Bella McLaughlin is Boston U’s steady, high-minute lead guard with a knack for late-game punch
In the 2025-26 season, Bella McLaughlin has been Boston University’s engine at guard, averaging 8.0 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in 25.9 minutes while starting 18 of 29 games; she’s also shown scoring upside with a career-high 22 points in a February 2026 overtime win and 17 points in BU’s regular-season finale. Her value goes beyond the box score: she’s a captain-level tone-setter with strong ball security, defensive activity, and the kind of poise coaches love in a tough road guard. If a team needs a reliable organizer who competes every possession, she fits beautifully.
