Loras College Athletics

Why Loras: “Loras offered all the things I was looking for in a college: a place where I can continue to grow in my faith, a place that offers the Sport Management major, and where I can compete on the soccer field.”

What it means to be a Duhawk: “To be a Duhawk means to always strive to give it everything we have – in all realms of life, not just while we’re competing on the field.”

Favorite memory at Loras: “Being an incoming freshman, my favorite Loras memory has been the past three summers when I have attended the Loras soccer camp. However, I am looking forward to many more memories to come!”
