LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Forwards Cameron Lancaster and Luke Spencer both found the net, and Louisville native Richard Ballard chipped in his first professional goal as Louisville City FC took a 3-1 victory against NCAA Division II Young Harris College on Saturday afternoon.

Louisville controlled possession throughout while tallying 19 shots at Thurman-Hutchins Park, where a group of 100 season ticket holders took in the otherwise closed-door game. But the score and stats weren’t top of mind for City Head Coach James O’Connor.

“I’m disappointed with the game, to be honest,” O’Connor said. “I thought Young Harris deserved a lot of credit. They made it very difficult for us. For me, there were a number of things I was disappointed with. We’ll be speaking about that for sure.

“…It’s a preseason game, and the easy thing to do is paper over cracks and make excuses. For what we’re looking for, it needs to be way better than that.”
