Unfortunately we have not been competitive with Loyola except for a one goal loss several years back and the first half of last year's Patriot League final. We have had no answers for containing Spencer and our offense under performs when we play them. Loyola is not a particularly good defensive team as evidenced by BU putting up 18 goals against them on Saturday. That said, we do have BU's number, losing to them only once since they started their program. They are playing really well now, however, and if we are able to hold onto the second seed in the PL tournament, we most likely will face them again in the semifinals. They will be a much tougher out than Army in my opinion.
First things first - beat Bucknell on Saturday. I believe one more win in the PL will secure the second seed. On paper, we should beat both Bucknell and Holy Cross, however, HC is playing well and it will be much tougher playing on the road. We cannot afford another effort like the one last week vs. RMU!
