NEW ORLEANS  – For the third season in a row, the Loyola Wolf Pack's home floor, The Den, was the site of the qualifying competition for the NAIA Competitive Dance National Championship. Loyola welcomed three other NAIA teams to The Den on Monday for the 2025 Qualifier: Hope International (Calif.), Ave Maria (Fla.), and Our Lady of the Lake (Texas). 
 

Our Lady of the Lake won the competition to earn an automatic bid to the NAIA Competitive Dance National Championship later this month. Hope International placed second, Loyola was third and Ave Maria took fourth. 
 

After the preliminary round Monday, Loyola was in fourth place with a score of 62.77. Our Lady of the Lake led after the preliminary round with the highest score of the day, 71.90. Hope International was second with a score of 67.80, while Ave Maria was in third with 66.80. 
 

The preliminary round scores accounted for a quarter of the total overall score. 
 

The Wolf Pack's dance team was by far the most improved in the final round, jumping up nearly seven points to a score of 69.30. OLLU's final score was close to its preliminary score, 71.50, allowing for the Saints to win the qualifier with an overall score of 71.80. 
 

Hope International finished second with an overall score of 67.85, followed by the Wolf Pack in third at 67.67. Ave Maria had a fourth-place finish with a total score of 66.85.
