After struggling out of the gate, the Loyola men’s soccer team decided to switch goalkeepers midseason.
First-year Aidan Aylward started the first nine games of the season as goalkeeper. With Aylward in the goal, the Ramblers went 4-5 and allowed 11 goals. After losing 3-2 in overtime Sept. 30 to Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) foe Central Arkansas University, first-year Evan Konermann got the starting job.
Since making the switch, the Ramblers won three times, tied three times and have allowed seven goals. Immediately following the change, the team went on a five game unbeaten streak that ended in a 2-1 overtime loss Oct.
