Season Over

Another very disappointing end to a season as Loyola loses at home 3-0 to the sixth seed Purdue Fort Wayne.

Any thoughts on the coaching change?

Any thoughts on the coaching change?

It's too bad... I think Hulse was a very good recruiter, but had some trouble with in-game and pre-game coaching. To illustrate, Loyola ended the season with a chance to win the regular season and #1 seed in the MIVA conference, but got swept at home on senior night by unranked Ohio State (they beat Ohio State on the road in mid February). Then, after getting stuck with the #2 seed, Loyola lost their second round playoff game at home to IPFW in another 3-0 sweep after beating IPFW twice during the season, 3-0 and 3-1. Sure, you swept two regular season games to the top team in the league, Ball State, but losing 3-0 to Grand Canyon, getting swept on the season by McKendree, and dropping a match 3-0 to Lincoln Memorial makes it look like there's a problem strategically.
