Two goals in the second half led Leilanni Nesbeth and her No. 2 Florida State Women's Soccer teammates to a 2 - 0 win over Louisville on a rainy night at Lynn Stadium in Louisville, Ky.
Florida State has never lost to Louisville and has not lost in their last eight road matches which is the fourth-longest streak in school history.
Florida State got some good looks early on in the match as Jordynn Dudley and Beata Olsson each recorded a shot in the first five minutes of the match. Dudley had Florida State’s best look of the half in the 24th minute, but the goalkeeper made the key save to keep the match scoreless heading into halftime. Florida State held a 6-2 shot advantage at the half while also taking six corner kicks.
Florida State continued to control the possession to begin the second half and continued to put pressure on Louisville. Taylor Huff took a shot from just beyond the box that deflected off the goalkeeper and found the back of the net to give Florida State the lead. Mimi Van Zanten earned the assist on the goal, her second of the season.
Florida State put the icing on the cake in the 77th minute as Ran Iwai got the play started with a perfect pass to Kaitlyn Zipay who sent a beautiful ball to Maria Alagoa who converted for her second goal of the season. It was Zipay's first assist of the season and just the third of her career.
