TheLouisville Cardinals men's soccer team represents theUniversity of Louisville in all NCAA Division I men'scollege soccer competitions. The team presently competes in theAtlantic Coast Conference.[2] The team currently plays in thesoccer-specificLynn Stadium on the campus.[3]
Nearly all of the Cardinals success has come in the last ten years of play under the helm ofKen Lolla. The Cardinals first qualified for theNCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship in 2007, and have appeared in every NCAA Tournament since then except 2015, 2020 and 2021.[4] Their best run came in 2010, where the Cardinals lost in the 2010 College Cup Final to theAkron Zips, 1–0. Since then, the Cardinals have reached the quarterfinals of the tournament in 2011, 2012, and 2016.[5]
On December 27, 2018, Louisville named assistant coachJohn Michael Hayden to replace Lolla, who resigned on December 11 after leading the team for 13 seasons. Hayden, a graduate of local Trinity High School (named Kentucky Gatorade Player of the Year) played 4 seasons at Indiana University (winning two NCAA Championships) and several seasons professionally before retiring. Hayden served as an assistant coach for the Cardinals for four years before being promoted to his first head coaching position.[6]
