Quick Hits About the 'Hounds

• A playoff spot is on the line for Friday's regular season finale between Loyola women's soccer and Lehigh, as the two teams square off in Bethlehem, Pa., beginning at 6 p.m.
• The Greyhounds will secure the No. 2 seed in the South division with a win or a draw, while the Mountain Hawks need a victory to clinch the No. 2 seed. Navy is locked into the No. 1 position.
• Loyola has held opponents to one goal or fewer in 16-consecutive games dating back to the 2019 season.
• Joe Mallia is in his second season (ninth overall) as Loyola's head coach after previously leading the program from 1998-2004.

Last Time Out

• Sarah Bayer scored the game's only goal with 21:13 remaining in regulation, sending Loyola to a key 1-0 victory at American on Saturday.
• The Greyhounds held the Eagles (0-4 PL, 0-3 South) without a shot on goal over the final 53 minutes of the contest.
• Bayer's goal came off a corner from Gillian Borton on the right side. Borton nearly scored on her own, as her cross bounced off goalkeeper Ryleigh Brown's hands and settled on the goal line before Bayer was able to tap the ball into the back of the net.
• Paige Sim made two saves to secure her seven shutout in 16 collegiate starts in goal. She is now 3-1 on the year with a .714 save percentage and 0.50 goals-against average.
• The Greyhounds improved to 11-3-4 lifetime against American, including a 5-1-2 edge since joining the Patriot League.

Series History

• Loyola leads 5-3-2 in a series which dates back to 1995.
• Lehigh holds a 3-2-2 edge since the Greyhounds joined the Patriot League in 2013, though Loyola has won each of the past two meetings.
• After picking up their first win over the Mountain Hawks since 2006 two years ago, the Greyhounds made it back-to-back victories in the Patriot League opener last season, as a 70th minute free kick from Hannah Hoefs was the only scoring during a 1-0 road win on Sept. 21, 2019. 
• Paige Sim made five saves in goal to record a clean sheet in her first collegiate start.
