This is the Lady Leopards first win at home over the Vikings in the series that dates back to Louisville’s inaugural season of 2003. This is also the Lady Leopards first win over Hoover since shutting them out 1-0 in the 2013 season opener. Louisville is now 3-12-2 against North Canton all-time, which includes a 1-5-1 record when playing at home in the series.
