LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville City FC will look to make some more noise in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday as head coach James O’Connor and his players travel to Indianapolis to take on the NASL-side Indy Eleven in a third round matchup. Here are a few things for LouCity supporters to watch for on Wednesday night.

LouCity came away with a 2-0 victory over Indy last season in a thriller that saw the USL side score two goals in the second period of extra time. O’Connor’s side looked to be the better team last season, and controlled the game for most of the time. Another 2-0 win would surely satisfy Lou-City supporters, and would improve Louisville City’s all-time record against Indy Eleven to an undefeated 4-0-0 (including friendlies).

In LouCity’s first 2016 Open Cup matchup against Detroit City FC, O’Connor selected many of his usual starters to play against the NPSL side. Through his selection, O’Connor made it clear that he is serious about the Open Cup and does not take it lightly. It will be interesting to see who plays for LouCity on Wednesday night in such a massive affair — especially since the U.S. Soccer sanctioned tournament only allows five interna-tional players per roster.

Playing on the road has not yet been a problem for O’Connor’s squad so far this season, as the team is undefeated away from home. LouCity’s dedicated travelling fans should help support the players and keep them undefeated in their golden-laced kits.

Louisville City will head back on the road to face Indy Eleven on June 1 (7:30 p.m.) in a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup fixture. A return to USL play will see LouCity visit Orlando City B on June 5 before returning to Slugger Field on June 11 to host Wilmington Hammerheads (7:30 p.m.).

LAST TIME OUT (LOUCITY vs. CHARLESTON BATTERY RECAP)

CHARLESTON, S.C. — With Charleston Battery’s 29-match unbeaten run on the line in a torrential downpour at MUSC Health Stadium on Satur-day, Louisville City FC (7-1-3, 24 points) was unbeatable for the 10th consecutive match in all competitions. First-half goals by George Davis IV and Man of the Match Kyle Smith shattered Charleston’s two-year home-unbeaten run while a fifth consecutive shutout by goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh and his defense has reached 465 minutes without allowing a goal.

“The first have held two good goals for us, but I think we could always play better,” Louisville City coach James O’Connor said. “By and large, the result was fair in those conditions, but we know what to work on moving forward. We have big matches ahead, with the Open Cup and Orlando B in the league on the weekend. This match is behind us now and we need to improve and get ready for the next massive fixture.”

With just three points separating the teams entering the match, LouCity controlled the tempo from the start – registering 15 shots to Charleston’s five.

After returning home from Charleston, Louisville City will head back on the road to face Indy Eleven on June 1 (7:30 p.m.) in a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup fixture. A return to USL play will see LouCity visit Orlando City B on June 5 before returning to Slugger Field on June 11 to host Wilmington Hammerheads (7:30 p.m.).

LOUISVILLE CITY FC PLAYER PROFILES

Aodhan Quinn returns to Louisville City FC in 2016 after a 2015 sea-son when he smashed in two goals, dished out one assist and started in 21 games.

Quinn’s debut for Louisville City FC came on May 12, 2015 versus the Wilmington Ham-merheads. In the 40th minute the 23-year-old midfielder rocketed a left-footed strike off a half-volley from 20-yards out that was des-tined for the top corner. Two minutes later, the debutant added an assist by laying a pass off to Conor Shanosky — who blasted the ball into an open net.

His goal at home versus Wilmington could have been a Goal of the Season nominee had it not been for his free-kick on the road at Tulsa on Aug. 15, that came in at No. 5 on SportsCen-ter’s Top Ten Plays that night. Quinn’s free kick, curled into the upper right corner and with it solidified it’s place into one of Louisville pro-fes-sional sports’ top moments.

After winning the Goal of the Season, Quinn was the top Twitter trend in Louisville on Dec. 29. Quinn joined USL club Louisville City FC on May 11, 2015.Quinn was drafted in the third round of the 2014 MLS SuperDraft by the Philadelphia Union, but wasn’t signed.
