BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh men's soccer team will look to snap a three-game losing streak on Saturday evening when the Mountain Hawks travel to Baltimore to take on Loyola. Kickoff is slated for 5 p.m. from the Ridley Athletic Complex and free video will be available on the Patriot League Network.
The 6-6 Mountain Hawks are coming off a 2-0 defeat at Maryland Wednesday night. The Terrapins limited Lehigh's offensive attack to five shots, none of which were on target. The Terps held a 17-5 shot advantage and used a pair of goals from Mikias Eticha to capture the 2-0 victory. After starting Patriot League play 2-0 for the first time since 2006, the Mountain Hawks will be looking to bounce back from a pair of 2-0 losses to Lafayette and Boston University.
Junior Jamie Luchini leads the squad offensively with ten points behind four goals and a pair of assists. Freshman Doyle Tuvesson follows with three goals and an assist, good for seven points. Juniors Brian Vail and Austin Decker, along with senior Ali Famili, have also scored goals for Lehigh this season. In goal, senior keeper Ciaran Nugent has tallied a 3.73 saves per game average to go along with a 0.745 save percentage.
The Greyhounds enter Saturday's contest with a 4-6-2 overall mark and 1-3 Patriot League record. Loyola will also be looking to snap a three-game losing streak after dropping matches to Princeton (1-0), Army (2-1) and Bucknell (4-1). Loyola is 3-1 at home this season with the loss to Bucknell being the lone defeat on the Greyhounds' home turf.
Loyola has been outscored 14-8 this season. Connor Thompson and Ryan Tuck have each scored two goals apiece while four other Greyhounds have tallied one. Laurin Vogel has registered three assists. Matt Sanchez has seen all the time between the pipes and has made 46 saves to go along with a 1.12 GAA and 0.767 save percentage.
Saturday's game will be just the second time Lehigh and Loyola have ever met. The first contest took place a season ago in Loyola's first year as a Patriot League member. The Mountain Hawks grabbed a 1-0 win as Gianfranco Giammatteo scored the game-winning goal in the 20th minute.
Following Saturday's game, Lehigh returns home to host Fairleigh Dickinson on Tuesday before welcoming Army Saturday. Both matches are slated for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast for free on the Patriot League Network.
