The Loyola Marymount University Lions men's soccer team (10-5-3, 5-1-0 WCC) found themselves in a defensive battle with host No. 12 Saint Mary's and gave up goals early in the first half and late in the second which proved to be the difference in a 2-0 loss to the Gaels. LMU dropped their first game in almost a month but still has an opportunity to claim a share of the West Coast Conference Championship with a win and a Gaels loss next weekend.
