Marist Catholic's Libby McLaughlin Sets Oregon Records

A record night in Coos Bay

The reported performance underlined why McLaughlin has become one of the state’s most influential high-school players. Her three assists extended an Oregon record she had already broken as a junior, while her two goals added another chapter to a remarkable scoring career.

The reported milestones include:

  • 335 career points, surpassing Harrington’s previous mark of 329.
  • 109 goals and 117 assists across her high-school career.
  • A rise to 10th nationally on the all-time assist list.
  • 31 goals and 19 assists during the current season.

Harrington remains a major figure in Oregon football history after helping Jesuit win three straight 6A titles. McLaughlin’s achievement now places her name alongside that legacy, even if the two players made their impact in different eras and roles.

A forward-thinking striker

The numbers are eye-catching, but coach Stefan Schroffner’s assessment, relayed in the report, focuses on McLaughlin’s adaptability. She is described as a versatile, selfless player capable of operating anywhere on the pitch rather than simply waiting in the penalty area.

That flexibility could be central to her next step. The report also highlights work on her heading, weaker-foot shooting, dribbling with both feet and finishing - areas that can help an elite school player adjust to the greater speed and physical demands of college football.

The next challenge

McLaughlin has not announced a college commitment, the report says, leaving her recruitment as the next major storyline. For now, Marist will look to another influential performance from its senior leader as the season advances.

The records may already be hers, but the remaining fixtures offer McLaughlin a chance to strengthen a legacy that is still being written.
