Backing Coach Monique Reid and the Lady Knights
Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers is committing $10,000 in NIL support to the Bellarmine University Women’s Basketball program for the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The commitment follows a conversation with head coach Monique Reid and several players about the program’s goals and where it is headed.
A Program Built Around Louisville Roots
Coach Reid knows this city. She is a Louisville native, a University of Louisville Athletics Hall of Famer, and one of the most decorated professional players to come out of Kentucky. She played a decade overseas, winning championships and scoring titles across ten countries, before returning to Louisville and joining the Bellarmine staff. She was named head coach in April 2025.
The program set new Division I-era records last season, including 18 wins, its first-ever ASUN Tournament victory, and a six-game winning streak. Women’s sports are growing quickly in Louisville, and this commitment is one part of supporting that growth directly.
“These guys really took care of me. They got me paid out a lot more than what I thought I would receive. They were really friendly and answered all my questions. I have nothing but good things to say about this law firm.”
– Michael W.
