Loyola's MacDonnell questionable vs. Air Force
Loyola senior attackman Cooper MacDonnell is still plagued by an injured right shoulder and is listed as day-to-day as the No. 11 Greyhounds prepare for a visit from Eastern College Athletic Conference opponent Air Force on Saturday.
MacDonnell suffered the injury in the team’s ECAC opener against Quinnipiac on Feb. 27 and sat out back-to-back contests against Bellarmine and then-No. 4 Notre Dame.
He started in Loyola’s 8-5 loss to No. 9 Duke last Saturday and scored a goal, but looked a little rusty.
"It was the first time that he actually had a stick in his hand and was able to go full speed," coach Charley Toomey said. "I think what you found is that when a guy doesn’t practice for two weeks, his timing is going to be off. He went 1-of-11 shooting the ball, and I don’t think he played at the level that he’s accustomed to playing. But we’re working on getting that timing back, and we’re hopeful that he’s going to go again this week. We’ve really had to limit what he can do at practice just because of the nature of his injury. So he’ll be day-to-day."
