Louisville’s women’s soccer squad finally broke through on Sunday night, posting a 5‑1 victory over IU Indy that marked the first win of head coach Hunter Norton’s tenure.
The scoring opened early, with Liza Suydam striking in the first minute, followed by a goal from Karina Peat in the 12th minute — assisted by Liz Eddy and AG Gibson — and a burst of strikes before halftime that saw Ella Bard, Amelia Swinarski and Abby Cox each register their first collegiate points.
A Lightning Delay and a Resilient Response
A 110‑minute lightning delay interrupted the action, but the Cardinals returned to the pitch composed, maintaining pressure while IU Indy could only add a single goal after the break.
Coach Norton praised the team’s execution and depth, noting that the win reflects the work done in training and the contributions of every player as the roster prepares for upcoming challenges.
Looking ahead, Louisville will travel to face the Belmont Bruins on August 23 at 7 p.m. ET, a match that will stream on ACC Network Extra, as the Cardinals aim to build momentum early in the season.
