LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The DePaul women’s soccer team lost the first of two road matches on Friday night at Louisville, 2-1. With the loss, the Blue Demons drop to 5-9-1 overall and 0-6-1 in league action.
After the two teams battled to a scoreless tie at halftime, Louisville’s Jerika Amos headed in a corner kick from Leigh Caroll in the 64th minute to give the Cardinals a 1-0 advantage. Louisville scored again at 78:36 when Melissa Wark knocked a shot to the left side past DePaul keeper Lindsey Deason.
Down 2-0, the Blue Demons pressed late in the match looking to tie the game. In the 84th minute, Claire Sharkey scored her first collegiate goal to cut the Louisville lead to 2-1. Sharkey headed in a corner kick by fellow freshman Kelly Kammer. DePaul continued to pressure for the remaining few minutes but couldn’t find the net.
