History of the Greyhounds

The Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds have a long and proud history of excellence in NCAA sports. From its beginnings as a small college in the late 19th century, they have grown to become one of the most successful teams in Division I athletics. The Greyhounds are especially renowned for their success on the basketball court, where they won two national championships – first in 1963 and then again just five years later – and made three trips to the Final Four during that period.

However, Loyola-Maryland has had its fair share of accomplishments off the court. In addition to winning numerous conference titles over its more than 100 years of existence, it has produced some notable alumni who went on to achieve greatness after graduating from school; this includes NBA Hall-of-Famer Isiah Thomas (the class year 1984) and current NFL-wide receiver Torrey Smith (the class year 2012). Additionally, many former players from both men’s and women’s programs at Loyola Maryland have gone on to play professionally overseas or domestically here stateside with various minor league teams throughout America's professional sports leagues such as Major League Baseball or National Football League franchises like Baltimore Ravens, etc.

But no matter what sport you follow at Loyola University Maryland, there is always something special about being part of such an esteemed program with so much tradition!
