LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The IUPUI men's soccer team will face its toughest test to date on Tuesday night (Sept. 19) when the Jaguars travel south to play Louisville (4-1-1, 1-1 ACC) at Lynn Stadium at 7:00 p.m.. The contest will be broadcast on ESPN3 and ACC Network Extra. Louisville was ranked No. 12 nationally last week and then won at No. 7 Syracuse 2-1 on Friday night. 

IUPUI (0-5, 0-2 Horizon) is coming off a 3-0 loss at Oakland in the second weekend of Horizon League play. The host Golden Grizzlies tallied first off a header in the game's early stages and never looked back, holding IUPUI to just four shot attempts. Senior Uriel Macias was credited with three attempts in the loss. Redshirt freshman Tyler Shanahan made his first career start and stopped five shots while allowing the three scores. 

For the year, sophomore midfielder Pedro Valladao leads the IUPUI attack with three points while Yan Souza and Tommy Patacca has the team's other two goals. Macias and junior back Sam Gavin have assists in the season's first five games. Valladao has a team-high six shot attempts, having put four on frame. In goal, Michael Buck started the first four matches of the year and recorded a 2.00 GAA with 11 saves. Shanahan has a 3.00 GAA and five saves after one appearance.

In goal, Jake Gelnovatch has a 1.13 goals against average and two shutouts this season.
