Miller and Schillig Score a Minute Apart
After nearly eight minutes of scoreless soccer, Louisville broke the dam and erupted for a pair of goals one minute apart. Junior Mazzy Miller opened the scoring via an assist from Payton Allan at the 32:05 mark of the first half. Alyssa Schillig followed with the Leopards second goal via a pass from freshman Sammi Beatty with 31:05 left in the opening half.
Miller has now scored a team leading five goals this season and Schillig has scored four times this year. For Allan it was her third assist on the campaign and the assist by Beatty was the first of her varsity career.
Bush and Lingenhoel Add to Leopard Lead
The Ravens got on the board in the 23rd minute of the contest, but Louisville answered back with a pair of goals just 103 second apart. Gracie Bush put the Lady Leopards ahead 3-1 in the middle of the 27th minute and Alissa Lingenhoel would make it 4-1 Louisville with another unassisted goal with 11:46 to play before half.
The goal was Bush’s third of the season, while Lingenhoel’s score was her fourth for the year.
