In Loyola Chicago’s first game of the 2025-26 season, which also happened to be their first game since their beloved chaplain Sister Jean died, something miraculous happened.
As time was expiring in the Monday night game vs. Cleveland State, the two teams were tied at 88 each with 2.6 seconds to go. An inbounded pass went to Deywilk Tavarez, who made a three-pointer at the buzzer. The Ramblers won the contest at home, sparking excitement in the program that has been cast with a dark cloud since Sister Jean died on Oct. 10 at the age of 106.
