Series Stuff: Saturday's matchup will mark the 19th time Loyola and Evansville have clashed in men's soccer, with all but five meetings coming when the two schools were members of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (MCC).  Evansville owns a commanding 15-2-1 edge in the all-time series.  In last season's matchup, Lifka cancelled out a goal from Jared Robinson to help secure the Maroon & Gold a 1-1 double-overtime draw against the Purple Aces.  Loyola and Evansville will wrap up their two-game season series when the Purple Aces travel to Loyola Soccer Park on Nov. 4 in what will serve as the regular season finale for both teams.
