Loyola Blakefield soccer has once again claimed the MIAA 'A' Conference Championship after an impressive fall campaign. The #1 ranked Dons faced off against #2 Archbishop Curley on Sunday, November 10th at UMBC Stadium. Scoring was led by Sammie Walker '25 (1) and Brody Good '27 (1).
“Repeating was definitely 10 times harder than we thought it was going to be, but we fought through it all and had the team to do it,” said Walker, a West Virginia commit.
Speaking to the Baltimore Sun, first-year coach Geaton Caltabiano had this to say about the team's impressive Fall campaign:
"It was a lot of pressure from Day 1, a lot of expectations,” said Caltabiano, who also won a MIAA A Conference championship as a player for Mount Saint Joseph. “Then we had a couple of dips during the season and some people wanted to write us off and I give this group a lot of credit. After we lost to Concordia … we really came together as a team, we showed our character and responded really well. Things could have gone the wrong way, but good teams, championship teams stick together.”
