MIVA Veterans Might Prove Tough for Ramblers
Despite starting 3-1 in conference play, the No. 10 Loyola men’s volleyball team has only played one match against the perennial powerhouses of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA).
The Ramblers are currently tied for third in the MIVA standings, but have only played No. 1 Ohio State University, which easily swept Loyola 3-0.
The team’s biggest tests will come when it plays Ball State University (BSU), Lewis University, Grand Canyon University (GCU) and The Ohio State University (OSU) for the second time.
Head coach Mark Hulse said preparation for the conference games is the same as any other team, but it does help to know what to expect.
