ASU is 2-5 in Southern Conference play.		    Most teams are not very hopeful when they play a team that is nationally ranked in the top 10.
   The Appalachian State University women’s field hockey team held onto a little hope, however, as national powerhouse University of Louisville rolled into town Sunday.
   The Mountaineers (2-5) held their own for most of the first frame of play, but the Cardinals (4-3) struck fast and hard toward the end of the half. With just inside 12 minutes remaining, a stealth run down the right side and assist by Olivia Netzler led to a Joanie Frame goal putting Louisville up 1-0.
