BALTIMORE, Md. -- Kelan Swales took a crossing pass from Jordy Luchies in the 61st minute and the hosts made it stand as Loyola defeated Old Dominion 1-0 in men's soccer on Friday night.

A scoreless first half saw Old Dominion (1-2) hold a 6-3 advantage in shots, and a 5-1 lead in corner kicks.  In the 61st minute, Luchies found Swales who put one in the back of the net to give Loyola (2-1) a 1-0 lead.
