CHICAGO (September 15, 2017) –
The Loyola University Chicago men's soccer team steps outside Missouri Valley Conference play this Saturday when it travels to Madison, Wis. to take on Wisconsin.  Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. from the McClimon Soccer Complex.
 
Last Time Out: Younes Dayekh scored with just over 10 minutes remaining in regulation to send Bradley past Loyola, 1-0, in a midweek Missouri Valley Conference matchup this past Wednesday at Shea Stadium in Peoria, Ill.  Juniors Fabian Lifka and Alec Lasinski each notched three shots in the defeat to lead the attack for the Maroon & Gold, while Aidan Aylward recorded one save in goal for the Ramblers.
 
vs. Wisconsin: Wisconsin, fresh off a 3-1 home victory over Northwestern this past Wednesday, brings a record of 2-1-2 into Saturday's clash with Loyola.  The Badgers currently sit at 1-1-0 in Big Ten Conference play.  Head coach John Trask's team is led in the offensive third by the duo of Tom Barlow and Mike Catalano. Both have found the back of the net twice this season. Philipp Schilling has started in all five contests in goal and sports a 1.29 goals against average.
 
Series Stuff: Saturday's tilt will mark the seventh meeting between Loyola and Wisconsin in women's soccer. The Badgers prevailed in each of the first five meetings before Loyola earned a 1-1 double-overtime draw at the McClimon Soccer Complex back on Oct. 15, 2014 in the last meeting between the two teams. Ben Crognale put the Maroon & Gold on the board inside the opening minute of the first half, while Andrew Chekadanov made four stops in goal.
 
Up Next: Loyola returns home for the first in nearly three weeks next Saturday (Sept. 23) when it welcomes for MVC foe SIUE to Loyola Soccer Park at 7 p.m.
