Box Score (PDF)

In Short…
Host Wisconsin dealt the Loyola University Chicago men's soccer team a 2-0 defeat this evening at the McClimon Soccer Complex in Madison, Wis.  With the win, the Badgers move to 3-1-2 (1-1-1 Big Ten), while the Ramblers slip to 3-4-0 (0-2-0 MVC).
 
How It Happened
Sophomore Aidan Megally notched the first attempt of the night for either team in the 13th minute when he had his shot blocked following a corner kick from junior Fabian Lifka.  Just 10 minutes later, senior Kyle Thomson forced a stop of Philipp Schilling, the Badger netminder. 
 
Wisconsin found its breakthrough goal just past the half-hour mark.  Freshman goalkeeper Aidan Aylward made an initial stop on a shot from Chris Mueller before Tom Barlow cleaned up the ensuing rebound to put the home side on the board first, 1-0.  Aylward bounced back, making a pair of stops before the half concluded to keep the Ramblers' deficit at one heading into the intermission.
 
Mueller doubled the hosts' lead, 2-0, seven minutes into the second stanza as he converted from the penalty spot following a Loyola foul inside the 18-yard box.  Junior Alec Lasinski looked to pull a goal back for the Maroon & Gold in the 57th minute, sending his shot wide.  Schilling was called into action again in the 65th minute when he turned away senior Elliot Collier's blast.
 
Both sides struggled to generate chances as time ticked away in regulation.  Lasinski's headed try to cut the deficit down to one in the 86th minute was collected by Schilling in what would prove to be the final attempt of the night for either team as the Badgers closed out a 2-0 victory.
 
Looking At The Numbers
- Wisconsin finished the night with an 11-7 advantage in shots, which included a 5-3 edge in shots on goal.
- Collier, Lasinski and Megally each tallied two attempts to pace the Rambler attack.
- Aylward finished the night with three saves between the pipes for the Maroon & Gold.
 
Up Next
Loyola returns home for the first time in nearly three weeks next Saturday (Sept. 23) when it hosts former MVC foe SIUE in a 7 p.m. kickoff at Loyola Soccer Park.
