Notes

first round of playoffs. Toronto sits in last place in the Eastern Conference and have 
been eliminated from playoff contention.

Eastern Conference Race: After Sunday’s draw, Louisville extended their lead to seven points 
in the Eastern Conference. Charlotte has been on a decline lately, winning just one of their 
last five games, and leading third place Charleston by only one point. LouCity trails the 
Real Monarchs SLC, who play in the Western Conference, by two points for the overall USL lead. 

Scouting Toronto: Toronto sits last in the Eastern Conference, and second to last in the 
entire USL. LouCity holds the all-time advantage against Toronto FC II with a 4-0-1 record. 
Goalkeeper Angelo Cavalluzzo has not allowed more than two goals in each of Toronto’s past 
five games, despite FC II being on a three game losing streak.

which were on target. Toronto had 12 shots, three of which were on target.

he has allowed 18 goals and has had seven clean sheets while saving 35 of the 53 shots he’s faced.

Resilient LouCity: The boys in purple rallied from 1-1 and 2-1 scores Wednesday to secure 
a win against the Rochester Rhinos--with Luke Spencer scoring the winning goal off a penalty 
kick in stoppage time . Two previous come backs  came  against the Charleston Battery with
