Sheahin matched a career-high with 28 points as the
Greyhounds went on the road to beat George Washington, 70-62, in the team's only
game last week. It was the first victory in program history over the Colonials
in 13 tries, as well as the first road win of the season for Loyola. Sheahin
paced the Greyhound offense that was playing without leading scorer Miriam
McKenzie, playing 39 minutes at both shooting guard and point guard during the
contest. The junior added a game-high seven assists, four rebounds and three
steals, moving into third place on Loyola's all-time career steals chart with
201. Sheahin shot 8-for-17 from the floor, 8-for-10 from the free throw line
and hit four 3-pointers. The Brookeville, Md., native was 6-of-8 from the
charity stripe in the final five minutes of the contest, helping the Greyhounds
close out the victory and move to 4-5 on the season.
