Loyola Wolf Pack sports have seen a mix of on-court action and off-field developments. Here’s some things you probably missed:

Women’s Basketball
On Oct. 24, Loyola’s women’s team opened their 2025–26 season on the road against No. 11 Langston University, falling 69–64. Just a day later, on Oct. 25, they notched their first win of the season, defeating Haskell Indian Nations University 94–90 in a tightly contested game.

Standout performances included Deniya Thornton, who led with 30 points, seven rebounds, an assist, and a steal, and Alissa O’Dell, who recorded a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Caitlin Travis also played well, grabbing 10 boards and scoring 15, while freshman Tiarra McPipe and SeQuoia Carroll made significant contributions off the bench.

Men’s Basketball
On Oct. 28th, the Loyola men’s team played against the Dillard Blue Devils, falling 54-69. 

Volleyball
Oct. 24, the Wolf Pack volleyball squad swept Tennessee Southern in a 3-set win at home, but fell short in a 2-3 versus Blue Mountain Christian the following day, Oct. 25. 

Athletic Facilities & Development
Loyola announced a major fundraising campaign to renovate its University Sports Complex, with a $1 million donation already received to kick things off.
Planned upgrades include new locker rooms, upgraded athletic training and medicine facilities, expanded weight rooms, and improved coach offices.
This expansion aligns with Loyola’s growth: they currently field over 330 student-athletes in 20 sports, soon to increase to 22 with the addition of men’s and women’s rugby.
