Loyola University Maryland head coach Joe Logan announced on Monday the hiring of Maya Wynn as an assistant coach for the women’s basketball program.
Wynn joins the Greyhounds after spending the past year and a half as an assistant at Albright College, a Division III school in Reading, Pennsylvania. While there, she helped the Lions improve their win total by 10 games during the 2019-20 season, as they finished the year 22-6 and earned an at-large spot in the NCAA DIII tournament.
“We are ecstatic to welcome Maya Wynn to our Loyola women’s basketball family,” Logan said. “I have known Maya and her family for many years, and it has been a pleasure to follow her career and now have her return to Baltimore and become a role model for our players. Maya is a fierce competitor and a winner, and we look forward to having her help our players develop their craft on and off the court.”
At Albright, Wynn was responsible for recruiting, player development, film breakdown and generating scouting reports. She coached Albright’s third-ever WBCA All-American in Dejah Terrell, as well as 2020 MAC Commonwealth Defensive Player of the Year Gabby Boggs. The Lions, who began last season 15-0, were ranked as high as No. 10 in the WBCA DIII Top 25 national poll.
A Reisterstown native, Wynn is a 2018 graduate of Saint Francis University. She was a four-year starter for the Red Flash, contributing to a squad which won 24 games and advanced to the NCAA Tournament as Northeast Conference champions during her senior season. Wynn ranks fifth all-time at SFU in 3-pointers made (196), and was tied for third in the conference with 66 made 3’s as a sophomore. She totaled 927 points and 167 steals at the collegiate level, earning a spot on the NEC All-Rookie Team in 2015.
“I am excited to return home to Baltimore to join the Loyola family,” Wynn said. “I’m thankful to Coach Logan for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this amazing staff. I hope to use my knowledge and experience to develop a championship-winning culture on campus.”
As an undergrad, Wynn participated in both the Flash Focus Leadership Program and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. She remained at Saint Francis for one year after graduation, serving as a graduate assistant in the athletic department.
Wynn was a three-sport athlete in high school at McDonogh, lettering in basketball, volleyball and track & field. She was a two-year team captain for the basketball team, leading the squad to a pair of IAAM A-Conference championships.
An honor roll student, Wynn graduated from Saint Francis with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. She is working towards a master’s degree in education at Albright.
