Currently sitting at 3-4-1 — including 0-0-1 in Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) action — the Loyola men’s soccer team has had a middling start to their 2018 campaign. However, a silver lining for the Ramblers has been their newfound consistency at the goalkeeper position.
After losing two former standouts at the position — Tim Dobrowolski in 2015 and Andrew Chekadanov in 2016 — Loyola struggled to fill the role during the 2016-17 season. The loss was felt after the two graduated and it wasn’t until this season they finally found relief.
New junior netminder Josh Lagudah from Canberra, Australia has captured the starting spot for the Ramblers so far this season.
