After a strong 2014-15 campaign, the Loyola men’s club rugby team failed to meet the same expectations last year. This season, the Ramblers were determined to make a new name for themselves, according to the team captain, senior Reed Ronan.
The Ramblers proved just that on Oct. 15, when the team defeated DePaul University to win the coveted Red Line Cup. This win gave the team a 3-2 fall season finish — better than the season prior — but the Ramblers are still hungry for more, Ronan said.
With victories over the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), DePaul University and Illinois Wesleyan University, the team has made major steps toward becoming a contender in the Wisconsin Iowa Illinois (WIIL) conference of Division II USA Rugby.
