🔵 The Official Daily Newsletter For Kentucky Athletics

Good morning. When we said “get your head in the game” we didn’t expect our very own Mia Bookhard to take it literally. (But we’re very glad she did.) Check out her header against Marshall in last weekend’s match.

What else are we mixing into today’s Brew?

🔼 Onto The Next. After splitting their two exhibition games this past weekend, Kentucky women’s soccer is ready for the regular season. (And so are we!) Maggy Henschler and Marzia Josephson sat down with BBN Tonight and went over the progress they’ve made so far and celebrated all the love fans have given them leading up to kickoff against Eastern Kentucky on Thursday night at 7:30pm ET.

🔼 Reunited And It Feels So Good. There’s nothing better than being able to work with an old friend again, is there? Kentucky swimming & diving head coach Bret Lundgaard called up Robin Boughey—his former colleague at Princeton—to join the Wildcats as Associate Coach of Swim & Dive Performance.

Robin Boughey spent six seasons coaching at Princeton and 15 years in Knoxville, Tennessee working as a Sports Therapist/Consultant at the University of Tennessee while also running her own sports therapy and fitness business in the city.
