The team bussed down to Raleigh, NC for the NSCRO Champions Cup Round of 16 and Quarterfinals. For the Round of 16, Loyola faced off against Christendom College, the fifth ranked team in the country. It started raining during the match, and the teams played through rain and mud. Unfortunately the men did not prevail and Loyola falls to Christendom 7-23. Loyola is eliminated from NSCRO Champions Cup playoffs, and will play for third place on Sunday, December 2 against Eckerd College.
Loyola hits the pitch to face off against Eckerd College for third place. With rain all day the day before and rain overnight, the pitch was still muddy. Despite the poor conditions, the Loyola men beats Eckerd 18-14 to lock up third place. Thank you to all of the friends, family, alumni for either traveling down to Raleigh or tuning into the livestream of the matches. See you next semester!

The team traveled up to Selinsgrove, PA to battle the second best team in the country, Susquehanna University. The whole Northeast was hit with snow during the week, so the snow had to be shoveled off for the match on a cold night. The match was a nail biter, with Loyola dominating in the first half, but Susquehanna coming back to tie up the match late in the second half. With the last touch of the match, Loyola was able to punch in a try to come out on top with a score of 38-33. Congratulations to the hard working Loyola men on qualifying to the Round of 16 in Raleigh, NC. They will face off against Christendom in two weeks. Loyola's rank moves up to sixth in the country.

This Homecoming weekend, undefeated Loyola hosted undefeated Catholic for a battle for first place in the conference and the inaugural Bird Dog Cup. The weather was very rough, but that did not stop alumni, family, and friends from attending such a crucial match and supporting the club. Loyola went down early on in the match, but the men did not give up and scored two tries. In the end, it was not enough to defeat a strong Catholic side. Loyola fell short 14-38. Catholic then secures first place in the conference, and Loyola secures second. The second side faced UMBC's second side on Thursday night, and walked away with a victory.

Loyola began their Fall 2018 season with a scrimmage against the University of Maryland. Despite the pouring rain, it was a great day to kick off the season. As a Division 1 side, the University of Maryland was a great test for Loyola after coming off of the best season in the club's history. The match was very physical with the conditions tough to play in. Loyola fell short with a score of 49-14 against a strong Division 1 team, but showed positive signs despite the short time the team has been together since the beginning of the school year. This is a step in the right direction to reach the goals made this season. Our developmental side also showed positivity, despite losing 28-0.
