BALTIMORE – Loyola University Maryland men's soccer looks to snap a two-game losing streak on Wednesday, traveling to Bucknell for a Patriot League matchup at 7 p.m.

Last Time Out

  • Loyola outshot visiting Navy by a 21-4 margin, but was unable to find a goal while suffering a 2-0 defeat at Ridley Athletic Complex on Saturday.
  • Nicko West and Ethan Singer had the goals for the Mids (9-0, 2-0 Patriot League) in the 27th and 39th minutes, respectively.
  • Matt Nocita had a pair of team saves for Navy, as the defender cleared aside efforts by Brian Saramago and Barry Sharifi which had beaten goalkeeper Ian Bramblett.
  • In addition to their shot advantage, the Greyhounds earned 12 of the game's 13 corner kicks.
  • Loyola lost to Navy for the first time since Sept. 26, 2015.

Series History

  • Bucknell leads 7-0-0 in a series which dates back to 2005.
  • Loyola has dropped each of the last three meetings by 1-0 scorelines.
  • The Greyhounds had advantages in shots (13-5) and corners (4-0) last season at Ridley, but the Bison used a 52nd minute penalty kick by Tyler Peterson to secure a road victory.
  • That defeat was Loyola's only setback to a Patriot League opponent during last year's regular season, with the Greyhounds going 7-0-1 in the other eight contests.

About the Bison

  • Bucknell (2-3-3, 0-0-2) has played to ties in each of its last three games, including 1-1 scorelines against Colgate and American in its first two Patriot League matchups.
  • Matt Thorsheim, the lone Bucknell player selected to the 2019 Preseason All-Patriot League team, leads the Bison with 11 points (4 G, 3 A). Three of his four goals have come from the penalty spot. 
  • The Bison (6-8-3, 3-5-1 in 2018) missed out on the Patriot League tournament last season after losing their final five conference games.
