Evansville battles, but falls short in MVC opener to Loyola

EVANSVILLE - Opening Missouri Valley Conference play, the University of Evansville men's soccer team battled back, but came up short in a 2-1 loss to Loyola on Wednesday evening at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

Evansville held off the Ramblers in the early going after Loyola recorded two shots inside the first 15 minutes and controlled much of the possession. The match evened out midway through the opening 45 minutes before the Ramblers got on the board first in the 36th minute as Liam Moore finished a corner kick off the foot of Marius Kullman for Loyola's first goal. As the half waned, Evansville knotted the match at one goal each as sophomore Ryan Harris and freshman Nkosi Graham linked up for an Aces goal in the 40th minute.

Despite Loyola owning a 6-1 advantage on shots in the first half, Evansville played evenly on the attack with the Ramblers in the second half. Graham nearly put the Aces ahead in the 48th minute as he brough down a ball in the box, but had his shot saved by Ramblers' keeper Marcel Kampman. Loyola found what would be its game-winning goal in the 56th minute as Justin Sukow ripped a shot from inside the box that put the Ramblers in front. Evansville had its opportunities in the final 35 minutes, but the Aces could not find their equalizer as Loyola earned the 2-1 win.

The Aces return to action on Sunday with another MVC matchup on the road at Valparaiso at 2 p.m.
