TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The University of Louisville women's soccer team dropped its road contest to No. 7 Florida State, 5-1, Thursday night at the Seminole Soccer Complex.

Whitsett has been involved in 8 of the 10 goals scored by the Cardinals this season.
Just before the half, Louisville saw a chance to tie the match with a shot on goal by Karsyn Cherry but it was saved by Florida State's goalkeeper.
Florida State pulled away in the second half, scoring three goals to secure the win.
The Cardinals will finish off the week road swing on Sunday with another ranked matchup. The Cardinals will travel to Charlottesville to square off with the second ranked Cavaliers. Louisville and Virginia will face off at 2 p.m. ET and it will be aired on the ACC Network Extra.
