Road to a Championship: Dylon Cormier

Two men will lead Loyola Mens Basketball to a championship in the MAAC.

Dylon Cormier and Jamal Barney. Together, the hope of a MAAC Conference Championship and a NCAA run are present and alive.

First off, Dylon Cormier, Freshman Guard, has done a great job so far for the Greyhounds as the starting Point Guard. In his outings, Cormier has had a great command for the game, dictating plays well and controlling the atmosphere on the court. In many ways, Cormier works the ball as if a younger Derek Fischer or Steve Nash were present. When he played at now-defunct Cardinal Gibbons High school, he was chosen two times for the All-Baltimore selection. As he takes command as the starting point guard, Cormier will be looked at by opposing teams as a force to be reckoned with.

Wacky Wednesday: McFadden Art Glass

It’s not everyday you get to make your own glass object. But here in Baltimore, it could be every Saturday. Every Saturday between 3 and 6 PM, McFadden Art Glass, a custom glassblowing studio, offers beginner glassblowing workshops where you get to have hands-on involvement in making your own glass creation.

Tourism Tuesday: The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra

If you’re ready to get into the holiday spirit, you won’t want to miss the festive programming from Baltimore Symphony Orchestra this December.

7 Minute Sports: Jim Paquette Part 3

In this week’s edition of the 7 Minute Sports Slam, I bring to you the last segment in the Jim Paquette Interview series.

In this segment, Jim and I talked about the expectations of the Basketball Team, a team that this year shows promise in making it far in the MAAC Championship, and the overall expectations of each respective sport.

In the interview, I try to determine why certain support for specific sports fall the way that they do. Jim does a great job of opening up the Athletic Program to students and allowing for students to get a better understand of things under the hood of our program.

Museum Monday: The Baltimore Museum of Industry

Do you know what city had the first traffic light? The oldest gas company in America? How about the world’s largest copper refinery? I bet you do. Baltimore! And at the Baltimore Museum of Industry you’ll get the opportunity to see just how proud Baltimore is of its reputation as a “working man’s town.”

Right now, you can “Relive the Industrial Revolution,” putting yourself in the time period and interacting with the industries that propelled Baltimore forward. From printing to garment-making, metalworking to umbrella-manufacturing, you’re sure to be surprised at some of the things Baltimore began. Not to mention many of the transportation artifacts that have been preserved and made their way into history.

Miss WLOY?

Yeah, yeah, yeah - I would miss us, too. But never fear! WLOY will be returning to its normal hours of operation on Monday. In the mean time, why don't…

Season Preview: Loyola Mens Basketball

It’s that time of the year again. Soccer comes to an end and the next great sport here at Loyola takes the helm of the Athletic Program’s ship. Of course, I am talking about Loyola Basketball. Every year, fans get excited for the home games as the Marching Flock get prepared to warm fans’ hearts and inspire true Athletic Spirit. Every year, fans stand behind the Men’s team just to see hopes of a MAAC championship slip out of our grasp. Then it’s April and it’s time to gear up for Lacrosse, the sport that matters.
