Before the seedings and about three weeks, before the playoffs starting, Gallstar professed an undeniable claim that Loyola Prep was his pick to win the D-3. Then the tournament brackets came out, and I quickly realized that Loyola would have to beat back to back down the Bayou teams. There are no words to describe how difficult it is to win at ED White and Vandy during the playoffs. Then add in the possible back to the back scenario. Yikes! This year's Loyola team is capable of pulling off such a victory because they've got some incredible variations of skillsets. They can play possession, direct, big, small and anything else you might want to throw at them. Down the I-49 to hwy. 90 south Loyola must go!
ED white made it into the quarters by upending a very good Hannan side. The difficulty speaks very well to the overall competitiveness of the D-3 this year. This win put ED back on track after getting beat decisively by Vandy just before the playoffs. I think they've regained a little confidence but I do not believe they are headed to the semi-final revenge match they've been hoping for. They're young and could use another year of growth to compete with this mature Loyola side.
Gallstar picks Loyola to win this one 3-1.

This is as tough a game as any to pick. I think ED gets it done at home 4-2

Recap: Loyola scores on pk within first minutes of game with a hard foul in the box by edw defender. Edw controlled most of the first half from that point on. Edw couldn’t find the back of the net. Half 1-0 for Loyola Early in second half loyola pressures edw back line with numbers and finds a player standing alone inside the 18 (which appeared off sides) AR moved out of position with the edw defenders but left Loyola player behind, he was out of position. EDW again took control and out shot and played Loyola from that pojjt on. Edw very unlucky not to score on a number of one v ones. Edw get a foul in box for a pk, pk slotted in side net. Momentum stays with the cardinals till final whistle, edw was better team but need to find the net which they didn’t do tonight , even though they out shot Loyola by double digits, Well played game. But that’s soccer sometime better team doesn’t win, Congrats to Loyola

Thats what makes loyola so dangerous! they dont have to dominate a game to beat you. These guys keep finding ways to beat teams they play. Its never the same strategy with them.
