In the midst of a rough season, the Loyola women’s basketball team (5-18, 3-9) is beginning to see the start to its rebuild, winning two of its last four contests in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC).

During the week-long stretch, the Ramblers picked up an 82-63 win over the University of Evansville Jan. 28 and a 71-61 victory over Bradley University in Peoria for their first MVC road win Feb. 4. The team followed this with a hot first half against Valparaiso University Feb. 11 but lost 63-53 after giving up a 30 point fourth quarter.

Head coach Kate Achter attributed the stretch to a collective effort and the team’s continuous improvement on chemistry — a sentiment reflected in the box score.
