This is the fifth shutout recorded by Louisville this season. The 2020 team holds the team season record with eight shutouts.
Most Lopsided Road Win Since 2016
The nine goal margin of victory is the Leopards largest on the road in six seasons. Louisville won at Massillon 10-0 on October 8, 2016 to lift longtime former Leopard Head Coach John Henkel to his 100th victory. Overall this is Louisville’s largest margin of victory for any game since LHS defeated Massillon 10-0 at home last season.
Louisville Ties Record for Longest Winning Streak
Thursday’s win marks the Leopards seventh straight victory, which ties the team record for the longest winning streak all-time. Louisville opened both the 2006 and 2007 seasons with seven straight victories before West Branch ended both streaks in game eight. The 2007 Leopards tied the Warriors to continue an unbeaten streak that lasted 10 games in length.
Louisville will attempt to make history in becoming the first Leopards team to win eight straight games when they host 3-4 Lake on Saturday. Louisville has never defeated the Blue Streaks, as they are 0-10-3 against them all-time.
Most Lopsided Road Win Since 2016
The Leopards have now defeated the Comets in each of their past three meetings. Louisville now leads the all-time series 5-3-1, which includes a 3-2 record when playing at Coventry in the series.
This was the first meeting between the two teams since 2020 when the Leopards also shutout the host Comets 3-0.
