Cardinals Fall 2-1 on the Road to Ole Miss
September 13, 2015 | Women's Soccer
Cards fall in tightly contested road match
LOUISVILLE, KY. - The University of Louisville women's soccer team fell 2-1 to Ole Miss in a tightly contested match on Sunday afternoon in Oxford, Miss. The Rebels scored the game-winner in the 83rd minute and the Cardinals were unable to find the equalizer in the final minutes, falling to 3-3-2 on the season. Â
"Today we are disappointed with the loss on the road at Ole Miss," said head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes. "For long stretches of the game we played very well and were able to battle back from a goal down but couldn't find a way to score the second. There are a lot of positives moving forward and we will certainly learn from our mistakes but now we must set our focus on Boston College and the start of our ACC schedule."
The game started with back and forth play, both teams getting shots on goal in the early minutes. Louisville's best chance of the half was a header shot from Alison Price off a corner kick in the 14th minute but the Ole Miss defense was able to block the shot.Â
Twenty minutes into the match and the Ole Miss offense was able to keep possession for long periods and it eventually paid off for the Rebels. Ole Miss scored in the 34th minute to take a 1-0 lead over the Cardinals. The Cardinals had a shot by Price that was saved by the Rebels' keeper in the 35th minute but could not find the equalizer in the first half.Â
Ole Miss held a 6-3 shot advantage in the first half and a 5-4 corner kick advantage. Louisville keeper Paige Brown finished with two saves while Marnie Merritt finished with two saves.Â
Louisville was able to apply offensive pressure in the second half. Twenty minutes into the half the pressure paid off for the Cardinals. Rachel Avant had a shot in the 64th minute but the ball was saved and the Cards earned a corner kick. Victoria Martinis took the corner sending it into the box where Casey Whitfield sent a shot into the goal from just a few yards out for the equalizer.Â
Louisville continued to look for another goal as Whitfield had another shot on goal a minute later but Merritt was able to make the save. She had another one in the 79th minute but the shot was saved. The Rebels then came down the field with a shot of their own but Brown was able to grab the save. Then two minutes later Ole Miss struck again to go up 2-1 in the 83rd minute.Â
Louisville pressed forward in the final seven minutes, trying to score the equalizer. Martinis had the best shot with 10 seconds remaining but Merritt came up with the save to secure the win for Ole Miss. Â
Ole Miss finished the match with a 14-8 shot advantage while both teams finished with five corner kicks. Both teams finished with seven shots on goal while Brown finished with five saves and Merritt finished with six.Â
The Cardinals will be back in action next Sunday as they open up ACC play at Boston College at noon.
