A season after falling short in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) title game, the Loyola men’s soccer team has one clear cut task in 2019 — win the MVC and reach the NCAA tournament.
Hosts of this year’s MVC tournament Nov. 14-17, the Ramblers return several impact players and, according to head coach Neil Jones, hold a chip on their shoulder to avenge last season’s 1-0 loss to University of Central Arkansas in the MVC championship game in Evansville, Indiana.
“Last year, being our first conference championship appearance was a big bit of experience of our guys and, obviously, you wished as a program that we could’ve won it,” Jones said.
