WASHINGTON – The No. 16/20 Hoyas downed Loyola Marymount 1-0 on Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Hoyas improve to 1-0-1 while the Lions slide to 0-2-0.  
 
 
Head Coach Dave Nolan
"First off, I have to congratulate the girls on finding a way to win a game in possibly the most difficult circumstances to play a game. An impending hurricane, a moved up kick off, a monsoon to play in and knowing that we need to have a goal scored by the 70th minute or risk the game being tied or even lost due to the weather cancellation.
 
We didn't play as well as we wanted but, credit to LMU and their staff for having a plan to keep the game tight and executing it well. It took a moment of composure and hustle to fashion a goal that Erika Harwood finished brilliantly. We now have to get home and prepare for Bucknell on Thursday."
