SAN ANTONIO (Sept. 25, 2016) -- The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) men's basketball team visited the annual College Bound Pep Rally at Gilbert Elementary School last week.

The Saints provided encouragement and information about attending college for the youngsters from the Harlandale School District on the southside of San Antonio. They took part in a question and answer session about college life as well as fun activities for the students to promote college awareness.

The Saints, who made it to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Elite 8 Round last season, will begin their schedule on Nov. 5 with a game at Rice University in Houston. Their first home game will take place on Nov. 14 against the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma at 6 p.m.

The community will get a chance to meet the Saints during their Second Annual Hoops Madness scheduled for Oct. 12 from 7-10 p.m. in Mabee Gymnasium.
