Both William & Mary and Loyola Maryland enter this matchup with clean slates, and that's exactly what makes an opener like this worth your attention. There's no film to lean on, no resume to hide behind — just two sides chasing the first statement of the season.
The Tribe hit the road looking to establish their identity away from home, while Loyola Maryland gets the Ridley Athletic Complex crowd behind them for what should be a tightly contested battle. In a season's first chapter, possession discipline and early chemistry often decide who walks off with momentum.
If you love college soccer's raw, anything-can-happen energy, this is your kind of night. Two hungry teams, one field, zero margin for a slow start.
