Louisville (10-3-3, 4-2-3 ACC) is looking to bounce back after back-to-back losses to No. 19 Virginia and Boston College last week. Betsy Huckaby scored the lone Cardinals goal between both matches, converting the first UofL penalty kick of the season for her first goal of the year. Huckaby carded the goal on her own senior day against Boston College.
Huckaby's successful penalty kick was Louisville's first of the season. The last time a Cardinal converted a penalty kick was Karsyn Cherry on September 4, 2025 against Kent State.
The Cardinals sit in a two-way tie for sixth place with Duke in the ACC standings heading into the regular season finale. With the 2026 Ally ACC Women's Soccer Championship looming, UofL will need come away with points against North Carolina to get in.
