Volk Leads Louisville to Convincing Victory

Jan. 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Riding a three game win streak, the Louisville Lightning rolls through the Detroit Waza 15-6 at Mockingbird Valley Soccer Arena.

Louisville, who has already defeated Detroit three times this season, has an overall record of 7-4, putting them one game behind the 1790 Cincinnati Express for top spot in the Professional Arena Soccer League Eastern Division.

Both teams had three different players score in the first quarter, but the Lightning’s Glenn Volk had a pair of goals that put the Lightning up 4-3 going into the second quarter.

The defensive pressure of Louisville was too much to handle for Detroit. Louisville outscored Detroit 4-1 in the second quarter, as Volk added a third goal to his already impressive game and Louisville head coach Scott Budnick’s game plan was being executed by his team.

“We tried to keep things simple,” said Budnick. “We tried to apply as much defensive pressure as we could.  Our fitness and unity is what helped us play as a team.”

It was all Louisville in the last two quarters. Outscoring the Waza 7-2, Volk added two more goals, —giving him 5—Louisville forward Nick Judah followed his teammate’s 5-goal romp of the Waza with 4 of his own goals and goalie Frank Peabody held off the Waza offense with 9 second half saves.

The Louisville Lightning’s impressive season is giving the organization all the confidence it needs as they travel into the last seven games of the season.

“I think everyone feels from the players, on to the staff, on to the organization, that everyone feels a little bit more familiar and comfortable with the indoor game,” said Budnick.
