Loveys played for the Saxons for three years as she spent her junior season enrolled in a special program at Alfred State College, therefore making her ineligible for NCAA competition during that season. During her time on the Alfred University women's soccer team, competing during the 1981, 1982 and 1984 seasons, there weren't many records that she did not hold upon graduating with a bachelor of arts in biology in the Spring '85 semester.
 
Loveys still holds the career points record with 75 points and had the No. 1 and No. 2 spots when she graduated with most the most points in a single season, scoring 26 in both 1982 (10 goals, six assists) and 1984 (12 goals, two assists). She held the career goals and season goals marks upon graduating with 30 goals and 12 goals in 1984. She is also in a three-way tie for the school record for most goals in a game with four, scoring those at Keuka College on September 29, 1982, being the first player in school history to do so. Loveys finished her storied career as the No. 2 all-time assists leader, totaling 15 in her three season. She was one of the co-captains in her senior season.
 
Upon graduating, Loveys went on to earn her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and was later selected to serve two post-doctoral fellowships in pediatric hematology and pediatric respiratory viral diseases at Johns Hopkins University and the Food & Drug Administration. She continued to work and contribute significantly to public health and bioterrorism preparedness. Most recently, Dr. Loveys oversaw the management of federal funds allocated to the support of critical research initiatives and responses for the COVID-19 global pandemic.
