The Loyola women’s basketball team has some big shoes to fill after junior forward Abby O’Connor announced on Twitter she’s transferring to Gonzaga University at the end of the semester.
O’Connor was one of Loyola head coach Kate Achter’s first recruits in 2017 and made an instant impact on the court. In her three years at Loyola, O’Connor averaged 12.5 points per game and seven rebounds per game. This year, she led the Ramblers with 12.3 points and 8 rebounds per game.
She was named All-Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) honorable mention this season after receiving All-MVC first team and MVC All-Defense Team honors a year ago.
