#2 OHIO STATE vs. #7 LOUISVILLE, 10:00PM EST

Buckeyes: 10-4-0-0 (13-7-0 ACHA)
Cardinals: 3-11-0-0 (9-22-2 ACHA)

The Buckeyes are familiar with Iceland Sports Complex, having gone 2-0 in the Cardinals' barn this year - sweeping Louisville 6-3 and 7-2. Jacob Clark recorded a hat trick in both meetings, scoring six of the Buckeyes' thirteen goals. Clark and JP Shimko lead Ohio State in scoring with 23 points a piece. Who will get the nod in net for the Buckeyes? Neven Dyer, or Declan Rooney?

With Yannis Soukas in the lineup, Louisville can never be counted out. The Cardinals' leader posted 39 points in just 23 games, including three points on the five Cardinals' goals in this year's series with Ohio State. Expect to see Cam Walsh in net for Louisville.

Ohio State comes into this contest as the favorite, but as mentioned before -- a Soukas led team can never be counted out.  Louisville Head Coach Brian Graham has shown the ability to have his team rolling on all cylinders come tournament time.  Will it be enough to stop Clark, Shimko and the Buckeyes' offense?
