Virginia Tech women’s soccer fell to Louisville Sunday afternoon, courtesy of a late goal by Cardinals forward Emersen Jennings that lifted Louisville to a 1-0 victory.

Jennings slipped past the Hokies’ (4-4-2, 0-2-0 ACC) back line to receive a great through ball by Liza Suydam to chip the ball over Lauren Hargrove to break the scoreless tie. That late strike marked the fourth time Tech conceded a goal in the final 10 minutes this season.

The match started with Louisville (8-2-0. 1-1-0) controlling possession and pace of play early, as ACC Co-Offensive Player of the Week Amelia Swinarski nearly put the Cardinals on top with a fifth-minute strike from just outside the box that just missed high.

The Hokies gained their composure following the slow start and started to build some momentum in the first half. Anna Weir almost had a career highlight as she made a great run in the 13th minute, breaking the ankles of the Louisville defender and puts a good strike on the ball that missed just wide.

Virginia Tech had some more chances in the first half, but nothing that really tested Louisville’s goalie Erynn Floyd. The Hokies led the Cardinals 4-1 in shots during the first half.

Louisville’s attack came alive as they came out of the half. The best opportunity at this point in the game for either team came in the 49th minute for Louisville’s Suydam. Forward Nicole Jodoin received the ball deep inside of Tech’s box and crosses it to the middle for Suydam who hit it right off the crossbar and out of play.

Another great opportunity for Louisville came shortly after for Fina Davy. She received a pass in the middle of the box and kicked it towards the bottom corner of the goal and Hargrove made a great diving save. Hargrove was Tech’s best player in the second half; Louisville simply received opportunity after opportunity to score.

The Hokies finally were able to get the ball on Louisville’s side of the field in the 75th minute. Lily Pantaelo made a run with Natalie Mitchell to her right. Mitchell then passed the ball to Pantaelo, who gave it right back to Mitchell. Mitchell then buried it in the back of the net. The line judge called the play offside, and replay assist confirmed the call.

Seven minutes later, Jennings delivered the game-winner.

Louisville managed only one shot in the first half but fired off 10 following halftime. The Hokies’ defense could not get the ball outside of their own half in the final 45 minutes.

The Hokies will look to earn their first ACC win on Thursday as they travel to Winston-Salem to take on Wake Forest. The game starts at 7 p.m. EST, and coverage will be on the ACC Network.

David Ismail broke his nose and maxilla, his upper jaw bone, when he was on the wrong side of a bloody collision during Vermont soccer’s victory over Lehigh on Sept. 6.

One week later, Ismail returned wearing a face mask — cleared by doctors on the eve of the No. 13 Catamounts’ nationally ranked showdown vs. No. 3 Akron.

“He’s a father figure within our team. Great leadership, good intensity and ready for his moments,” Vermont coach Rob Dow said. “He’s just a winner.”

And Ismail showed it on the pitch on Saturday, Sept. 13.

Ismail’s volley into the back of the Akron net early in the second half was enough for the Catamounts to blank the Zips 1-0 in front of 2,843 at Virtue Field for the program’s biggest win yet during their NCAA title defense campaign.

It’s also the highest regular-season win over a ranked opponent in team history. The Catamounts improve to 4-0-3 on the season.

“(Doctors) said the risk was OK if I play with a mask. I knew if I was cleared, I was going to play,” Ismail said. “It was the same preparation as any other game.”

After missing a golden chance in the early minutes of the first half, Ismail made amends for his second goal of 2025 with a technically brilliant finish in the 48th minute. In a build-up with pace and precision, Philipp Kuhn laid off a square ball near the home sideline for Ryan Zellefrow, who opened his foot to deliver a pass into the corner for Connor Thompson.

Thompson then uncorked a driven cross into the box for Ismail, who arrived near post on the edge of the goalie’s box to one-time a curling shot to the other side of the net to break the stalemate.

“We talked about it at halftime: ‘Let’s assert ourselves. We are at home, we have the emotion of our community … and let’s continue to put it on them,'” Dow said. “And to score that quick out of halftime is really good identity.”

After needing to rally with a pair of goals in the final 15 minutes to salvage a 3-3 tie with Dartmouth earlier this week, the Catamounts put an emphasis on how “the little things that can equal a result,” Dow said.

“Blocked shots, tracking back, hard runs — guys doing their job,” Dow said. It might not be the most attractive thing, but we are playing good team soccer and we showed that — finally — today.”

Vermont goalie Niklas Herceg turned back three saves for his third clean sheet this fall.

Who’s next for Vermont soccer?

The Catamounts wrap their four-game homestand on Tuesday, Sept. 16 when they play host to Hofstra in a rematch of last year’s NCAA Tournament second-round contest.

Diego Marquez would lead the Cardinal’s defensive effort in net, making his collegiate debut against the defending champions. In total, he would face five shots on the night, saving four of them, and keeping Wheeling within striking distance. He would face a big push from the Golden Eagles in the final four minutes of the first half and was able to keep the Golden Eagles off the board. He made saves in both the 41st minute and the 44th minute as the teams went into halftime with the 1-0 score holding. He would make back-to-back saves in the 62nd minute to round out his day. He would finish with an .800 save percentage in his collegiate debut and looks to be part of a strong Wheeling goalkeeper group in 2025. 

Marquez’s success would not have been possible without the work of the Cardinal’s backline. Pablo Prieto, Ruesca Martinez, and Hallvard Falch would start on that backline and held the Golden Eagles to a .250 shot on goal percentage for the game. After they conceded  the first goal of the day, Charleston would put just four more shots on goal the rest of the night as Wheeling pressured the ball. On the offensive side of the ball, Andoni Pipaon continued to step up for the Cardinals, putting one of two Cardinal shots on net. He was the Cardinal’s leader against West Liberty, taking three shots and putting two of those on net, and has taken a team-best four shots, putting three on net over the last two games. He has been the team’s main free kick taker this season and looks to continue to be a strong presence in the midfield. 

As they continue their MEC schedule, defense has been a driving factor in the Cardinal’s early season push. Since starting conference play, the Cardinals have allowed an average of 1.00 goals/game, placing them in a tie for second in the MEC with Frostburg State and Concord. Sunday marks one of just two home games for the team over the next three weeks to round out September. It is a part of a stretch that has seen Wheeling play four of their first seven games away from Bishop Schmitt Field. They look to take advantage of their early season chances t home as they push for one of the top six spots in the conference in the battle for the MEC Tournament. 

The Matchup 

The Cardinals and Pioneers are meeting for the seventh time in program history, with Wheeling leading the all-time series at 4-0-2. At Bishop Schmitt Field, Wheeling holds a 2-0-1 record against the Pioneers, while averaging 1.33 goals/game in those matchups. The Cardinals have come away with at least one point in each of the previous six meetings, including winning two of the last four matchups. 

The last meeting between the two teams came on October 20th, 2024, in a match the Cardinals would win 1-0. Leading the way was Antonio Herra-Blackwood, who finished with the lone Cardinal goal of the day while taking four shots and putting two of those on net. Former Cardinal Carlos Molina would get the start in net, making four saves in the shutout, while Jordan Taylor took four shots, putting one of those on net.
