The Louisville Leopards Girls Soccer Team upended the visiting Minerva Lions 11-0 Saturday Night at Louisville Leopards Stadium. With their third straight victory, Louisville improves to 6-2 on the season.
Allan Scores Twice in Span of 10 Minutes
Junior Payton Allan broke the deadlock by scoring twice for the Leopards in a 10 minute span. Allan got Louisville on the board with a shot into the left side of the net in the 13th minute.
Senior Natalie Lab then made it 2-0 LHS less than two minutes later when she scored off a free kick from senior Paige Folk. The goal was Lab’s team leading fifth of the season and the assist was Folk’s team best third for the year.
The Lady Leopards took firm control of the game when Allan added her second score to make it 3-0 with 17:58 to play before halftime. Allan ran a give and go with junior Reise Klein and then beat the Lion goalkeeper who made a diving save attempt on the left side of the net.
Beatty and Miller Tack on Two Goals Each
Louisville continued to pour it on in taking a 6-0 halftime lead and adding 5 additional goals in the second half.
Senior Mazzy Miller, sophomore Sammi Beatty, and junior Reagan Biery each scored unassisted goals in a span of only 3:13. That put the Lady Leopards ahead 6-0 and they would ride that advantage into the break.
Louisville wasted no time in adding to their total just 1:21 into the second half. Beatty took a deep shot from the far left side that deflected off the hands of the goalkeeper and was tapped home by Miller for her second goal of the game.
Beatty then tacked on her second goal of the game in the 48th minute. She received a perfect cross pass from junior Alissa Lingenhoel and one-timed the ball into the back of the net to make it 8-0. The goal was Beatty’s fourth of the season.
Three Leopards Record 1st Goals of the Year
The Lady Leopards added on three more goals in a 6:49 sequence late in the second half. Senior Ava Heckman got on the board in the 65th minute via an assist from sophomore Alyssa Schillig. Lilli Lab followed with a score in the 69th minute to put Louisville in double digits. Finally, sophomore Alivia Youngen found the back of the net off an assist from sophomore Violet Lab to up to Leopard lead to 11-0 with 8:24 to go.
LHS Reaches Double Digits for 10th Time
