5'11" Guard Transfers to Delaware After Limited Loyola Role
Daniella Matus, a 5'11" freshman guard from Fairfield, NJ, is now playing for the University of Delaware after transferring from Loyola Chicago, where she appeared in 19 games in the 2025-26 season averaging 1.1 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 5.2 minutes per game with a 15.6% field goal percentage[3][5][6]. Her differentiator is her rare height for a guard combined with high-intensity defensive potential, evidenced by 4 steals in 99 minutes and a 28-0 perfect senior season at Morris Catholic where she averaged 12.4 PPG[5][8]. While her college shooting efficiency was low, her pre-college dominance and steal rate suggest she's a high-upside project for teams needing a tall, active defender who can grow into a scoring role, making her a fit for programs valuing developmental upside over immediate production[5][8].
