A Farewell to Rivera
Friday, September 27th, 2013 by WLOY Staff
There are some moments in the world of sports that make us remember why we love them so much. Whether it’s Ripken breaking the record in Camden Yards in 1995 or just a parent sharing the love of a sport with their kids, we tend to fall in love with sports over and over again. Last night in the Bronx was certainly one of those moments that made us fall in love with the world of sports again. (more…)

WLOY likes to bring the finest in Sports Entertainment.
Per week, the scientist in our sports laboratories will attempt to combine and condense all of the sports “stuff” out there. They will then help present it in a very beautiful and eccentric audio clip. Now, you probably noticed that I tried to make a science type of pun. I gave it half way through because I felt presenting this clip to you was much more important so please, enjoy!

What if? Baltimore Ravens visit Pittsburg for Rest and Struggle?
Saturday, November 17th, 2012 by WLOY Staff
This week’s matchup between Baltimore and Pittsburg will decide the fate of both teams. Their seasons are at stake.
The Pittsburg Steelers are currently in a situation in which their season is coming close to an end. Their starting quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, is injured and the team is unsure if this injury is season ending or just season crippling.
The Ravens are coping with their loss in Ray Lewis by allowing Ray Rice, their star running back, to do what he does best: Run the football.
But what does that mean necessarily for the Ravens or the Steelers?
Essentially, without this win, the Steelers will be forced to reevaluate their season because this game will be a way to keep them afloat. In doesn’t secure them but it just buys them time.
The Ravens on the other hand, with this win, will be able keep a sturdy grip on the division and put a chokehold on the division forcing the Cincinnati Bengals to play even more catch up behind Pittsburg and Baltimore. Pittsburg has a very old and ailing team to date and would probably slip past Bengals but the Bengals themselves would need to overpower not the defense of the Ravens but their offense.
The AFC North is taking center stage this Sunday and by the end of the night, the AFC North may have its winner.

Sports Saturdays: Loyola Men’s Soccer takes on James Madison
Saturday, September 22nd, 2012 by WLOY Staff
It is Saturday night. The Laundry is done. You have saved the universe and taken back Earth with your Commander Shepard on your game console. What is there to do now?
Well, maybe watch James Madison and Loyola play soccer together?
It would be really weird if the Greyhounds were going after the fourth president of the United States, James Madison. However, the Men’s soccer team will be facing the James Madison Dukes this Saturday at 7pm. This match up that will take place at Ridley Athletic Complex will be one for the ages.
In their first away game, the Dukes will be coming into the match up with a 3-2-1 record. James Madison is hoping that record will mean something as Loyola currently holds the upper ground with a 6-1-1 overall records against the Dukes.

Making their first final round NCAA Men’s Lacrosse appearance since 1990, when current Coach Charley Toomey was the Hounds goalie, against the University of Maryland, Loyola set a number of NCAA records. After going down 3-2 early in the game, Loyola turned the tide shutting out Maryland for more than 40 minutes and scoring 7 unanswered goals. In the process, Eric Lusby broke the NCAA post-season record netting his 17th goal in the decisive crushing of the Terps, and set a school season record with 54 goals. Loyola, who started the season unranked, also tied the record for most wins in a season (18) with Duke, and is the smallest school to ever win the NCAA Division 1 title. If not for a pesky overtime goal by Johns Hopkins, Loyola would have finished the season undefeated and with the record of 19 wins. We’ll work on that for next year.

7 Minute Sports: Ravens Haruki Nakamura
Monday, February 21st, 2011 by WLOY Staff
When you think of NFL Greatness, what team comes to mind? The Ravens seem to, every year, rise to the top of the AFC North. Along with the Steelers, both teams always find themselves fighting their way into the AFC Conference Championship or at least try to fight their way into the championship. This year, things did not go completely in the Ravens favor. They fell to the Steelers in the Divisional round after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the Ravens had a great season overall. They played extremely well and their defense was absolutely the best it had been in years. They did have problems that cost them near the end of the season that ended up costing them a chance to get to the Superbowl. However, when evaluating a team, it is good to keep notes on the positive and not just the negative. One player ended up being a surprise to many Ravens fans.
