BOSTON – Looking to carry momentum from last weekend's 2-0 win over Bucknell, the Boston University men's soccer team will continue Patriot League play at Loyola Maryland on Saturday with action set to begin at 1 p.m.

Only four conference games remain, and the standings are jam-packed, as the Terriers sit in eighth at six points, only two behind the No. 5 Greyhounds and four behind No. 2 American, a squad that will visit BU on Oct. 23. The Terriers earned their second multi-goal performance of the season against the Bison and will face a Loyola team that will try to rebound from having its four-game unbeaten streak snapped this past Monday at No. 7 Syracuse (6-1).
