Olivia Shaughnessy brings defense, pace, and late-game poise to Loyola Maryland
In the 2025-26 season, freshman guard Olivia Shaughnessy has been a steady rotation piece for Loyola Maryland, averaging 3.3 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 28 games while shooting 74.3% at the line and showing useful floor balance as a guard[1][11]. Loyola’s staff has described her as a “tenacious defender” and “outstanding playmaker” with an “unmatched motor,” and that shows up in her ability to energize possessions, make quick decisions, and contribute in winning moments like her game-winning layup against Colgate in January 2026[6][8].
