Ramblers Suffer Road Setback at Saint Joseph's

Loyola falls 58-36 after going cold in the fourth quarter

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (January 10, 2023)
 
In Short…
Loyola (6-11, 1-3 A-10) suffered a 58-36 defeat to Saint Joseph's (14-2, 4-0 A-10) inside Hagan Arena Tuesday night in the first meeting between the two teams. Sitori Tanin led the Ramblers with seven points and eight rebounds while Maya Chandler and Sam Galanopoulos each added six points.
 
How it Happened
After trailing by eight at the break and cutting that deficit in half, Loyola couldn't match Saint Joseph's in the fourth quarter. The Hawks outscored the Ramblers 24-6 over the 10 minutes, spurred on by a 15-0 run to open the frame, and five Loyola turnovers. The Ramblers had just five turnovers combined in the first three periods.
 
Loyola looked strong and had momentum at the completion of the third quarter, closing the period on a 9-2 run and holding the Hawks to just 3-of-13 (23.1%) shooting. A layup from Galanopoulos made it a four-point game with under three minutes left in the third, before Chandler's layup near the one-minute mark trimmed Saint Joe's lead to 34-30.
 
The Ramblers grabbed an early 5-2 lead after Emma Nolan's three opened the game, but it was short-lived as the Maroon & Gold kept within striking distance through the first two periods. Jala Johnson knocked down a three to even the score at 8-8 entering the first media timeout of the contest. But, the hosts responded with a trey to move back in front.
 
SJU's Mackenzie Smith led all scorers with 15 points and six boards, while Laura Ziegler registered a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double effort.
