NOTES ON THE CARDINALS
Louisville (7-3, 3-1 ACC) enters the match following a 3-1 defeat to No. 3 Duke. The Cardinals have one of the most aggressive attacks in the ACC, averaging 2.7 goals per game. Leading the way for Louisville is freshman forward Aboubacar Camara, who has seven goals in 10 games.
 
NOTES ON THE HOKIES
• The Hokies are 4-0-1 in their last five fixtures, including three results against ACC foes (W vs. Virginia and Notre Dame, T at Boston College). In those five games, Tech has received goal contributions from six players: Jacob Labovitz (4), Pol Monells (1), Conor Pugh (1), Camron Lennon (1), Danny Flores (1), and Nick Blacklock (1).
• After struggling to record a clean sheet for the first eight matches of the season, Tech has shutout its opponent two matches in a row. With freshman Ben Martino in goal and consistency in the back with Kyle McDowell, Welnilton Da Silva Jr., Sivert Haugli, and Cameron Joice, the Hokies have allowed only six shots on target in the last two games.
