No. 13 Louisville (9-1-3, 3-0-3) is back on the patch after nearly two weeks off, having last played a match at Clemson on October 10. The Cardinals battled to a 1-1, rain-soaked draw with the Tigers, extending their program best unbeaten streak to 12 consecutive contests. Brooklyn Lee was the lone Cardinal to score in the match, netting her second goal of the season in the 80th minute. Clemson tied the match in the 85th minute to push the match to a draw.
After the bye week, the rested Cardinals' stock took another trip up the rankings ladder, moving to No. 13 in the United Soccer Coaches' Poll and No. 14 in the TopDrawer Soccer poll. The move marks UofL's highest ranking in each poll this season.
Louisville is tied for fourth in the ACC standings with Duke and Virginia with 12 points each. The group is just one point out of the two-way tie for second place (Notre Dame and Wake Forest) and is three points behind the leader, North Carolina.
The Cardinals and Orange have faced off 10 times in series history. Louisville is undefeated against Syracuse and have outscored the Orange 18-2. UofL has scored multiple goals in seven of the 10 meetings, including each of the last four.
