DePaul transfer joins Buffs
BOULDER – Colorado women's basketball inked its fourth transfer commit for the 2025-26 season on Friday, announcing the signing of guard Maeve McErlane.
McErlane comes to Boulder after spending the last three seasons at DePaul. She did not play in 2024-25 due to injury.
"I'm thrilled to have Maeve joining our Buff Family this year," head coach JR Payne exclaimed. "She is a fierce competitor and can play multiple guard positions. She is as tough as they come, and I believe Maeve will have a big impact, not only in basketball, but in our greater Colorado community as a whole."
McErlane started 25 and played 31 games for the Blue Demons as a sophomore in 2023-24. She averaged 4.6 points, 2.9 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game. McErlane recorded a career-high 26 points against Alabama State and twice handed out a career-high nine assists.
The 5-10 guard scored in double-figures on four occasions and handed out five or more assists in five games.
As a freshman, McErlane appeared in 13 games, made one start, and was a Big East All-Academic Team selection. She's totaled 157 points in 44 career contests.
McErlane, a native of Philadelphia, Pa., was a four-year letterwinner at the Academy of Notre Dame de Namur. She was a three-time All-Delaware County First Team selection and a two-time Ms. Pennsylvania Basketball nominee. McErlane averaged 17.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game on her way to being a McDonald's All-American nominee in 2022.
McErlane will have two years of eligibility remaining and joins a class of recently announced transfers Claire O'Connor (Gonzaga), Zyanna Walker (Kansas State) and Desiree Wooten (North Texas).
