Loyola University Chicago

Loyola University Chicago (Loyola or LUC) is a private Jesuit research university in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 1870 by the Society of Jesus, Loyola is one of the largest Catholic universities in the United States. Its namesake is Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Loyola's professional schools include programs in medicine, nursing, and health sciences anchored by the Loyola University Medical Center, and the Loyola University Chicago School of Law. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity". Comprising thirteen colleges and schools, Loyola offers more than 80 undergraduate and 140 graduate/professional programs and enrolls approximately 17,000 students. Loyola has six campuses across the Chicago metropolitan area, as well as a campus in Rome. Another guest program in Beijing was closed in 2018. The flagship Lake Shore Campus is on the shores of Lake Michigan in the Rogers Park and Edgewater neighborhoods of Chicago, just over seven miles north of the Loop. Loyola's athletic teams, nicknamed the Ramblers, compete in NCAA Division I as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference. Loyola won the 1963 NCAA men's basketball championship and remains the only school from Illinois to do so. The Ramblers are also two-time (2014, 2015) NCAA champions in men's volleyball.

Jack McFeely is a sophomore at Loyola University Chicago, an NCAA division one institution located in the heart of Chicago, Illinois. The forward from Derry, Northern Ireland is a key component in the Ramblers soccer team, chipping in with more minutes in his 2nd year after 7 games, then he did in his entire 1st season. This is of course normal, as getting playing minutes as a freshman at a top level side is hard to come by, so it's a testament to the level of player Jack is. A former youth international forward, Jack scored the game-tying goal away against NCAA powerhouse Creighton University recently in a 1-1 draw. This season promises to be a big one for the Derry City man, as Chicago slowly becomes his home away from home.
