first time the Cardinals have been ranked in the series, coming into the week at No. 10.
LAST TIME OUT
The Hokies headed north for Spring Break this year and came home 1-1 on the week. Tech picked up a big overtime win at Michigan on Wednesday night, before falling No. 17 Notre Dame Saturday afternoon.
The overtime win was a huge night for senior Meg Bartley as she broke the all-time draw controls record at Tech when she won the first draw of the second session of overtime. As if the record wasn’t big enough, it was Bartley that put away the game-winner with .2 second remaining in overtime.
Tech went down 6-1 to open the game, but battled back to take a 7-6 lead into the halftime break. Play went back and forth for much of the second half. It looked like Tech was going to take the late lead in regulation but the goal was called back for an illegal stick. Michigan was able to capitalize less than a minute later, but the late heroics of Megan Will with 26.6 on the clock kept the Hokies alive and forced overtime.
HOKIES IN OVERTIME
Tech is 5-1 all-time in overtime games following the victory at Michigan. The Hokies are 2-0 in overtime under Head Coach Megan Burker, with the other win coming in 2012 when Tech knocked off then-No. 7 Virginia at home.
IT’S HERS TO SET
Meg Bartley became Tech’s all-time career draw controls leader after winning the opening draw of the second session of overtime in Tech’s win at Michigan. Bartley finished the game with six draws, and currently has 247 in her career. The Lewes, Delaware, native also holds the single-season record after propelling herself to 90 with a career-high 10 in the final game of the 2014 season.
RECORD WATCH
Megan Will is quickly climbing the all-time charts at Tech, chasing her cousin, Dawn Will, who sits atop the career goals and points lists. Megan currently ranks second with 153 career goals and 197 career points. She is also seventh all-time at Tech with 44 career assists.
Will is one of just three players to rank among the all-time top 10 in all three offensive categories (Allie Emala 08-11, Catherine Augustyn 96-99).
Meghan Macera recently joined Meg Bartley on the all-time draws list, as she has won 113 so far, good for seventh.
