About the Program

Founded in 1976, Loyola Rugby has grown into a nationally competitive program, earning All-America rankings and producing distinguished alumni including Fulbright Scholars. The SLOB scholarship program ensures talented student-athletes have the opportunity to continue their academic and rugby careers at Loyola.

The program has made consecutive national championship appearances. Players train on Lugano Pitch — a regulation rugby field with permanent markings, lighting, and a weather-controlled dome open November through March.

The pitch is named after Sean Lugano, a 1995 collegiate All-American who died in the 2001 terrorist attacks.
