2 DEAR RAMBLERS, Over the years, our student-athletes have set world records and represented us in the Olympic games. They have won 48 conference championships as well as three national championships. More importantly, our student-athletes have also been champions in the community (giving back thousands of hours in service to local causes) and champions in the classroom (posting the #1 Graduation Success Rate in the nation two years in a row). All of these successes would not have been possible without the loyal support of the dedicated Rambler faithful! We thank you. At no point in our recent athletic or academic history have we been better positioned to achieve sustained high-level success. There is a great opportunity right now for the Ramblers to become a consistent force in the Missouri Valley Conference as we continue to be committed to our mission of nationally recognized academic achievement, selfless community service, high-level competitive excellence and uncompromising character. It truly is a transformational time for Loyola and we need you. Competition for the best student-athletes is fierce, and your investment in the Loyola Athletic Fund provides our coaches the resources they need to recruit top level talent. Your investment also provides vital operating support that includes leadership development, facility and equipment enhancements, game atmosphere improvements and creating world-class experiences for our student-athletes. Again, we thank you for all you have done and look forward to all we ll do in the future, together. Onward, LU! Steve Watson, Director of Athletics SIENNA CRUZ WOMEN S SOCCER
