Loyola Finds Late Equalizer in 1-1 Draw With Cleveland State

CHICAGO (October 19, 2022)
 
In Short
A header goal from senior midfielder Marc Torrellas in the 82nd minute pulled Loyola University Chicago (6-2-5) even in a 1-1 draw against Cleveland State (9-2-3) Wednesday night at Loyola Soccer Park. With the win, Loyola extended its home unbeaten streak to eight consecutive games (6-0-2).
 
How It Happened
Loyola trailed at halftime for the first time this season after a slow start with both sides working to get comfortable in the attacking zone.
 
Cleveland State struck first, finding the back of the net in the 30th minute as Jannis Schmidt connected with the Vikings' leading scorer Bojan Kolevski for his eighth goal.
 
Despite the 1-0 halftime deficit, the Ramblers outshot the Vikings 11-3 with four corner kicks during the opening 45 minutes of play.
 
Loyola dominated possession in the second half with a barrage of shot attempts and crosses played into the box. The Ramblers put four shots on target, including a header from senior Billy Hency in the 67th minute that bounced off the crossbar. It appeared Loyola had found the equalizer on a great run, capped by a goal from Oscar Dueso, but it was waved off with an offsides call.
 
Cleveland State nearly took a 2-0 lead moments prior to Loyola tying the match, but goalkeeper Simon Jillson recorded a massive save to win a 1-on-1 play against Kolevski.
 
In the 82nd minute, the pressure finally broke through the Vikings wall of defense when Torrellas timed up a perfect header from Hency. The goal came off a set piece following a yellow card handed out to Cleveland State.
