Two members of the University of Louisville
women’s basketball program have left the
team, according to a school release.
Sophomore guard Rachel Story and
freshman forward Polly Harrington – who
both saw limited minutes for the Cardinals
– will transfer.
“I have enjoyed coaching both Rachel and
Polly here at Louisville,” U of L coach Jeff
Walz said. “They are both talented young
women that have a lot of great
opportunities ahead of them. They will
always be a part of our basketball family
and we wish them nothing but success.”
The 5-foot-7 Story, a native of Milwaukee,
saw action in 51 games during her two
seasons in the program. She averaged
11.2 minutes as a freshman and 5.6 as a
sophomore, scoring 66 points as a
freshman and just 14 this season.
The 6-foot Harrington was the only
member of the six-player top-five
recruiting class for U of L last season not
ranked in the ESPN HoopGurlz top 100.
She played in 16 games, averaging 5.1
minutes and just 1.8 point.
Walz is still recruiting at least three players
to fill the roster spots. McDonald’s All-
American Bria Smith will visit U of L on
Wednesday and then head to Tennessee.
She is the No. 8 player nationally in the
HoopGurlz rankings.U of L is also in the
mix for French pointguard Monny Esther
Niamke and Jude Schimmel, the younger
sister of freshman Shoni Schimmel.
