The Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) announced Aug. 14 the decision to postpone all 2020 fall sports due to COVID-19 concerns. This leaves men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross-country, and women’s volleyball teams without a season for the time-being and — with Loyola’s on-campus housing closure — no in-person fans for the Ramblers.

With an unprecedented and difficult semester ahead, coaches and players said the best way to make a difference to athletes right now is to check-in and show support on social media.

Women’s soccer senior midfielder Lindsey Hardiman said she adapted well to working and preparing alone while everyone was in quarantine, but she still is a bit anxious about the year ahead since it’s her last year on the Ramblers.
