Johnston on Afable: "I'm really excited to welcome Sofia to the Rambler family. From the first time I met her, I knew she'd be a great fit for our program. She has the playing experience to make an immediate impact in our lineup, and the competitive drive and work ethic that will help her continue to grow as a player while she's here. After talking with former coaches, it's clear Sofia is a natural leader, a good teammate, and a person who will be an incredible representative of not just the golf program, but of Loyola as a whole. I can't wait to welcome Sofia to campus next Fall."
