Reliable scoring guard who gave Loyola a steady backcourt boost
Jessica Cerda was a dependable **two-way guard** for Loyola Chicago, finishing her lone Rambler season in 2017-18 at **10.1 points per game** and ranking second on the team in scoring; she also chipped in **2.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.8 steals** per game. [1][8] Loyola’s roster bio shows she **started 23 of 29 games**, which points to a coach-trusted, lineup-stabilizing presence rather than a high-variance spark plug. [8] Her profile suggests a fit for teams that value a steady perimeter creator who can score without needing the offense fully run through her. [2][5]
