The senior attack scored five goals and assisted on three others to lead the No. 2-ranked Saints over first-time entrant Seton Hill 16-13 in the NCAA tournament quarter-final at Gaffney, South Carolina on Saturday.
After a scoreless first 10 minutes, Loewen accounted for three of Limestone's next five goals and assisted on a fourth to put the Conference Carolinas champs ahead 5-0.
