Clear skies and strong sunshine set the stage for the 44th Annual Sean Earl Lakefront Invitational, hosted by Loyola Sept. 29. The invitational included four events, and featured runners from 24 different universities, including nationally ranked No. 20 University of Tulsa and No. 23 Ole Miss University. The invitational, named in honor of former Rambler and cross-country athlete Sean Earl after his death in 2000, was held at the Sydney R.

The Loyola men’s soccer team took a hard 2-1 loss at home Saturday afternoon at the hands of Atlantic-10 opponent Virginia Commonwealth University. Prior to the match, a ceremony honoring the graduating Ramblers was held for Senior Day.

The Loyola women’s soccer team tied 0-0 with Atlantic-10 opponent Saint Joseph’s University in a highly contested match at Loyola Soccer Park Thursday night. The draw brings Loyola’s record to 4-5-2 and keeps them winless in A-10 competition where they currently sit 0-1-2. It’s the second straight 0-0 tie for the Ramblers after drawing against Duquesne University Sept. 17.
