After playing collegiate basketball at Notre Dame, she was chosen first overall by the Seattle Storm in the 2015 WNBA Draft.
Due to Sue Bird, the Storm team’s seasoned point guard, playing at the point guard position, Loyd was forced to transfer to the shooting guard position.

But when Bird opted not to participate in the last seven regular-season games, Loyd stepped up and took over as the starting point guard.

She participated in 34 games, making 23 starts, and after averaging 10.7 points per contest, she was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year.
With an average of 16.5 points per game and selection to the All-WNBA Second Team in her second season, Loyd emerged as an important player for the Storm.
The Storm returned to the playoffs after a three-year absence thanks in large part to her career-high 32-point performance against the Phoenix Mercury.
Loyd scored 24 points in the first-round elimination game, but the Storm fell to the Atlanta Dream.
