CHICAGO – Loyola Chicago played to its second straight draw in Atlantic 10 play Thursday night against Saint Joseph's. The Ramblers led 15-5 on shots, but the match was deadlocked 0-0 as time expired.
 
With the tie, Loyola sits at 4-5-1 overall, 0-1-2 in the A10.
 
"It was a disappointing result at home," said head coach Barry Bimbi. "At the end of the day, it looks good with 15 shots, but we made the goalkeeper get one save tonight. That's just not dangerous enough in the box. We have to be more unselfish in the final third and score team goals."
