The Loyola men’s lacrosse team is beginning to find its way, earning four consecutive wins after a loss at Virginia to start the season.
Senior long-stick midfielder and co-captain Ryan McNulty thinks the No. 11 Greyhounds are ready for a strong season after last year’s NCAA Tournament quarterfinal exit, when they lost, 21-14, to top-seeded Penn State.
“We definitely weren’t the team we are now against Virginia,” McNulty said on Glenn Clark Radio March 2, adding, “we’ve just got great characters in the locker room and that just builds on the culture.”
The Greyhounds are also learning to win without Pat Spencer, the 2019 Tewaaraton Award winner and the most decorated student-athlete in Loyola history. Spencer is currently playing hoops for Northwestern as a grad transfer.
“Obviously losing Pat is tough, but it makes us work more as a team together and I think that’s been very beneficial for us so far,” McNulty said.
