BALTIMORE – Loyola University Maryland women's soccer looks to get back on track this weekend with a pair of non-conference matchups, as the Greyhounds host Yale at 7 p.m. on Friday before traveling to Marist for a 1 p.m. contest on Sunday. The Greyhounds have lost their last two games by a combined 7-1 margin after starting the year with a 2-1 overtime victory over Seton Hall.
Friday is Movie Night at Ridley Athletic Complex. All fans in attendance will receive free admission and a chance to watch The Secret Life of Pets 2 on the field with the team after the contest.
Last Time Out
- Junior Claire Beath recorded her first goal of the season midway through the first half, but that was the only offense for Loyola in a 3-1 home loss to Quinnipiac at Ridley last Sunday.
- Olivia Scott had a goal and two assists for the Bobcats (3-0), who outshot the Greyhounds by a 15-9 margin.
- Beath's goal was the third of her collegiate career, and her first since Oct. 17 last season at American.
- The Greyhounds dropped to 5-2 in their past seven home games against non-conference opponents.
Series History
- This will be the first meeting between Loyola and Yale since the 1997 season, with the Greyhounds winning the previous contest by a 2-1 final.
- Loyola last faced an Ivy League opponent on Sept. 2, 2016, dropping a 1-0 home decision to Cornell. The Greyhounds' last win over an Ivy League team came on Sept. 28, 2005 against Penn (3-0).
- Sunday marks the first meeting between Loyola and Marist since the former conference rivals met in the MAAC title game on Nov. 4, 2012. The Greyhounds topped the Red Foxes 2-1 in that contest to win their 10th and final MAAC championship.
- Loyola is 13-5-4 lifetime against Marist (5-1-3 under current head coach Joe Mallia).

- Sophomore Victoria Colatosti leads the team with four goals and an assist. She was honored as MAAC Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.
Looking Ahead
- Friday will conclude a stretch of four scheduled home games out of five to begin the season (the first of those home games, against St. Francis, was cancelled due to lightning).
- The trip to Marist then begins a run of four out of five contests to be played on the road through Sept. 24, with only a Sept. 13 matchup with VMI taking place at Ridley during that span.
