Loyola beat IPFW and lost to Ball State. Tough way to finish the regular season as Loyola only needed two more points in the final match to clinch a 4th seed. As is, Loyola has to travel back to Ball State this Saturday as the 5th seed. It came down to the third tiebreaker of point differential after match record and set record. Loyola won by 19 and Ball State won by 20. I actually don't know what the tiebreaker would have been if Loyola got one more point.
