Loyola Marymount University’s (LMU) men’s rugby team is navigating a more challenging competitive landscape this season after previously competing in Division II. The team is now participating in the Division I AA conference, according to reporting in The La Loyolan.
Last season, LMU Men’s Rugby fell short of a championship title in Division II. The move to Division I AA signifies a deliberate effort to elevate the program’s profile and test its capabilities against stronger opponents. The university’s club sports program, as outlined on its website, aims to foster character development and prepare students for future success through athletic competition.
LMU’s rugby club, as well known as Loyola Rugby at LMU, has stated its determination to achieve national recognition within the sport. The club’s stated goals include improving players’ skills, contributing to the community, and promoting rugby itself. Information regarding upcoming fixtures and past results can be found on the Xplorer Rugby website dedicated to the team.
