PEACE LACROSSE BLOG: What made you choose Louisville?
CALI BISHOP: Louisville is PERFECT for me. Lacrosse wise, I will be competing for a national championship, in the most competitive conference in women’s lacrosse. Coach Teeter, Renee, and Kay’s vision for the Louisville program, and team culture they have established since replacing the old staff is EXACTLY what I aspire to be apart of. Academically, Louisville offers so many amazing programs to choose from, and the facilities, housing and resources for student athletes is unlike ANY other school.
