CHICAGO – Attack-hungry Loyola Chicago battled La Salle to a 0-0 draw in both teams' fourth Atlantic 10 match, and the third consecutive draw result for the Ramblers, on Sunday, Sept. 29 at Hoyne Field. The Ramblers outshot the Explorers 25-8.
"I think we created the chances and lost a little bit of confidence when we weren't scoring, so there was some hesitation there. Shooters shoot, and like we've been doing, if you missed the first, second, third, still take the fourth shot with confidence and conviction," said head coach
Angela Staveskie. "Whether we win, lose or draw, it's 'how could we get better each day?'"
The Ramblers are now 6-2-4 overall, 1-0-3 in league play and remain undefeated at home.
