LA 2, Brother Rice 0

Loyola defeated Brother Rice, 2-0, completing a sweep of the Chicago Catholic League. Aleks Urosevic scored twice, with an assist to Dylan Remick. The Ramblers also finish their regular season with a record of 14-2-2.
This was the 8th shutout of the year for the defense, led by Tim Durso, Pat Kasten, John Manganaro and goalkeeper Neal Manahan.
This championship team is the first Loyola squad to develop all four years under Coach Etheridge, who arrived at Loyola in 2004.

LA 7, Guerin Prep 0

Tommy Belton's first half hat trick (on feeds by Tewdros Tesfamicael, Cody Busic and Clayton Condon) highlighted a charge that led Loyola to a 5-0 halftime lead. Additional opening stanza goals were scored by Tesfamicael (from Dylan Remick) and Spencer Remick (from Dylan Remick).
Tim Durso's two second half goals (one from Pat Kasten) closed out the scoring. Neal Manahan and Mehron Beheshti shared the duties in the net.

LA 2, Deerfield 2

LA traveled to Deerfield's narrow, divot-filled football stadium, and came away with a 2-2 tie. Deerfield started off with the wind at their backs and scored about 10 minutes in. The Ramblers had a few good attacks, but came away emptyhanded as Deerfield led 2-0 at the half.

A rejuvenated Loyola team took charge in the second half, tied it up, hit the crossbar a few times and pounded the keeper as Deerfield played the clock and got away with the tie. Second half goals by Aleks Urosevic and Dylan Remick. Mehron Beheshti in goal.
Loyola's record goes to 12-2-2; Deerfield, 11-4-4.

LA 2, St. Rita 1

After a grueling 3 hour bus ride, Loyola was late arriving to St. Rita, and the Ramblers never really got on track. Dave Cushwa passed to Aleks Urosevic for the first tally. St. Rita later scored on a penalty kick after a hand ball. A second half goal was scored by Peter Bolton, thanks to an assist from Cody Busic. Mehron Beheshti did a fine job in his goalkeeping debut for the Ramblers.

LA 5, Fenwick 1

Loyola's Senior Night was a success with a 5-1 dismantling of the Fenwick Friars. Fenwick struck first with a strong wind at their backs about 3 minutes into the match. The Ramblers came back aggressively with consecutive goals by Dave Cushwa (one on a perfect setup from Michael Berens) to re-take control of the contest before halftime.

The second half was all LA. Aleks Urosevic's goal after a Tommy Belton pass started things off, and was closely followed by Belton's header off of a Cushwa feed. Tim Durso had a few breakaways but was held back by some offside calls, and Mike (08) McGuire closed out the scoring after breaking loose from 2 Fenwick defenders. Seniors Clayton Condon, Pat Kasten, Dan Wzrosek and Peter Bolton all played well.
Loyola improves to 11-2-1 and remains unbeaten in the Catholic League, while Fenwick drops to 11-4-2.

LA 2, Niles North 1

Loyola went into halftime ahead 2 goals to none thanks to goals by Peter Bolton (from Spencer Remick) and Dan Wrzosek (from Bolton). Despite a strong second half offensively, the Ramblers were unable to score in the second period. Niles North converted a penalty kick for their only offensive push.

LA 3, St. Ignatius 0

The Ramblers defeated St. Ignatius, 3-0. Peter Bolton's put-back (video) led a first half charge in which LA's offensive attack kept the Wolfpack on their heels. Loyola continued the assault in the second half; Matt Ricolcol's beautiful feed to Aleks Urosevic closed out the scoring. The shutout was the sixth of the year for keeper Neal Manahan and the Rambler defense, and the third consecutive in the Chicago Catholic League.

DeSmet Jesuit 3, LA 0

DeSmet Jesuit High School, ranked #1 in the U.S. by NSCAA, defeated the Ramblers, 3-0, in St. Louis.

LA 4, Providence 0

A second half goal by Urosevic (from Dylan Remick) closed out the scoring. All three goals came on headers. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Ramblers and the third consecutive shutout by keeper Neal Manahan.

