NEWTON, Mass. – The University of Louisville field hockey team lost 2-1 in a shootout at Boston College Sunday afternoon in the Cardinals' final road game of the regular season.

Louisville (7-9, 1-6, ACC) will wrap up the regular season on Saturday when the Cardinals play host to No. 9 Syracuse.

In the tightly contested game, Boston College outshot the Cardinals 23-17 while Louisville held a 10-8 edge in shots on goal. The Eagles also had a 10-3 advantage in penalty corners, including three in the overtime periods. Emily Young collected seven saves for Louisville and BC's Charlotte Kramer finished the game with nine stops. A total of eight cards, five green and three yellow, were issued between the two teams throughout regulation

Louisville attacked early in the opening quarter firing off five shots – three on goal - and earning a pair of corners in the first 14 minutes before breaking through with seven seconds left in the frame. Senior Rylie Wollerton gained possession of the ball near the Eagles' side of the 50-yard line and sent a long feed to junior Lauren Masters, who entered the circle and dodged a defender before directing a shot toward the cage, finding redshirt sophomore Aubreigh Uba who connected on her second goal of the season to give the Cards a 1-0 lead.

The Eagles (6-10, 1-7) evened the score midway through the second quarter after earning their first corner of the game which resulted in a goal by Madelieve Drion.

The teams entered halftime tied at 1-1 despite Louisville holding a 7-3 advantage in shots on goal and a 3-1 edge in penalty corners. Young posted two first half saves with Kramer turning back five shots in the first half.

The third quarter saw Boston College gain momentum as the Eagles outshot Louisville 9-3 and owned a 6-0 advantage in penalty corners, but the Cardinals' defense weathered the attack. Neither team was able to register a shot or earn a corner in the fourth quarter with much of the action taking place in the midfield.

With the score still knotted at 1-1, the teams continued to battle through two 10-minute 7v7 overtime periods. Both teams generated scoring opportunities but were unable to capitalize as BC held the edge in shots (9-3) and corners (3-0).

The contest entered a best-of-five shootout which saw the Eagles prevail 3-1 with Masters convert on her attempt for the Cardinals.

"We came out firing and had plenty of opportunities to put multiple goals on the board in the first quarter," said UofL head coach Justine Sowry. "That is when you have to strike. BC is a fast transitional team and we let them into the game. Tough way to lose but our fate is still in our hands."
