Women’s Soccer Defense Improves Following Rough Start
Senior defender Ari Banks dribbles the ball up the field. Banks has started every game this season for the Ramblers, and tallied an assist against the University of Illinois.After early season struggles, the Loyola women’s soccer team (5-4-1) has won four of its last five games. In that five-game span, the Ramblers have only allowed four total goals.
Fresh off an NCAA Tournament appearance last season, the Ramblers started this season with a pair of losses against the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Kansas. The Ramblers lost 3-1 against Illinois and suffered a 6-0 loss to the Jayhawks. Last season, Loyola never allowed more than three goals in a game.
