After struggling to score goals consistently last season, the Loyola men’s soccer team (5-3-1, 2-1-1) has found new success in front of goal in 2019.
Averaging 1.44 goals per game this season as opposed to a 1.11 mark last year, the team has found a new offensive identity. This change has come from two key factors, according to head coach Neil Jones: a year of experience for the team’s wingers, sophomores Billy Hency and Fabian Becerra, and University of South Carolina transfer midfielder Justin Sukow playing a major role in the Ramblers’ attack early on.
“For us, this year it’s really been a variety of guys taking the next step forward for us,” Jones said.
