The Leopards retook the lead in the 68th minute directly off a throw-in. Sophomore Brayden Mayle showed off his arm strength with a throw from the right sideline that was headed home by junior Cooper Gilbert. The goal is Gilbert’s first of the season and it gave Louisville a 2-1 advantage with 12:34 to go in the contest.
Cruz Scores Game-Tying Goal in Final Seconds
