RICHMOND, Va.– In its fourth consecutive draw against Atlantic 10 opponents, Loyola Chicago outshot VCU 22-11 with nine shots on-frame on Thursday, Oct. 3.
"We found our stride in the second half, created a lot of chances, but unfortunately, we couldn't find the back net tonight," said head coach Angela Staveskie. "We had 17 shots in the second half and narrowly missed on a few. We will continue to trust the process and believe the goals will come."
The Ramblers are now 6-2-4 overall and 1-0-3 in league play.
