PHILADELPHIA – The La Salle men's soccer team continues nonconcference action this week as they visit Loyola in Baltimore on Wednesday before they host Stetson at McCarthy Stadium on Sunday.

Scouting the Explorers

La Salle is looking to carry their performance from Saturday's first half against Temple into the weekend. The Explorers scored in the 1^st minute and again in the 14^th, but settled for a tie after Temple scored two unanswered goals in the second half.

Matt Robinson delivered a cross from Andrew Connors inside the left post to get the Explorers started before Joe Farrell made it 2-0 on a feed from George Breslin that he punched in off the diving keeper's fingertips.

Scouting the Greyhounds

Loyola went 1-0-1 last week at Drexel and Stetson, topping the Dragons 1-0 on Wednesday before drawing the Hatters 1-1 on Saturday.

Sophomore Ryan Tuck is coming off Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week honors last week after anchoring a back line that shutout Drexel and scoring his first career goal in the tie with Stetson.

The two teams have split their previous two meetings, with the Greyhounds taking a 5-3 decision last September after the Explorers triumphed 1-0 back in 2012.

Scouting the Hatters

The Hatters are winless in their last three tries, falling to Campbell on September 11 sandwiched between draws with Florida International and Loyola. Stetson's JJ Lofthouse-Smith was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Defensive Player of the Week last week after making six saves against Loyola.  Normally a field player, the senior was forced to make his first career start in goal because of injuries.

A trio of Hatters (Jared Huber, JJ Bostic, Ross Morrison) have scored a pair of goals for a balanced Stetson attack, while Jeppe Moe leads the squad with two assists.

The Explorers beat Stetson 3-1 on the road last September, scoring three unanswered goals to starte the game before the Hatters found the back of the net in the 88^th minute.
