LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Louisville women's soccer team had five different goal scorers in the match to propel it to a 5-1 victory over IU Indy on Sunday night at Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Stadium.

The win marks the first victory as head coach for Hunter Norton.

"Really proud of our team tonight," said Norton. "I know we were all disappointed with the result on Wednesday and wanted to give a good showing in this game. We couldn't have started any faster or better. We scored some really well-worked goals in the first half to pull away early and continued to be on the front foot throughout the game. Now we have a week before our next game so plenty of time to refine some things and be ready to go again next Sunday!"

After waiting out a 110-minute long lightning delay, Louisville (1-1-0) got out to a hot start as Liza Suydam scored the first goal of the match on a pass from Karina Peat in the opening minute.

Shortly after, Ka. Peat scored a goal of her own in the 12th minute with assists from Liz Eddy and AG Gibson to extend the Cards' lead to 2-0.

Sophomore defender Ella Bard picked up her first career goal in the 17th minute of the contest after converting on a rebound off the initial shot from Suydam.

Amelia Swinarski tallied her first goal of the season in the 22nd minute that was assisted by Ka. Peat who picked up her second assist of the match.

Continuing the high-scoring half, Abby Cox knocked in the first goal of her collegiate career in the 39th minute to put Louisville up 5-0 heading into the break.

Action was limited out of the locker room until IU Indy's (0-2-0) Keilah Muldrow collected its lone goal of the contest. The Cards were unable to put any more goals on the board, giving them a 5-1 victory over the Jaguars.

Louisville will be back in action on Sunday, August 23 to take on the Belmont Bruins. The match is slated to kick off at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ACC Network Extra.
