Tremendous win by the #1 Ramblers over #10 Lewis tonight at Gentile Arena.
Last year, the road team won all three meetings between Loyola and their MIVA nemesis Lewis-- capped by Loyola's 3-2 victory in the MIVA Final in Romeoville. Loyola beat Lewis 3-1 in Romeoville on Feb. 5, part of the Ramblers' 14-match winning streak leading up to tonight's matchup.
Lewis put a scare in the Ramblers in the first set by winning it 25-22, but Loyola came back to win the final three sets 25-23, 25-19, 25-19.
In Loyola's 15-match winning streak since Jan. 4, the Ramblers have won 45 out of 50 sets. The Ramblers have won 51 out of the 62 sets they've played all year. Loyola now stands at 17-1 on the season, with a 9-1 record against teams that were then-- or have since appeared-- in the national rankings.
Up next is #14 Penn State at Gentile Arena on Fri., March 21 at 7:00 p.m.
