Column: Loyola Fall Sports Struggle Out of the Gate

I keep hearing people around campus say “Our sports teams are on the rise,” and “We’re becoming a sports school.” I disagree.

Yes, there are definitely some Loyola sports teams on the rise. It would be silly to think otherwise, especially after the men’s basketball team’s run to the Final Four.

But here’s the thing, the teams might be predicted to be good,but they haven’t proven it yet.

Take the women’s soccer team, which was voted as the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) preseason favorite. The team currently holds a 3-3-0 record and can’t seem to pull together any consistent offense or defense.
