Women's Soccer Cards scalped by Noles 6-0 -- FRIDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

The fifth-ranked Florida State (9-1-0, 2-0-0 ACC) soccer  team defeated Louisville 6-0 in Talahassee last night. (4-5-0, 1-1-0 ACC) 6-0 on Thursday night at the Seminole Soccer Complex. The Cardinals  The Cards were held to a season low with one shot in the match.  Florida State had 21. Florida State held most of the possession in the first half fwhich paid off with a goal by Megan CampbellMegan Campbell in the 16th minute of play.  The Cardinal defense held tight and Cardinal keeper Paige Brown collected four saves in the first half. Florida State held a 10-0 shot advantage in the first half.   They also held a 3-1 corner kick advantage. Could the Louisville defense keep the opportunistic FSU  offense out of the goal in the final 45 minutes and find a way to break through the iron curtain  the Noles were representing with their back four?  Sadly it didn't happen for Louisville Cheyna Williams scored two goals in the first three  minutes of the second half to break the game  open for the Seminoles.  The Seminoles continued  to dominate possession and control the clock  throughout the second half.  Brown finished with a season-high six saves.  She needed 14 more. A first test against one of the elite ACC women's  soccer teams and a tutorial on what it will take to climb onto that top rung of the ladder.  The Seminoles seemed a step quicker, were organized in their offensive attack and had little  trouble breaking up any Cardinal attempt to move to the goal. We've said it many times  this season and we'll repeat it again. This is a very young squad Karen Ferguson Dayes  coaches...with 12 freshman on the roster.  The question is...does Louisville learn and  improve from this slaughter on national television or do they sink even further down as the stakes  and the opponent level increases? The Cardinals will continue road play at Miami  on Sunday, Sept. 28 at 1:00 p.m.           *                     *       Louisville Volleyball gets the ACC slate  started tonight with a 7 p.m. match against Boston College. The Eagles are  5-6 on the season. The Cards ran the table in the AAC last year (18-0) but  the odds are astronomical that they can do that in the tougher ACC.  Maya McClendon and Janelle Jenkins lead Louisville in kills this season.  paulie
