CHICAGO -- Back home at Hoyne Field, Loyola Chicago took control in a 3-1 victory over George Washington on Thursday, Oct. 2 for their second Atlantic 10 win. 

The Ramblers improved to 7-3-2 overall and 2-2-in A-10 play.

Coach Quotes: Jon Sandoval
"Our mentality tonight was sharp. We've got some injuries, but that also presents opportunities. A lot of players stepped up and played significant minutes that, maybe, they haven't got yet, and when they got that opportunity tonight, they took full advantage of it. We're a few months into this thing, and now they're really getting rewarded for some of that work."

"Anytime you go through a skid or losses, those things can snowball, but when you have a good leadership group, when you have a group that's bought into achieving their goals, they take that challenge head on."
