Women's Soccer Dominates in MAAC Semis - Readies for Sunday's Title Match

Loyola’s Women’s Soccer team is in Loudonville, NY for one reason and one reason only this weekend… to win two matches and gain a trip to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season.

They wasted absolutely no time getting off on the right foot. Just nineteen minutes into their semifinal match against of Canisius, the ‘Hounds had already built a 3-0 lead. Due to an aggressive Loyola attack and stingy defense, the Golden Griffens were never able to get back in the contest and found themselves on the losing end of a 4-2 result. The tallies for the Greyhounds were registered by Theresa Ferraina, Christina Gomez, Lina Staropoli, and Lea Day.

The winner of Friday’s second semifinal, either the #2 seeded Fairfield Stags or the host and 3^rd seeded Saints of Siena, will face Loyola, now unbeaten in 12 straight games, Sunday afternoon at 1pm for the MAAC Tournament Championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
