On a cold and windy Saturday night, the Missouri State men’s soccer team fell to the Loyola Ramblers on its senior night 2-1.

Going into the match, the Bears knew there was a possibility of clinching first seed in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament. The Bears could clinch if they won against Loyola, or if Drake or Central Arkansas lost its matches on Saturday.

Thanks to a Bradley upset against Central Arkansas, the Bears received the first seed placement in the MVC tournament.

The Bears got the scoring started in the eighth minute of the first half, when freshman forward Josh Dolling scored his fourth goal of the season from 12 yards out.
