BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana’s women’s basketball team takes to the hardwood for the first time on Monday as the Hoosiers take on Brown at 7 p.m. on Monday.

Indiana comes off of a definitive 95-27 victory over Division II Maryville in its lone public exhibition game last Wednesday. Four Hoosiers were in double figures led by Yarden Garzon’s 20-point effort. Lilly Meister (19 points), Shay Ciezki (14 points) and Sydney Parrish (12 points, 13 rebounds) joined Garzon in double-figures. Julianna LaMendola had 10 rebounds.

Parrish injured her ankle in the exhibition, but Indiana coach Teri Moren did not believe it was a serious injury.

Brown is coming off its best season since 2006. The Bears (16-11) finished .500 in the Ivy League for the first time since 2017.

The Bears did lose leading scorer Kyla Jones (17.1 ppg) to Northwestern. However, Brown’s other four starters – guards Grace Arnolie (14.4 ppg), Isabella Mauricio (8.7 ppg) and forwards Ada Anamekwe (7.1 ppg) and Alyssa Moreland (5.7 ppg) all return. So does occasional starter Olivia Young (5.9 ppg).
