Box Score WASHINGTON – For the second straight game, American University men's soccer faced Loyola Maryland. And for the second straight game, 90 minutes wasn't enough as the Eagles and Greyhounds fought to a 1-1 tie after two overtime periods.
 
QUICK NOTABLES

• David Coly scored American's lone goal in the 8^th minute after Kevin Ventura served a long ball into the box from the other side of the field. It's Coly's second goal of season and sixth of his career.
• Loyola's consistent offensive pressure resulted in the equalizer in the 29^th minute as the Greyhounds executed a smooth series of passes that was finished by Sam Brown.
• Despite being out-shot, 19-4, American's back line held strong and didn't allow many quality chances, only putting four shots on goal.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Loyola fired off a shot less than a minute into the game but it was off target.
• In the 8^th minute, good field vision from Ventura allowed him to boot a ball all the way into the box from his spot on the opposite side of the field, finding Coly who was able to beat his defenders and slot the first goal of the game.

Fantastic finish by David Coly to put AU on top#AUMSOC | #BeAnEagle
