A nice win Saturday for Louisville women's soccer over Wake Forest at Lynn Stadium.
The contest ended regulation in a 1-1 tie., so a golden goal overtime was necessary. Emma Hiscock rebounded her own shot and scored in the 99th minute to push University of Louisville women’s soccer to a 2-1 win .
With the win, Louisville improves to 7-2-1 on the year and 3-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play, while Wake Forest falls to 10-2 and 2-2 in league play.
Post game with the goal-scoring winner: “I think our team just battled hard and everyone gave everything they had and it showed with the result at the end,” said Hiscock following her game-winner.
Louisville’s best opportunity in the first half was a one-timer by Savina Zamborini, but it was saved by Wake Forest goalkeeper Kaitlyn Parks and the two teams went into the locker room at halftime locked in a scoreless tie.
The Cards did score first...Savina Zamborini connecting off a right cross pass from Julia Simon in the 50th minute. The Deacs countered, though, with three minutes left in regulation.
The win was the second for a Louisville women's sports squad this weekend over Wake Forest on the Belknap campus. On Friday, Louisville Field Hockey took a double overtime 2-1 win.
Wake is beatable. It just takes a women to do it...
