Men's Soccer Wins Wild MVC Tournament Final

Post by JCT »

With 69 seconds left in their season, trailing 1-0 to the undefeated and 9th-ranked Missouri State team, the Ramblers tied the score on an amazing header from a free kick into box.



Loyola goes on through 2 OTs and wins on penalty kicks to punch a ticket to the NCAA Tournament.

Ramblers play Kentucky in Lexington on Thursday. The SEC doesn't have men's soccer, so they play in C-USA. I think this is a good draw for LU.

One of only 16 schools to send both men's and women's teams to the NCAA soccer tourneys.

Kentucky gets a late 2nd half penalty kick to tie the game with less than 10 minutes left, and wins in the second overtime, 2-1.

Great season, and I'm not going to second guess the strategy in the 2nd half and OT. We got to the NCAA Tournament and came within 9 minutes of a shootout on the road against a school with an athletic budget 6 times what we spend.

tough loss....If you mean strategy,,,I wish they had been a little more aggressive offensively after the game became tied...but Kentucky looked bigger and quicker.....and I love soccer but frankly dont know much about over all strategy....but really great job for the men and women.....one of 16 and most of em the big boys.....Congrats
