LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The No. 22 Florida State soccer team tied Louisville 0-0 on Sunday afternoon at Dr. Mark & Cindy Lynn Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky.
Â
Returning to the pitch for the first time in 16 days, the Seminoles (4-1-3) shut out their opponent for the fourth time this season as the Cardinals (8-1-2) extended their unbeaten streak to 10 in a row. While UofL remains unbeaten at home in 18 of its last 19 games, the Cards were held to a draw for just the third time in that stretch.
Â
Louisville had nine shots to Florida State's three and both teams had one shot on goal. Corners were 8-2 for UofL and fouls were even at nine each. One card was shown in the match, a yellow to the Cardinals.
Â
Junior midfielder Shaneil Buckley had two of the Seminoles' shots and one shot on goal. Junior forward Wrianna Hudson also posted a shot. Sophomore goalkeeper Kate Ockene saved the only shot on goal she faced and earned her third clean sheet of the season and eighth of her career.
Â
After a quiet opening 10 minutes, Louisville earned a free kick in the final third in the 14th minute followed by a corner kick, but neither set piece resulted in a shot, as the FSU defense cleared it away each time. The Seminoles got their first corner in the 20th minute.
Â
Sophomore Nawreen Ahmad cleared a ball off the line in the 24th minute shortly after a Louisville free kick. Several minutes later, two good passes on the run led to a good chance for Florida State, but a final shot on goal was not recorded.
Â
The first official shot of the contest was sailed just high from distance by the Cardinals in the 29th minute, and UofL's second shot was wide in the 33rd.
Â
Louisville had a good chance, its best so far in the contest, in the 48th minute that resulted in a shot just high.
Â
Buckley registered her first shot in the 53rd minute, which was over the crossbar.
Â
The Cardinals then had several chances in the final third, with a trio of corner kicks, but the Florida State defense prevented a shot on each. Junior defender Janet Okeke also made a nice play to poke the ball away from a UofL attacker as she neared the penalty box.
Â
Buckley put a shot on goal in the 73rd minute that was saved, and Ockene made her one save in the 81st minute following a corner kick.
Â
The Seminoles had momentum in the final 10 minutes, and registered a good chance in the 84th minute, but the shot from inside the penalty area was high. That proved to be the final shot for either team in the Sunday matinee.
Â
Florida State travels to Clemson for a Sunday afternoon matchup on October 4 at 3:30 p.m. ET. Up next at the Seminole Soccer Complex is a rivalry contest vs. North Carolina on Friday, October 9, at 6 p.m. ET, on ESPNU.
