Rick Theuninck is in his 4th season as head coach of Mankato Loyola. When he & assistants Jennie Noreen & Jay Douglas took over the program they were coming off an 0-25 season. Last season the squad took 4th at State!
Lindsey Theuninck, Rae Ann Dose(SO), & Megan Schroeder all return from last year’s squad and bring enough experience that it is realistic to have an opportunity to return to State this season. Both Theuninck(SO) & Schroeder (SR) are quality scorers who are both approaching the 1000 pt mark.
Regular season games that are on the Crusader radar aside from the normal grind of the Valley Conference include matchups with quality teams from Blooming Prairie & Minneota. Games like these should help prepare for section time. There are also many quality section 2A teams that Loyola will have to potentially top to return to State. Some of those could be Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity, Sleepy Eye Public, & United South Central.
Basketball is deep in the veins of several young ladies now playing at Loyola. They love to play the game and being together on the court succeeding. This will be a program to watch for the next several seasons with their quality sophomores & culture continuing to get stronger.
