Last season, the Ramblers lost to the Purple Aces in the MVC championship game in penalty kicks. Loyola has yet to win an MVC championship title for women’s soccer.
The Loyola women’s soccer team (5-11-2, 2-4-0) advanced to the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) semifinals after defeating the University of Northern Iowa 1-0 in the quarterfinal round on Oct. 30. This was Loyola’s first victory on the road against Northern Iowa in program history.
After the Ramblers’ loss against Drake University on Oct. 27, head coach Barry Bimbi said the team had to improve its comfort level with handling the ball and switching the point of attack.
