Louisville women's soccer got goals from Mackenzie Geigle, Karsyn Cherry and Fina Davy, plus two assists from Emma Kate Schroll in their Sunday night win over Alabama-Birmingham 3-1 at Lynn Stadium. 

Louisville never trailed in the contest and got on the board first when Mackenzie Geigle got a nice feed from Emma Hate Schroll and got a shot past UAB goalie Anika Toht to give the Cards the 1-0 lead with 26:03 gone in the first half of action. The score would be the only goal in the first 45 minutes, the Cards defense doing an exemplary job on the UAB offense and allowing no first half shots by the Blazers. Geigle's score was her second of the season

Louisville increased the lead to 2-0 22 minutes into the second half when Schroll set up Karsyn Cherry for the score.  it was Schroll's second assist of the night and Cherry's second goal of the season. 

13 minutes later, with 79:49 gone in the game, freshman Fina Davy scored her first goal of the game and in her career on an assist from sophomore Miami transfer Gianna Angellilo. It would be the Cards final score of the evening. About a minute later, the Blazers drew a penalty kick opportunity, and got their lone goal of the game. 

It was a game dominated by Louisville offensively. The Cards outshot UAB 11-2 and had a 5-2 shots on goal edge. The Cards did have six offsides calls though, where UAB was just flagged  for two. 

We caught up with Emma Kate Schroll post game for some remarks (and an impromptu "Crashing of the interview" by Coach Karen Ferguson Dayes, as you'll see). Coach did not do a post game with us, no problems or anything, she felt that Emma pretty well summed up the action. She was quite hppy about the win, and Case and I decided to let her enjoy her celevraton with the team, insteaad of interviewing her. And "KFD" was in full agreement
