LOVELAND, OH (October 26, 2020)  – The Loveland boys soccer team will take on the Elder Panthers tonight in an effort to advance to the next round of OHSAA postseason tournament play.

The Tigers have collected two wins in postseason play this fall. They defeated the Withrow Tigers 7-0 in opening round action last Monday. It wat their highest goal output of the 2020 season until they put 9 in the net in a 9-0 shutout win over Mt. Healthy at Tiger Stadium in Loveland last Thursday.

The two wins advanced them to the OHSAA D-I South semi-final match with Elder tonight. Loveland is 12-2-3 overall with a 6-1-1 league record that earned them a share of the ECC season championship with Turpin. This is the third straight ECC championship for the Loveland Boys Soccer Team.
