After a lackluster 2017, the Loyola men’s soccer team (1-1-0) has its eyes set on reattaining the success it had in 2016 — which resulted in an NCAA Tournament appearance. One year after reaching the second round of the tournament, the Ramblers were ousted by Evansville University 1-0 in the opening round of the 2017 Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) tournament Nov. 8.
Key contributors such as All-MVC preseason team picks, seniors Grant Stoneman and Fabian Lifka, will be returning to the Ramblers this season. Along with these preseason player nods, the Ramblers were selected to finish second in the MVC preseason poll.
