Bio
Academic Major: Public Health
2020-21 – Sophomore: Saw action in six games, including one start ... Totaled six points vs. La Salle (1/31), making a season-high four free throws out of five attempts ... Grabbed a season best three rebounds against La Salle (1/31) ... Had two assists in the win vs. Davidson (1/8).
2019-20 – Freshman: Became the first UMass freshman since 2014-15 to start every game (31) ... Averaged 5.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks over 27.2 minutes per game ... Shot 46.7% from the floor ... Broke the single-season program record with 76 blocks, more than four different team totals in the Atlantic 10 ... Third in the league and led A-10 freshmen, both with 2.45 blocks per game and 76 total ... Also recorded 10 blocks in a win vs. Holy Cross (12/8), a single-game program best and tied for the most by a Division I freshman this season ... It was the first 10-block performance in the A-10 since 2007 ... Also contributed seven points and 12 rebounds that day to record her first career double-double ... Had 10 points in the A-10 First Round win vs. St. Bonaventure (3/3) and 11 points in the Quarterfinals vs. Saint Louis (3/6).
Coach Verdi on Donnelly: "Maeve is an agile post player who can run the floor. Her length alone will bother opponents as she has the ability to alter shots. Maeve can post up on the block and score with her back to the basket in isolations."
Donnelly on UMass: "I chose UMass because it gave me a gut feeling that reassured me it was the place for me to continue my basketball career as well as my education. Whenever someone asks me what my favorite part about UMass is, I am so overtaken by thinking of all the things I love about it. I am unable to choose just one aspect."
Before UMass: Ranked No. 271 nationally by the Dan Olson Collegiate Girls Basketball Report ... Coached by Chad Freije at Susquehanna Valley as well as Mike Constantine with her club program, BNY Select ... As a junior in 2017-18 she averaged a double-double (11.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg) plus 5.3 blocks per game, capping the year with a New York Section 4 Class B title ... She earned NYSSWA Class B All-State First Team recognition following her junior season ... Boasts finesse game in the paint and a shot-blocking presence.
Personal: Daughter of Tom and Kristen Donnelly ... Has two siblings, Mara and Thomas.
