LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville men's soccer team hosts Ohio State on Tuesday night at Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and will be televised on ACC Network Extra.
ABOUT THE CARDINALS
Louisville suffered a 4-0 defeat at Clemson on Friday night. The loss was the largest of the season for the Cardinals, who were shut out for just the second time this year.
SERIES HISTORY
Louisville and Ohio State tangle for the 22nd time on Tuesday night. Ohio State holds a slim 9-8-4 advantage in the series, but the Cardinals are 7-3-2 all-time against the Buckeyes in Louisville.
The two teams played every year from 2010-16 but have not met since 2016. Louisville defeated Ohio State 2-1 in October of 2016, getting goals from Mohamed Thiaw and Cherif Dieye in the win.
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 that followed, Damien Barker John took 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 11 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).
