Cardinals Set for Friday Road Match at Clemson
October 05, 2023 | Men's Soccer
Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on ACC Network Extra.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville men's soccer team is back on the road on Friday for an ACC contest at Clemson. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and will be televised on ACC Network Extra.
ABOUT THE CARDINALS
Louisville got an 89th minute goal from Damien Barker John to secure a 3-2 victory over Kansas City on Monday. Barker John scored twice in the second half and Kansas City netted an own goal as the Cardinals picked up their first comeback victory of the season.
SERIES HISTORY
Louisville and Clemson meet for the 11th time on Friday night with the Tigers narrowly leading the all-time series 5-4-1. The Cardinals are 1-3 all-time in Clemson.
Louisville and Clemson have alternated wins over the last five meetings between the two, with the home team winning all five. Josh Jones scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory for the Cardinals last October.
BARKER JOHN STEPS FORWARD WITH SCORING SURGE
The early portion of the 2023 season saw newcomer Gage Guerra leading the way offensively with six goals in the first five matches. However, the junior forward has not been on the pitch since subbing off in the 64th minute at Evansville due to injury.
In the nearly 300 minutes since then, Damien Barker John has taken over the top goal scoring role, finding the back of the net five times during that span.
Barker John scored late at Evansville, before tallying a brace against NC State and again versus Kansas City. Against Kansas City, the sophomore scored the tying goal in the 70th minute and the game-winner with less than two minutes to play.
CARDINALS ON THE ATTACK EARLY
John Michael Hayden's team has one of the better offensive attacks in the country once again, averaging better than two goals per match.
The Cardinals have been especially good early in matches, having scored first in eight of 10 matches this season. Louisville has gotten on the board in the first 10 minutes of three matches (UNC Greensboro, Kentucky, Virginia Tech) and the first 15 minutes of three others (Bellarmine, Syracuse, NC State).
