In 2012, Erik Hoops was finishing his senior season on the Loyola men’s golf team and Carly Schneider was coming off her sophomore campaign on the women’s team.
At that time, the programs were more separated than they are today — there wasn’t an overarching director of golf like the program has now. But the two still saw each other around campus and briefly talked.
After Hoops graduated, they went their separate ways and started to lose contact. Five years later, the duo is back at its alma mater on the coaching staff.
Hoops’ Return
After graduating as a sport management and accounting double-major, Hoops headed to the University of Toledo as a Graduate Assistant for the golf team in 2013.
