When the University of Louisville squares off against in-state rival University of Kentucky, there’s always more than a win on the line. The 2015 Battle of the Bluegrass in front of 4,507 fans at Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium Tuesday, September 8th was no exception, where the 23rd ranked Cards shutout the 15th ranked Wildcats 2-0.
After over 20 minutes of limited chances for both teams, the Cards jumped ahead quickly with two goals in within two minutes of each other. Tate Schmitt capitalized off a Wildcat misplay in the box for a shot that hit off the right post and then ricocheted off the back of the goalie’s head for his third goal of his freshman season.
