Graduate defender Aly Kilburg’s career with the Loyola women’s soccer team has been nothing short of inspirational. The four-time Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Champion is tied for the most conference titles in program history, but what’s more impressive is her accomplishments took place while enduring the loss of her father, Jim Kilburg, to cancer. Despite her loss, Kilburg carries her father’s legacy by excelling as a student athlete and helping her family with the Jim Kilburg Foundation.

A Park Ridge, Illinois native, Kilburg said her dad played sports all his life until he became a well-recognized coach of multiple sports in her hometown.
