CHICAGO (December 5, 2019) – Bruno Skokna, a senior guard on the Loyola University Chicago men's basketball team, is featured in this week's Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Spotlight.
 
This season, the 6-foot-4 guard is contributing 1.6 points and 1.0 rebounds per game in a reserve role for the 5-4 Ramblers, who are back in action Saturday when they host Quincy. With the Zagreb, Croatia native on the roster, the Ramblers have racked up 75 wins in the past three-plus seasons, winning back-to-back MVC regular-season titles and earning consecutive postseason berths.
 
In the classroom, Skokna is an exceptional student and last year was a MVC Scholar-Athlete Team Honorable Mention selection. In 2017-18, he was the recipient of the MVC's Elite 18 award for having the highest grade-point average among student-athletes in the conference tournament championship.
 
In addition to his academic and athletics accomplishments, Skokna has been active in the Loyola community, volunteering at Misericordia Heart of Mercy.
 
To qualify for the MVC Scholar-Athlete Spotlight, student-athletes must carry a cumulative GPA of 3.20, completed at least one academic year at a Valley institution and must be at least a sophomore in academic standing. In addition to academic qualifications, student-athletes are evaluated on their campus involvement and community service.
