Last Match: Loyola Chicago 3, Evansville 1

• Despite opening the scoring in the match, the University of Evansville women's soccer team dropped the finale of a two-game homestand to Loyola Chicago, 3-1, on Wednesday afternoon at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.
• Senior Emily Ormson increased her team lead in goals, scoring her fifth goal of the season in the 32nd minute. In goal, fifth-year senior Michaela Till made four saves on the evening.
• Till was busy early, but held her ground in the opening half, stopping a pair of shots early in the match. Evansville found the scoreboard in the 32nd minutes off a free kick. Senior Alex Eyler took the free kick just inside the Ramblers half, looping it just into the box. The ball was headed up into the air by a Rambler and then bounced just outside of the box. Ormson approached the ball off the bounce and fired a volley past the keeper's right to give the Aces a 1-0 lead at the half.
• Just past five minutes into the second half, Loyola answered as Megan Nemec found Megan Demski, who slipped it into the back of the net in the 51st minute. A great chance in the 65th minute for the Aces came as freshman Hailey Autenrieb got into the box and sent a shot on-goal that was saved by the Ramblers. In the 74th minute, the Ramblers went in front as Olivia Knab scored to give Loyola a 2-1 advantage. Closing-out the match, Sarah Noonan scored for the Ramblers in the 86th minute, assisted by Jenna Ross, as Loyola secured the 3-1 win.
