CHICAGO – The Toledo women's soccer team suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat after giving up a goal with 14 seconds left at Loyola Chicago on Thursday.

The Rockets (1-3-1) scored first, but allowed the equalizer before the break. A late set piece led to the winning tally for the Ramblers (4-1-1), who have won all four games at home this season.

Freshman Morgan Spitler supplied Toledo's goal for her first of the year. Junior Agnes Stenlund made four saves on a .667 save percentage on the night.

HOW IT HAPPENED

17' | After an Olivia Dault shot was saved, Morgan Spitler blasted home the rebound from the left side of the box for a 1-0 lead.
30' | A hand ball was called in the box on Toledo and Loyola's Emily Rossi converted on the penalty kick in for a 1-1 tie.
50' | Grace Turski appeared to have scored for the Rockets, but the goal was called back for offsides.
68' | A Dault volley from inside the box nearly chipped the keeper, but the goalie recovered for an out-stretched save.
84' | LUC got a breakaway from a through-ball, but Agnes Stenlund came out to make the save.
90' | Loyola was awarded a corner kick. After Toledo could not clear the initial attempt, Taylor Harrison finished off a pass overtop the defense from right in front of the goal.
