Recap
Louisville 2 vs Miami 0
It was a nice evening out at Lynn Stadium for ACC soccer as Louisville welcomed the Miami Hurricanes to town. The Cards came out on top 2-0 to make it 8-2-1 all time against the Canes. UofL is now 10-2 on the season, its first 10 win season since 2019 when they went 13-5-2.
UofL scored in the first 16 min in when Grace Maddox connected with Emerson Jennings on a boot into the back of the net. It was beautifully orchestrated pass back to the top of the box and over the Miami goalkeeper. It was Jennings 5th goal of the season.
You can take your pick of which Louisville goal was more poetic as the Cards were able to net another goal before the halftime break when Kiley Peat managed to sneak a rebound through the Miami keeper's legs when she was unable to corral it after a shot attempt from Lizzie Sexton was saved by Emily Bredek.
Miami switched out its goalkeepers for the second half where they still had work cut out for them recording 4 saves on attempts by the Cards. Erynn Floyd recorded 2 saves in the match.
