Loyola varsity soccer team goes 12-0 in Mission League, outscores league opponents 45-4
Loyola has long had one of the state and nation's premier prep soccer programs under the exceptional tutelage of head coach CHRIS WALTER '93, and the 2017-2018 campaign has seen yet another superlative regular season performance by the Cubs.
In Loyola's final Mission League match of the season at Bob Smith Field on Wednesday, the Cubs downed Sherman Oaks Notre Dame, 4-2, finishing conference play with a 12-0 record. Even more impressive than its undefeated loop ledger was the manner by which Loyola dominated its Mission League foes. The Cubs recorded nine shutouts and outscored their conference opposition by the cumulative score of 45-4. Loyola is currently ranked third in the CIF Southern Section Division I coaches poll and is likely to earn the third seed in the playoffs which get underway next week. The squad has an impressive 20-2-6 overall record.
Seniors AIDAN CUEVAS and DECLAN GAFFNEY signed letters of intent on Wednesday to play collegiate soccer at UCSD and the University of Michigan, respectively.

Loyola (13-12, 5-7) hopes to earn a berth in the CIF Southern Section Division I playoffs which commence next week.