LA 3, International 0

The Ramblers finished up the Brebeuf Shootout with a convincing 3-0 win over International School of Indiana. Although Loyola controlled the ball throughout the contest, Mike (08) McGuire's header (video) after a cross by Matt Ricolcol was the lone goal of the first period. Spencer Remick's pinpoint accurate shot from the endline after a re-start pass from brother Dylan accounted for the second goal. Peter Bolton then fed Cody Busic, who shook loose from two defenders to close out the scoring. Busic was the 9th different Rambler to score over the last three games inside of 48 hours. Neal Manahan went the distance in goal for his second consecutive shutout.

LA 2, Brebeuf Jesuit 0

The Ramblers traveled to Indianapolis to take on the Brebeuf Jesuit Braves and won, 2-0. Loyola started out strong, but was unable to score until Aleks Urosevic challenged the aggressive Brebeuf keeper, schooled him, and drove to the end line (video) before going far post with 1:00 remaining in the first half. Tommy Belton quickly followed with a laser beam from 20 yards out with 0:30 remaining to go into the intermission 2-0. Although LA controlled much of the second half, there was no scoring. Brebeuf is ranked #8 in the state of Indiana.

LA 5, Lake View 1

Loyola's home opener was a success with a defeat of previously unbeaten Lake View by a score of 5 to 1. Pat Kasten scored just before the intermission on a 45 yard field goal to put the Ramblers ahead to stay. LA opened things up in the second half with goals by Spencer Remick, Peter Bolton, Mike (09) McGuire and Dan Wzrosek. Loyola's record climbs to 4-1-1. Lake View's record falls to 7-1. Additional images..... Thursday's Pioneer Press article.

LA 2, St. Charles North 1

Loyola defeated St. Charles North in the Pepsi Showdown, 2-1. Peter Bolton's put-back gave the Ramblers the early lead and highlighted a first half in which Loyola controlled the action. The Ramblers continued to dominate in the second stanza and a Dylan Remick to Spencer Remick combination closed out the scoring with about 5 minutes to go. -St. Charles North is currently ranked #1 by the Chicago Sun-Times, and is coming off an impressive tournament win in Barrington.

LA 7, Grayslake Central 2

The Ramblers beat up on defending champion Grayslake Central to close out the Glenbrook South Tournament. Aleks Urosevic had a hat trick, Tommy Belton put in a pair, while Dave Cushwa and Dylan Remick each scored once and assisted twice. Mike (09) McGuire picked up a nice assist.
St. Viator won the tourney by edging Glenbrook South 3-2.

LA 1, St. Viator 1

Loyola dominated the first half once again, taking a 1-0 lead on Dave Cushwa's put-back of a rejected shot. LA's offense kept the pressure on, twice hitting the post and peppering the Lions' keeper with shots. The Ramblers seemed to deflate at the end as St. Viator scored on a breakaway to sneak away with a tie. The Lions advance to the finals.
Saturday's wrap-up will be at 11:00 am in the stadium against the Rams of Grayslake Central in a full 80 minute contest.

Stevenson 2, LA 0

After dominating the first half of play without scoring, Loyola let Stevenson into the game in the second half and score two unanswered goals.

LA 3, Leyden 0

The Ramblers got off to a great start by controlling Leyden, 3-0. Playing most of the match a man down, Loyola kept constant pressure on the Eagles' keeper. Tommy Belton scored the first goal of the new season after a strong offensive push, and Aleks Urosevic showed off some new speed on a 40-yard breakaway to make it 2-0 at the half. Mike (08) McGuire's nifty pass to Spencer Remick led to the final tally. Neal Manahan tossed a shutout in his varsity debut in goal.

Elgin Tournament Champions

The Loyola Ramblers won the Elgin Summer Tournament, winning all five games convincingly. The offense showed some power by averaging 5 goals per game, and the defense held its own by allowing a mere 0.6 goals per game. Loyola was led offensively by Dylan Remick's 8 goals and 6 assists, and Aleks Urosevic's 6 goals and 7 assists. Ten different Ramblers were involved in the scoring, and the defense dominated every game.
