BALTIMORE – Back-to-back goals in the early part of the second half pushed Loyola Maryland to a 3-0 win over American University men's soccer on Tuesday night at Ridley Athletic Complex.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• In the 42nd minute, fresh off subbing into the match, Mattias Cooper served up a great free kick into the box that found the head of Kevin Ventura. Unfortunately, Ventura's header bounced up and off the crossbar and out of danger.
