In Short
The Loyola University Chicago men's soccer team captured their first Missouri Valley Conference win tonight as they upended Evansville, 2-1. Liam Moore and Justin Sukow each found the back of the net for the Ramblers, who move to 4-2-0 (1-0-0 MVC).
 
How It Happened
Moore scored his first collegiate goal in the 35^th minute off a Loyola corner kick. Marius Kullmann tapped the ball to the inside of the box and Moore headed it in with ease as it slowly bounced past UE goalkeeper Frederik Reimer. Evansville responded soon after on a quick give-and-go in the 39th minute between Ryan Harris and Nkosi Graham. Harris was able to slide in between Loyola's defense to score on the pass from Graham.

Both teams took five shot attempts in the second half, three of which were on goal for Loyola. Andrew Mitchell had a great chance in the 52nd minute as the ball almost crossed the line, but Reimer was there just in time to pull it in. Sukow finalized the decision minutes later, firing a wide open missile into the net with his left foot in the 55th minute. The Purple Aces best chance for the equalizer was a shot by Lucas Weir, who was surrounded by a sea of purple in the 83rd minute, but the shot went wide.
 
A Look At The Numbers
- Loyola outshot Evansville, 11-6 and won the corner kick battle, 5-3.
- Sukow recorded his third goal of the season and stays at the top of the points leader board for the Ramblers.
