The Loyola women’s volleyball team (6-4) is preparing for a season like no other. With tougher teams on its schedule and Loyola’s joining the Atlantic 10 (A-10) conference, the team has difficult matches ahead, but is ready for the challenge.

The team’s preseason started at the Tennessee Cup on Aug. 26 where it faced Bowling Green University, the University of Tennessee and No. 9 Purdue University. The Ramblers were able to pull out a 3-1 win against Bowling Green but dropped the second and third matches. Despite their losses, senior outside hitter Addie Barnes said it was important in the team’s season preparation.
