The No. 17 Cardinals open the season in France with a top-20 matchup against sixth-ranked UCLA at 2:30 p.m. today. The two programs have never played before and are doing so as participants of the second annual Aflac Oui Play Event.

U of L has won seven of its last eight season openers and is 9-0 when starting the year on the road. The program is coming off its 14th straight 20-win season after a 24-10 campaign last year. This season, the Cardinals are young but have veteran leadership from returners Olivia Cochran and Merissah Russell, in their final year of eligibility, along with Jayda Curry and Nyla Harris.

UCLA made a Sweet 16 appearance with a 27-7 mark during the 2023-24 campaign and returns six players. That includes top scorers Lauren Betts and Kiki Rice.

The Aflac Oui-Play contest between the Cardinals and Bruins will air on ESPN2. Ryan Ruocco and Rebecca Lobo will call the game.

Nick Curran (play-by-play) and Cortnee Walton (analyst) will have the call on the Cardinal Sports Network (WLCL 93.9-FM and WGTK 970-AM in Louisville).
