Loyola Women’s Basketball Falls to Hot-Shooting Braves in MVC Semifinals

Share this...

With only a few hours to prepare to face a new opponent due to an abrupt scheduling change, the No. 6-seeded Loyola women’s basketball team came up short against No. 5-seeded Bradley University 70-56 March 13 in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) semifinals in Moline, Illinois.

After upsetting No. 3-seeded Illinois State University by one point in the Hoops in the Heartland quarterfinals March 12, the Ramblers were set to play Drake University and Bradley was scheduled to square off with top-seeded Missouri State University in the semifinals March 13.

But Missouri State pulled out of the tournament due to concerns over COVID-19 after Bradley and Drake each had a positive test in their Tier I personnel.
