Charley ToomeyECAC Coach of the Year

On the heels of winning its first NCAA Division I National Championship, the Loyola University Maryland athletic department finished tied for 10th in the Men’s Capital One Cup, and 44th in the women’s standings, for the 2011-2012 academic year.

The Greyhounds totaled 60 points to finish tied with North Dakota State on the men’s side. Loyola and the Bison, who won the 2011 NCAA Football Championship Series title, were the highest finishers by schools not affiliated with BCS conferences. There were no other BCS schools amongst the top 20 in either the men’s or women’s rankings.

With an undergraduate enrollment of just over 3,800 students, Loyola is the smallest school to finish in the top 10 on either the men’s or women’s side in the Cup’s history.

Bolstered by the women’s lacrosse team’s NCAA Quarterfinal appearance, Loyola scored 12 points and tied for 44th on the women’s side.

Greyhounds Fans,

Loyola University Maryland athletics experienced a year of unprecedented accomplishments, on the courts and fields, in the pool, the classrooms and the community, and it would not have been possible without your generous support. We are tremendously proud of our student-athletes’ accomplishments, big and small, and we would like to share many of them with you in this year-in-review.

Our men’s basketball team generated a groundswell of fan support and emotion during its run to the best season in school Division I history, culminating with Loyola’s first bid to the NCAA Tournament since 1994. During that drive to the Metro Atlantic Atheltic Conference title, we experienced our first back-to-back sellouts of Reitz Arena since the building opened in 1984, another nod to the backing you and your fellow fans provided.

The Greyhound women’s lacrosse team won the BIG EAST Conference Championship for the second year in a row and advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the second-consecutive season. And, the men’s golf team continued its stellar play at the MAAC Championships by winning its fifth title in as many years.

Loyola’s 2011-2012 was capped by a truly unprecedented feat as the men’s lacrosse team won the school’s first NCAA Division I Championship, becoming just the ninth school in NCAA history, and the smallest at that, to win the crown. During the run, our fans poured out in droves, supporting the first sellout of Ridley Athletic Complex and bringing energetic and boisterous crowds to the NCAA Quarterfinals and Championship Weekend.

In the classroom, our student-athletes achieved exceptional heights, as well. Sixty-percent of them earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher, and we demonstrated the good works of our Greyhounds with thousands of hours of community service.

We look forward to many new triumphs in 2012-2013 and the years to come, undertakings that are achievable through your encouragement.

Go ‘Hounds!
