ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – The St. Bonaventure women's soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision to Loyola Chicago Thursday evening under the lights at the Marra Athletics Complex.
 
The Ramblers (5-2-6, 2-0-3 A10) struck first in the 22nd minute when Mia Lanni found the back of the net off assists from Ava Fleming and Zoe Hevey to give the visitors a 1-0 advantage.
 
Loyola Chicago doubled its lead in the 35th minute as Ansley Cryan capitalized on a chance, sending the Ramblers into halftime with a two-goal cushion.
 
The Bonnies (3-8-1, 0-5-0 A10) looked to generate opportunities throughout the contest but were unable to break through against Loyola's back line.
 
The Ramblers added an insurance goal in the 55th minute to extend the lead to 3-0.
 
Senior goalkeeper Juliana Castellano turned in a busy performance for SBU, recording 10 saves while playing all 90 minutes.
  
QUOTES FROM HEAD COACH RAY LEONE
"Obviously we're going to be disappointed when the result doesn't go our way, but we competed and we really played well against a very good team. We're growing. We've got to grow and play through mistakes and learn from them. We played a million times better than we did in the last two, so this is a good step."
 
UP NEXT
The Bonnies will return to action this upcoming Sunday, traveling to face Rhode Island in another Atlantic 10 matchup. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.
