LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville men's soccer team closes out a four-match homestand against Milwaukee 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 turned in a 2-2 draw against Evansville last Wednesday in its most-recent contest. Elijah Brijbasi netted his first collegiate goal and Gage Guerra converted a penalty kick in the 89th minute to secure the tie.
The Cardinals have drawn four of their last seven matches dating back to Sept. 20. The four draws this season are the most since 2017, when they finished with a program-record five.
SERIES HISTORY
Louisville and Milwaukee have three all-time meetings with the Cardinals holding a 1-2-0 record in the series. The two sides have not met in this millennium though, last taking the pitch against each other in 1999.
NOTING THE CARDINALS
GUERRA PUTTING TOGETHER SECOND HALF SCORING BINGE
Senior forward Gage Guerra entered the season as one of the best goal-scorers in the country and then got off to a hot start with tallies in each of the first two matches. However, he then went the next six matches without finding the back of the net.
Guerra put an end to his scoring drought on Sept. 29 at Boston College and has been rolling ever since. The Houston native then scored twice at Cal before missing the Lipscomb match, and has converted penalty kicks in each of the last two matches versus Clemson and Evansville. He has scored in each of his last four matches and has a chance to become the first Louisville player to score in five straight since at least 2001.
Guerra is now up to 29 career goals, tied for the 10th-most in Division I among active players.
LEWIS LEADING THE CARDINALS FROM THE MIDFIELD
On a roster that features 11 juniors, seniors and graduate students, it's a true freshman that leads the Cardinals in time on the pitch.
Freshman midfielder Jack Lewis leads Louisville this season with 1,040 minutes played and is one of just five players to appear in all 13 matches and one of three to start at least 12 of those.
In his first season with the Cardinals, Lewis has teamed up with JP Jordan centrally in the midfield and contributed a goal, three assists and five points total. His goal was a game-winner against Bellarmine, while he also assisted on a late winner at Kentucky.
