DURHAM, N.C. – The University of Louisville men's soccer team continues conference play as they travel to No. 16 Duke for a Friday night match at Koskinen Stadium. The game will kick off at 7 p.m. ET on ACCNX.
The Cardinals (5-2-1, 1-2 ACC) enter the contest following a 2-2 draw against No. 18 Kentucky on Tuesday.

Freshmen Parham and Quinton Wilson, along with sophomores Michael Lee and Noah De Blasis, have also provided early scoring depth.
Duke (4-0-3, 1-0-1 ACC) remains unbeaten through seven matches, including a 2-0 conference victory over Syracuse. The Blue Devils are led by Kenan Hot (four goals, two assists) and Alessandro Arlotti (three goals, four assists), who pace a balanced attack averaging 2.43 goals per game.
Louisville leads the all-time series 5-3-1, but has suffered two losses in the last two matches between the teams. The Cardinals are 2-1-1 in matches played in Durham.
