Burton and Mayle Put Leopards In Front 2-0
Louisville built a 2-0 advantage behind a pair of goals from current players. Carter Burton broke the scoreless tie with a goal at the 22:34 mark of the first half to give the Leopards the early lead. In the second half, Maddox Mayle added to the advantage by finding the back of the net with 36:26 remaining.
Adams and Paquelet Spark Alumni Rally
However, the Alumni refused to go quietly and mounted a comeback in the second half. Brady Adams cut the deficit in half with a goal at the 32:04 mark, and Angelo Paquelet delivered the equalizer with 11:03 left to knot the score at 2-2.
Reynolds Makes Game-Winning Save in Shootouts
Neither side could find the game-winner in regulation, setting the stage for a penalty kick shootout to determine the winner. The Alumni converted 5-of-5 attempts to secure the win, including clutch goals from Hunter Foley, Clayton McLaughlin, Logan Rich, and Travis Pape. The decisive moment came when goalkeeper Joe Reynolds made a save on Louisville’s fifth shooter, Burton, sealing the Alumni victory.
Louisville went 4-of-5 from the spot with successful shots from Raiden Lindner, Parker Daum, Mayle, and Evan Swope.
Keister Tallies 15 Saves in Net
Goalkeeper Justin Keister stood tall for the Leopards, finishing with 15 saves to keep the game tight throughout.
The Alumni outshot Louisville 24-20 in a match that was competitive from start to finish.
Alumni Goes Back-to-Back for First Time
With their 5-4 shootout victory following a 2-2 tie in regulation, the Alumni have now won back-to-back Alumni Games for the first time in series history. They previously claimed a 6-2 win in 2024. Despite the recent streak, Louisville still leads the all-time series 7-4-1.
The four total goals scored in this year’s match tied the 2021 contest for the fewest combined goals in Alumni Game history. That 2021 matchup also resulted in a 3-1 Alumni win.
The only other draw in series history came in 2015 when the teams battled to a 7-7 deadlock, which remains the highest-scoring Alumni Game on record. No overtime or penalty shootout was held that year. In contrast, this year’s game moved directly to penalty kicks after regulation, with no extra period played.
