PEORIA, IL – The Bradley soccer team fell in its Missouri Valley Conference home opener on Wednesday night as Loyola earned a 3-0 victory at Shea Stadium. The Ramblers improve to 5-2-1 and 2-0-1 in conference action, while the Braves drop to 2-6-0 and 1-2-0 in league play.
The Braves had their best chance of the night in the early going when Danny Collins intercepted a pass and had a path at goal. However, a Loyola defender recovered just in time to make a sliding block and keep the game scoreless.
Loyola then took advantage of one of its first real opportunities of the game in the 34th minute when Alex Moskal's header looped in over the BU goalie and into the net for the 1-0 score.
