The Matchup

  • Loyola men's soccer is down to its final three games of the regular season, beginning with a 4 p.m. contest at Colgate this weekend.
  • The Greyhounds can clinch their sixth-straight Patriot League tournament appearance with a victory and a tie between Bucknell and Boston University.
  • Loyola has won three of its last four conference games, including victories over Navy (2-0) and American (3-0) last week.

Last Time Out

  • A Wake Forest squad receiving votes in the latest United Soccer Coaches national poll won its fourth-straight game on Tuesday night as the 2020 NCAA Quarterfinalists shut out Loyola, 7-0, at Spry Stadium.
  • Julian Kennedy scored three times, while Colin Thomas added a goal and two assists the Demon Deacons (9-4-1 overall).
  • Wake Forest finished the evening with a 13-6 edge in shots and a slim 4-3 advantage in corner kicks.
Series History
  • Loyola leads 4-3-2 in a series which began when the Greyhounds joined the Patriot League in 2013.
  • Jonathan Sousa provided the game-winner in the 93rd minute of a 2-1 road victory for Loyola during the last meeting on Oct. 16, 2019. Josh Fawole and Eddy Rodriguez added assists on the GWG.
  • Each of the last three games between the two sides has gone to overtime, as the teams played to a scoreless draw during the 2018 regular season while Colgate edged out a 3-2 overtime win in the 2017 Patriot League semifinals.
  • Loyola is 2-1-1 in four previous matchups at Colgate's Beyer-Small '76 Field.
Scouting Colgate
  • The Raiders (0-15-0, 0-6-0 PL) are the only team in Division I without a win or draw this season. They rank last in the Patriot League in both goals per game (0.20) and goals allowed per game (2.01).
  • Sr. GK Nick Gerlach has started 10 of Colgate's 15 games in goal. He leads the conference in saves per game (4.50, 31st in Division I) and he is second in total saves (45).
  • The Raiders have been outscored 31-3 on the year. Sr. F Edward Bass, Sr. F Ryan Krueger and Jr. M Max Edelstein are the team's three goalscorers.
  • Colgate held a 1-0 lead at halftime of its most-recent game against Albany on Tuesday, but the Great Danes scored two goals less than three minutes apart midway through the second half to pull out a 2-1 victory.
  • The Raiders have won eight Patriot League championships, including a run of three-straight titles from 2016-18.

Offensive Leaders

  • Justin Ingram (6 G, 7 A, 19 pts) and Kelan Swales (5 G, 2 A, 12 pts) have factored in 14 of Loyola's 20 goals on the year. 
  • Ingram is tied for first in the conference in assists (18th in DI), and he is second in both points (29th in DI) and goals (60th in DI). He has totaled 13 points (4 G, 5 A) in Loyola's last seven games and received his fifth career PL Midfielder of the Week award on Monday.
  • Swales totaled a career-high five points (2 G, 1 A) in a 3-0 win over William & Mary (9/29), and he added game-winning goals against both Lehigh and Boston U during conference play.
  • Daniel Tshiani (3 G, 1 A) now ranks third on the team with seven points after scoring the game-winning goal in victories over American and Navy last week. He was honored as the PL Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.

Defense Stepping Up in Patriot League Play

  • 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 6-5-1 this season with five shutouts, a 1.13 goals-against average and a .690 save percentage.

More on Vosvick

  • Chase Vosvick is a three-time United Soccer Coaches first team All-Region selection (2017-19) and a three-time Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Year (2017-18, Spring 2021). He was also named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List prior to the 2021 spring season.

Preseason Patriot League Honorees
  • Justin Ingram was voted in August to repeat as the Patriot League Midfielder of the Year. He is one of seven Greyhounds to return as a graduate student, taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA due to COVID-19.
  • Ingram was a first team United Soccer Coaches All-Region and first team All-Patriot League performer last spring after leading Loyola with nine points (3 G, 3 A).
  • All three of Loyola's Spring 2021 major award winners were recognized on the Preseason All-PL Team, with Ingram joined by Sam Brown and Chase Vosvick.
  • Brown was a second team United Soccer Coaches All-Region performer last season after ranking second on the team with six points (2 G, 2 A). He was the program's first Patriot League Offensive POY since Loyola joined the conference in 2013.
  • Vosvick is now a four-time Preseason All-League selection. He earned his third PL Goalkeeper of the Year honor in the spring after finishing 3-1-1 with a 0.92 goals-against average and .722 save percentage.
