After last Friday’s match against Siena was declared a no contest due to rain, the Seton Hall women’s soccer team lost what became its season opener to the Loyola Greyhounds 1-0 in extra time Thursday.
The game, which took place at the Ridley Athletic Complex in Baltimore, Md., was a defensive battle from the start with neither team able to generate much in terms of offense. Strong backlines on both sides helped limit the shots, with the Pirates accumulating three shots in each half while the Greyhounds were only able to amass one shot per half.
Loyola led the game in fouls, 10-7, however it was Seton Hall who had two bookable offenses, both in the second half.
