For about 74 days, 2021 had not treated the Loyola Greyhounds very well. Their season started Sunday a.m., Valentine’s Day in the Ridley Athletic Complex parking lot. That, in and of itself, wasn’t wrong; theoretically they should’ve been hosting Virginia. Instead, they were boarding two busses to Richmond to take on the Spiders, a traditional preseason scrimmage converted into a game for a host of COVID-related reasons. Typically, Charley Toomey like almost every DI coach preferred to practice at the venue they’re visiting, stay the night before a game in a hotel in the host city, play the game and then drive home. This year, the Greyhounds had planned to spend zero nights in a hotel prior to the Patriot League Tournament, and in order to better physically distance, travel in two busses to road games. ....
Don’t look now. The Loyola Greyhounds who were ranked No. 13 in the preseason, struggled to a dramatic season-opening win at Richmond on Valentine’s Day, played well in a loss to Virginia, had not won three-straight games all season and lost back-to-back contests to Army and Navy in mid-April those Loyola Greyhounds are peaking at the right time. Thanks to a 16-9 win over Navy in the Patriot League Quarterfinals Tuesday night at the Ridley Athletic Complex, the Hounds have won three in a row (including last Thursday’s win over then-No. 6 Georgetown) and take on the Black Knights in the conference semifinals on Friday at Lehigh. ....
Thu Apr 29 2021 | Matt DaSilva | College PHOTO BY LARRY FRENCH/LOYOLA ATHLETICS Sam Shafer made 13 saves Thursday as No. 20 Loyola defeated No. 9 Georgetown 11-9. No. 20 Loyola defeated a top 10-ranked opponent for the first time this season, using a staunch defensive effort to defeat No. 9 Georgetown 11-9 in the lone NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse game Thursday. “I just saw our confidence grow,” coach Charley Toomey said afterward on CBS Sports Network. “That’s something that’s got to take us forward. We broke our huddle and said it’s a new season.” The Greyhounds (7-5) trailed 7-5 midway through the third quarter but scored three goals in one minute, punctuated by a Bailey Savio goal five seconds after winning the faceoff, to take an 8-7 lead into the fourth quarter. ....
Inside Lacrosse Photo: Chris McNulty) There are four ways to examine Loyola s 11-9 win over Georgetown at the Ridley Athletic Complex on Thursday night: through a 10-year lens, through a three-month lens, through a 60-minute lens and through a 60-second lens. From 2008 through 2019, the Greyhounds won 11-of-12 matchups in the series, through the one-sided nature was reflected in the final scores eight of those games were decided by two goals or fewer, including 2011’s epic four-OT matchup. It’s an important game for both programs, Jesuit universities in the Mid-Atlantic with a lot of shared DNA. Coming into this game, though, there is little question the Hoyas were favored, amassing a 10-1 record, having avenged their lone loss to the season against Denver 10 days prior. The Hounds, on the other hand, were 6-5 and playing without three starters in attackman Joey Kamish, who is done for the season due to injury, A/M Evan James, who was held out due to lingering in ....
