EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Loyola Chicago rallied from a 1-0 halftime deficit to secure a 2-1 win over SIUE on the road Thursday night (Sept. 11) at Ralph Korte Stadium.

The Ramblers (2-1-3) found the back of the net twice in the final 15 minutes to earn the come-from-behind victory.

How it Happened
Moments after Liam O'Donoghue registered Loyola Chicago's fourth shot of the half, SIUE struck first when Evan Howard scored in the 45th minute off a feed from Archie McDonnell, just before the teams broke for the locker room.

After the break, Loyola Chicago pulled level in the 76th minute as Luka Ivancic netted his first goal of the season, set up by Petar Janjic.

Just seconds after Loyola's equalizer, SIUE was reduced to 10 men with a red card. The man advantage paid off quickly, as the Ramblers struck for the go-ahead goal in the 78th minute. Ben Bischoff delivered the game-winner, finishing a setup from Benji Chavarria for his first tally of the season.
