Following a series of tough non-conference losses, the Loyola women’s soccer team (3-5-1) is hoping regular conference play will change the pace.
The Ramblers had five losses in a seven game span during the preseason. They played against difficult teams — No. 14/13 Oklahoma State University and No. 14/19 University of Notre Dame — which taught the Ramblers some tough lessons and forced them to prepare for what’s to come in conference play.
But head coach Barry Bimbi said Loyola’s lack of wins allowed the players to learn a lot about themselves.
“I think our girls have gotten better every game,” Bimbi said.
