Drake Women’s Soccer loses to Loyola 3-2 in MVC championship game

By, DRAKE LOHSE

Coming into Sunday’s match with the Loyola Ramblers, the Drake Bulldogs had won four games in-a-row. That streak came to an end Sunday night—a 3-2 loss to Loyola in the championship game.

The Bulldogs season started out rocky, in their first 10 games, they went 3-7, but finished 9-9-1. They began this weekend’s MVC Tournament with a rematch against Evansville. The last time Drake squared off against Evansville, the outcome was nothing but a twelve-round bout between two defensive heavyweights, ending in a tie. Friday’s rematch would prove to be no different.

The Bulldogs came out firing, with junior Shelley Lyjak sending out a shot in the ninth minute.
