After starting the regular season with one of two games at home, the Loyola women’s basketball team will be traveling nearly 5,000 miles over three weeks to play four teams on the road.
This year, the Ramblers won’t play a game at Gentile Arena between Nov. 13 and Dec. 4. They’ll be going out to face Eastern Illinois University, Chicago State University, University of Missouri-Kansas City and University of Portland.
Loyola ranked No. 254 on the final NCAA Rating Percentage Index (RPI) rankings last season, and of the schools they’ll face on this road swing, only Eastern Illinois ranked lower at No.
