Game Notes	Loyola

The Matchup

• Loyola men's soccer is back on the road for two games this week, beginning with its final non-conference contest of the regular season at Wake Forest on Tuesday night.
• This will be the second matchup between the two sides. The Greyhounds earned a memorable 1-1 draw against a Demon Deacons ranked No. 2 in the country back on Oct. 22, 2019.

Last Time Out

• Daniel Tshiani opened the scoring on a highlight-reel goal in the 20th minute, and he drew a penalty which led to an insurance strike by Justin Ingram in the closing seconds of a 2-0 victory for Loyola over Navy on Saturday.
• The Greyhounds move up to second place in the Patriot League standings after handing the Midshipmen (9-2-1, 4-2 PL) just their second defeat of the season. 
• Loyola has now won three of its last four conference games, posting clean sheets in all three victories.
• Chase Vosvick made two saves, both in the first half, to post his fifth shutout this season and 25th overall at Loyola.

• The Demon Deacons (8-4-1) have won each of their last four games, including a 3-1 home victory over No. 5 Virginia Tech on Saturday.
• Sr. F Kyle Holcomb scored the go-ahead goal in the 56th minute of the contest, and he leads Wake Forest with 16 points (6 G, 4 A) overall on the year. Other offensive leaders include So. MF Chase Oliver (3 G, 4 A), R-Jr. MF Jake Swallen (3 G, 3 A) and Jr. MF Omar Hernandez (3 G, 2 A). Hernandez is a former Dalton HS teammate of Loyola Jr. MF Tony Saldana.
• Fr. GK Trace Alphin has started 8 of 13 games in goal. He is 5-3-1 with a 1.25 GAA and a .621 save percentage.
• Wake Forest went 13-3-2 during the 2020-21 season, ultimately falling 2-1 to North Carolina in the NCAA quarterfinals. The Demon Deacons have reached 24 NCAA tournaments, including a national championship run in 2007.

Defense Stepping Up

• Loyola concluded a three-game homestand last week against two Patriot League leaders which had both been shutout only one time on the year.
• The Greyhounds blanked both American, the defending Patriot League champions, and Navy, which topped the conference standings entering the weekend, while allowing just two shots on goal in each contest.
• Defensive contributors included Jacob Denison, Jordy Luchies, Kristinn Pétursson, Matthew Lala and Jonathan Sousa. Denison was honored as the PL Defensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career on Monday. 
• Chase Vosvick received his 11th career PL Goalkeeper of the Week award after making a pair of saves in both victories. He is now 6-4-1 this season with five shutouts, a 0.65 goals-against average and a .788 save percentage.
