Milwaukee, Wis. - Louisville freshman Nathan Stevens scored in the 37th minute to (8-4, 1-0 C-USA) score the match's only goal to defeat No. 19 Marquette (7-3-2, 1-2 C-USA), 1-0, in men's college soccer on Wednesday night.
The goal came as Marquette turned the ball over deep in their end. As Marquette goalkeeper Adam Ubert scrambled back to his line, Louisville midfielder Stuart Langrish served the ball to Stevens who hit the volley into the net from seven yards out.
In a match that had only 12 shots, eight by Marquette, four by Louisville and only five on goal, play was dictated in the midfield. Louisville was able to hold on to their one goal advantage obtained in the first half.
"Their game plan was to sag and apply intense pressure, which limits your opportunities when you have to go through their whole team," Marquette head coach Steve Adlard said.
The shutout was the seventh of the season for the Cardinals. Louisville will be back in action on Saturday as they travel to Memphis to take on the Tigers.
