Louisville City falls short in postseason after great regular season performance

Louisville City is a pro soccer team in Louisville, KY, who plays in the USL Championship league and have been around for about 10 years. They have been a force to be reckoned with ever since their introduction, winning the USL title twice, and the Eastern Conference four times. For only ten season, this is a very good record and legacy that will stick around. This year, Lou City continued their dominating run, finishing first in their conference by a clear 12 points, which translates to four wins. This record allowed them to qualify for the playoffs, being the top seed in the playoffs. They were faced with the 8th seed in North Carolina, but won a thriller 3-2 against the club. However, in the second round, City’s dominating run was cut short by the hopeful 5th seed, Rhode Island FC. This game was a slugfest, with City being shutout, and Rhode Island scoring three goals on them. For this good of a season, some fans were disappointed to see their team out of contention so early, especially considering their winning history. They had even caught the attention of some major European clubs in the past, including a friendly against the German giants Eintracht Frankfurt. This shows that Lou City is definitely a good club, but this postseason has shown that even the underdogs can have Cinderella runs. With Rhode Island going straight to the final against Colorado Springs. Overall, Lou City is a good team, and definitely a team to be reckoned with in the seasons to come, but they need to end the season on a high note and continue their good fortune into the postseason in order to meet fans expectations.
