BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana women's basketball freshman guard Keyarah Berry is leaving the team. 

The team released a statement Wednesday afternoon: 

"Indiana guard Keyarah Berry will no longer be a member of the Indiana women’s basketball program but will continue to pursue her academic studies at the university. The program wishes her the best in her future endeavors."

The Rockmart, Ga. native was Rockmart High's all-time leading scorer and led her high school team to the Class AA final four in the 2019-20 season. She played in three games this season for a total of 5 minutes, and 36 seconds. She did not score any points.

Berry is the second team member to leave this season. Graduate student Caitlin Hose, a Georgia transfer, also made her exit earlier this year to focus on her studies. Indiana's roster now has 11 players.
