LOUISVILLE, KY - Sophomore Mandy Rost scored the game's only goal as the University of Louisville defeated Memphis 1-0 in Conference USA women's soccer action Friday night at Cardinal Park.
With the win, Louisville improves to 3-4-1 overall and 1-1-1 in Conference USA. Memphis drops to 4-3-1 and 1-2-0.
Rost broke open the scoreless game in the 72nd minute when she controlled a shot deflection and found the back of the net for her first goal of the season. Sophomore Lisa Martin was credited with the assist for the Cardinals.
"Tonight was a total team effort," said head coach Karen Ferguson. "We played for the entire 90 minutes and it was a well-deserved win."
Memphis outshot Louisville 11-10, but sophomore keeper Meredith Miller came up with six saves for the Cardinals as she recorded her second shutout of the season. The Tigers' Katarina Wicksell had five saves in goal.
Louisville returns to action Sunday when it plays host to TCU at Cardinal Park. Game time is scheduled for 2 p.m.
