BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men's soccer team looks to get back in the win column Saturday evening when the Mountain Hawks host Loyola in a key Patriot League matchup. The contest is set to kickoff at 7 p.m. from Ulrich Sports Complex and free video will be available on the Patriot League Network.
 
Lehigh will look to bounce back from a heartbreaking 3-2 loss to Army West Point Sunday. After trailing 2-1 the majority of the second half, freshman Alex Greene scored an equalizer in the 88th minute to even the score at 2-2. The Black Knights took only 20 seconds to respond and netted the game-winning goal to drop Lehigh to 1-3 in league play and 6-5-1 overall. Senior Jamie Luchini scored Lehigh's first goal, while junior keeper Jacob Gottwald tallied three saves in the loss.
 
Luchini leads the team with 14 points, tied for second in the Patriot League, behind five goals and four assists. Freshman Mark Forrest follows with 13 points thanks to five goals and three assists. Sophomore keeper Joe Bogan has recorded five shutouts in goal this season to go along with a 0.96 GAA and a 0.824 save percentage.
 
Loyola enters Saturday's match with 0-3-1 league record and 1-8-2 overall mark. The Greyhounds have dropped their last two games, including a 2-1 loss at Boston University last Saturday in the team's most recent action. Loyola's one point in league play game from a double-overtime 1-1 draw against Lafayette on Oct. 3.
 
The Greyhounds have only been able to find the back of the net three times this season and have been outscored by their opponents 24-3. Brennan Goldsmith, A. Mickey Watson and Brad Warnicz have each tallied a goal this season, while Goldsmith leads the team with three points. Keeper Matt Sanchez has made 41 saves to go along with a .719 save percentage and 1.53 GAA.  
 
Lehigh and Loyola have only met two times in the past, with the series even at 1-1. The Greyhounds earned a 2-1 double-overtime victory last season in Baltimore.
 
 
The Mountain Hawks return to action Tuesday for Lehigh's final non-league matchup of the season against James Madison. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. from the Ulrich Sports Complex and free video will be available on the Patriot League Network.
