Coach Quotes: Jon Sandoval
"In the end it was good to salvage the point on the road. It feels a sour because we could have came home with three points. We should have managed today's match better, especially myself. We have to continue to grow and stay the course. The good news is, a lot of our team goals are still achievable. We can't lose sight of that. We control our own destiny."
How it Happened
- Lanni opened the scoring early in the sixth minute, finishing a pass from Zoe Hevey to give the Ramblers an early edge. Loyola doubled its advantage midway through the half when Maggie Schmidt pounced on a rebound off the crossbar to make it 2-0, her second of the season.

- The Ramblers then knotted things back up, 3-3, thanks to a late goal from Lanni in the 88th minute, assisted by fellow defender Catherine Cline.
