IOWA CITY, Iowa - Loyola Chicago lost at Iowa 5-0 Saturday night in the Ramblers' first road contest of the 2026 season.
The loss dropped Loyola's record to 1-1-0 overall.
"Obviously, today was a very difficult result to swallow," said head coach

Unfortunately, tonight came down to choices, and we weren't willing to make the choices necessary to help the team when things got difficult. This team has shown they can be resilient, and we are looking forward to the way we bounce back in Wednesday's match."
