<\/p>\n FAIRFAX, Va. — <\/strong>Loyola Chicago made history as the Ramblers earned the program’s first-ever Atlantic 10 Regular Season Championship after defeating George Mason, 10-6, in the series closer on Sunday, April 26.

\n“This group has earned this. They’ve put in the work every single day, and when things get hard, they don’t break, they respond. That’s who they’ve been all year: resilient, competitive, and completely committed to each other. They don’t just want to win, they want to win together, and you can feel that in how they play. They answer back. They stay in it. They trust the process and they trust one another. Nothing about this year has been about being perfect. It’s about being good, being steady, and staying present in the moments that matter most. And a lot of respect for George Mason, they brought it all weekend and made us better. But I’m really proud of how we responded. We stayed the course, stayed connected, and we showed who we are: tough, together, and full of belief in each other.”<\/p>\n
\nThe Ramblers took a 1-0 lead in the first inning and never trailed en route to a 10-6 victory over the Patriots. Redshirt junior infielder Liz Sedakis<\/a> doubled to start the scoring and plate sophomore outfielder Averi Vander Woude<\/a>. George Mason leveled the score in the bottom of the first before Loyola exploded for four runs in the third frame, highlighted by a two-run home run off the bat of sophomore shortstop Alli Pawlowicz<\/a> and a two-run single from Sedakis.<\/p>\n
