The Loyola women’s soccer team is No. 5 in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC), holding a 2-3-0 conference record. With one game left in the regular season, the Ramblers’ objective is to qualify for the playoffs, preferably getting a bye week for the quarterfinal round in order to go directly to the semifinals.
For Loyola to get a bye week in the quarterfinal round, it must end the regular season in second place with more points than Northern Iowa and at least as many points as Evansville. Since joining the Valley in 2013, Loyola has never had a bye week for the tournament.
