Loyola vs. Hedgehogs - Feb 4th

On Wednesday, the Loyola Chess Team as usual traveled downtown, this time to play The Hedgehogs. The Hedgehogs are having a great season so far with a 4-1-1 record. Our last match against the Hedgehogs was the first match of the season and ended in a draw. However, the Hedgehogs were without their top player - Michael Rauchman. Making this match one of the toughest matches of the season.
