Loyola’s women’s basketball team (3-13, 1-4) had a 1-8 record before winter break, getting a nail biting 57-55 victory over the University of Illinois at Chicago Dec. 22. The break has been a turning point for the team, according to head coach Kate Achter.
Achter said she was impressed with the way the team has stepped up on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball since the fall semester ended. She said it’s evident the team wants to get better as practice improved over break.
“Obviously, we came away with a couple victories over break, which was great,” Achter said.
