That 4-1 egg laid at George Mason two weeks ago feels like old news for the UVA Soccer team, which got a goal in the 73rd minute from Luke Burns and held on for the 1-0 win at #6 Louisville on Saturday night.
The Cavaliers (4-1-1, 1-0-1 ACC) broke through when Marco Dos Santos rifled a shot from inside the box that deflected off a Louisville defender and fell to the feet of Burns. The sophomore fired the ball into the back of the net to give Virginia a 1-0 lead.
The Cardinals (5-1-0, 1-1-0 ACC) took 10 shots in the final minutes and forced Casper Mols into a pair of clutch saves to secure the win.
“Starting off the ACC schedule with two consecutive Top 10 wins on the road, is a really difficult task. To get four points off those teams is a huge achievement for us,” UVA coach George Gelnovatch said. “We are still getting better and getting guys back on the field with Reese Miller and Nick Dang, and now we have a nice home stretch to look forward to.”
The Cavaliers will be back in action on Friday (Sept. 19) when they host Wake Forest at Klöckner Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. on ACC Network.
