Cards soccer team headed to NCAA Final!

In every sense of the phrase, the men's soccer team seems to have a date with destiny. Another incredible win in the game's final moments:

The Cardinals struck again for the second goal of the half as Horton broke past the Tar Heel defense receiving a pass fromRyan Smith. Horton was able to lob the shot over the keeper to put Louisville up 2-1 with 0:51 remaining in the game. The goal was Horton's third goal of the season and the second game-winner in a row in the final minute of the game.

Louisville was able to hold on as the final few seconds ticked away sending the Cardinals to their first ever National Championship game.

Louisville finished the game with an 11-9 shot advantage, along with a 7-1 corner kick advantage. Boudreaux finished the game with two saves, while Goodwin finished with one.

The Cardinals will be back in action on Sunday, Dec. 12 to face the winner of the Akron/Michigan game in the National Championship at 1:00 p.m. PST.

One win away from a storybook ending... one that could have a transformative effect on men's soccer at U of L, and the athletic department as a whole. Go Cards!
