The Loyola women’s volleyball team (8-2) opened the inaugural Chicago Cup with a 3-0 sweep of DePaul University at Gentile Arena Friday night. The victory extends the Ramblers’ win streak to eight games — the program’s longest winning streak since 2015.
“It feels good to beat DePaul,” Loyola head coach Amanda Berkley said after the match. “I don’t know if I feel the rivalry yet, with this being my first year here, but I definitely think it’s fun to beat an [intra-city] team.”
Sophomore middle blocker Elle Van Grinsven led the charge for Loyola with 16 kills — one short of her career high.
