After falling to second place in Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) standings as of Oct. 28, the Loyola women’s volleyball team is keeping its eyes on retaking first place.
The Ramblers came out of the gate hot and started the season 6-0 against conference opponents, including victories against Valparaiso University and Southern Illinois University.
Loyola head coach Amanda Berkley said the key to the Ramblers’ early success has been their ability to adapt offensively and switch up rotations. So far in MVC play, Berkley said she was impressed with how the young hitters on the team played against one of the better defenses of the season like Northern Iowa University and Illinois State University.
