Box Score

Cleveland, Ohio - Visiting Loyola remained unbeaten in conference play, getting goals from three different players in a 3-0 win tonight over Cleveland State at Krentzler Field in Cleveland, Ohio. The Ramblers, who are 5-1-1 in their last seven outings, improve to 8-4-2 (3-0-1 Horizon) on the year while the Vikings drop to 2-12 (0-3) with the loss.

Loyola opened the game strong, peppering the Viking net in the early going before finally breaking through in the 18th minute when Heather Lau blasted a shot from 20 yards into the back of the net for her first goal of the season. The Ramblers doubled their lead just before halftime, when Amy Lomas headed home a Lindsay Faron free kick in the 41st minute for a 2-0 lead. Loyola put the match out of reach midway through the second half, wrapping up the scoring when freshman Ashley Morawski netted her first collegiate goal, heading in a Cynthia Morote-Ariza free kick in the 68th minute for the final margin. The assist for Morote-Ariza gave her 18 points for the year, one shy of Mandy Brettingen's school-record total for freshmen.
