CHICAGO – The LMU men's soccer team (1-2) was defeated by the DePaul Blue Demons (2-2) 3-0 on Sunday afternoon in Chicago. This match completed the Lions' Midwest swing, and ended up being the only game of the road trip after their contest at Loyola-Chicago was cut short and canceled due to inclement weather.
 
After a scoreless first half on Sunday, the Blue Demons put in their first goal in the match's 46th minute, scored by Isaac Friendt, to put DePaul up 1-0. Istvan Wilhems landed a header in the back of the net at the 57:12 mark to increase DePaul's lead to 2-0, and they ultimately went up 3-0 on a goal by Bryan Simons at 81:09.

LMU keeper Paul Lewis finished with four saves in the loss.
 
The Lions return to California and play one more road match at UC Irvine on Friday before returning to Sullivan Field to play Long Island next Sunday, Sept. 9, at 4 p.m.
