He scored the first two goals of the scrimmage within the first eight minutes via assists from Kadan Swope and Will Pochubay. He would also score unassisted for the final goal of the opening half with 1:44 remaining as the Leopards roared into the break with a 5-0 advantage.
Burton would tack on two more goals within the first nine minutes of the second half to put Louisville ahead 8-0. Dominic Porter-Kovacich and Nick Johnston provided the assists on those scores. Head Coach Jared Komo pulled many of the starters out following that as the clock ran non-stop the rest of the way.
Johnston and Mayle Score Two Goals Each
Both Nick Johnston and Maddox Mayle tallied a pair of goals each for the Leopards. The duo scored back-to-back goals in the opening half via passes from Raiden Lidner and Damien Lowder.
Johnston opened the scoring in the second half by tallying a goal just 62 seconds out of halftime via an Pochubay’s second assist of the evening. Mayle added Louisville’s final goal in the 50th minute off Johnston’s second assist of the night to make it 9-0.
