CHICAGO – Loyola Chicago women's basketball opens exhibition play on Tuesday, Oct. 27 against Lewis. The Ramblers and Flyers tipoff at 6:30 p.m. inside Gentile Arena in Loyola's sole exhibition game of the season. 

Quick Hits

• Last season, the Ramblers went 16-18 overall and 9-9 in Atlantic 10 play, finishing tied for eighth in the league. 
• Loyola's 2025-26 season culminated in an WNIT run, where the Ramblers fell to A10 foe George Washington in the Super 16. 
• Junior forward Brooklyn Vaughn is one of four Ramblers retained from last year's roster. Last season, she averaged 25.9 minutes per game and led Loyola in rebounding, totaling 182, and in shooting percentage (.455). 
• First-year head coach Morgan Paige enters her inaugural season at the helm of the program, bringing the Ramblers into a new era. Paige is the 12th head coach in program history following a five-year stint at Kansas University as the associate head coach. 
• Loyola's 2026-27 roster is split 50/50 between its domestic and international student-athletes. The Ramblers are spread across three continents, hailing from Australia, Europe (France, Greece and Spain) and North America, and four U.S. states (California, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin). 
• Loyola returned four Ramblers from last season (Audrey Deptula, Kendall Hendrix, Rosalie Mercille, and Vaughn), added seven transfers (Vasiliki Cholopoulou, Hailey Johnson, Mireia Jurado, Angela Le Faou, MD Ntambue, Jasmine Perry, Gabby Wilke) and one true freshman (Gemma Wichmann).
• This year's schedule features a tough nonconference slate, starting off early at Green Bay (Nov. 7) before facing Iowa State (Dec. 6) – where Paige started her coaching career as a graduate assistant – then playing host to Colorado State (Dec. 23) in the Ramblers' final noncon contest.
