After finishing eighth out of nine teams at last year’s Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Championship, the Loyola men’s golf team spent its summer with a chip on its shoulder. With the 2019 season starting next week, head coach Erik Hoops said his team’s ready to put that disappointing finish behind them.
“Obviously, our MVC finish wasn’t exactly what we hoped for,” Hoops said. “Obviously, everyone was kind of upset about it. … I talked to all the guys after it was over and was like, ‘Hey, here’s your motivation for what to work on this upcoming summer because we can’t let it happen again.
