the spartan team took the field looking to pick up its fifth win of the season. having gone scoreless in its last game, s gsu scored a goal putting the spartans ahead. neither team would score for the remainder of the half. defense seemed to be the primary focus for both teams as the second half began and play became more physical. midway into the second half the spartans hurt themself (sic), receiving a yellow card and setting up a free kick for loyola. rafael baca proceeded to put his team on the board. it looked as if the game may go to overtime with the score still tied at one apiece, until
