Sophomore Bardia Kimiavi leads the Wildcats with three goals this season while senior Matt Moderwell has notched four assists, two of which were against UIC. Goalkeeper Miha Miskovic has registered 33 saves this season, which ranks fourth in the Big Ten. Head coach Tim Lenahan is in his 19^th season with the Wildcats, who finished (6-9-5, 0-5-3 Big Ten) in 2018.

Series Stuff: This is the 33rd meeting between the two teams, who have a crosstown rivalry dating back to 1982. Northwestern leads the all-time series, 20-7-6. Loyola defeated Northwestern back-to-back in 2014 and 2015 but haven't captured a win since. Northwestern snatched last year's win in overtime, 1-0 at Loyola Soccer Park.
