The Loyola men’s volleyball team has struggled to open its season. After starting 4-3, the Ramblers are looking to use their tough early schedule to help give their young roster confidence moving forward.
The Ramblers went 1-3 against ranked opponents in their back-and-forth first seven games, winning no more than two games in a row in that stretch.
Head coach Mark Hulse said he designed a difficult schedule so the team could analyze how it compared to the best teams in the country.
“When setting up our schedule for this season, I scheduled the best teams as possible to know where we stand and how we match up against them later in the season,” said Hulse.
