Home-field advantage can be a game-changer in soccer. The Loyola men’s soccer team (3-3, 0-2) has had much success at Hoyne Field over the last three seasons.

The team won 28 home games straight before falling to Valparaiso University 2-1 on Sept. 1. Prior to the loss, the last time Loyola lost at home was when it fell to the University of Evansville on Oct. 12, 2013.

The Loyola men’s and women’s soccer teams have played at Hoyne since 1996. Located just one mile west of Loyola at the intersection of Devon and Hoyne avenues, students can either take bus No.
