Nick Johnston, Damien Lowder, and Will Pochubay all scored a pair of goals each. Caleb Riley, Kadan Swope, and Cameron Young also finished with a goal and an assist each. Other Louisville goal scorers included Drew Dillen, Ethan Diller, and Remi Klein.
Burton Ties Single Game Assist Record
Carter Burton recorded 5 of the Leopards’ 9 assists for the game. He registered 3 assists in the opening half and recorded 2 more in the second half. All five of his assists went to 5 different goal scorers.
The 5 assists match the single game team record originally set by Logan Henkel 13 seasons ago. Henkel registered 5 assists during a 10-1 sectional final tournament win over Ravenna on October 23, 2010.
Adams Ties Career Assist Record
In addition to Burton’s 5 assists, Brady Adams also finished with 3 assists and Raiden Lindner added an assist.
Adams’ third assist came early on in the second half as Dillen scored to make it 11-0 Leopards. The assist was the 33rd of his career, tying the Louisville team record held by his brother Bailey Adams who compiled 33 assists from 2014-2017.
Emmons Ties Single Season Shutout Mark
While the scoring fest continued for the Leopards on the offensive end of the field, another school record was being match on the defensive end. Along with the help of his defense, goalkeeper Noah Emmons recorded his 8th shutout of the season.
The 8 shutouts matches a single season team record set by his predecessor Joe Reynolds during the 2020 campaign.
Second Largest Leopards Shutout of All-Time
Louisville’s 16-0 shutout win over Massillon is the second largest shutout and second largest margin of victory in team history. The Leopards blanked the Tuslaw Mustangs 17-0 in the DII Canton Sectional Semifinals on October 16, 2018 as the only larger shutout win.
The 9 goals scored in the first half is also the most scored by the Leopards in a single half since that 2018 tournament game against Tuslaw.
The 16-0 victory is the largest margin regular season win and also the most goals scored by a Louisville team in a regular season game. This surpasses their 15-1 win at Northwest on September 28, 2010.
