Three key players from the 2025-26 team are returning, the program announced on its social media pages.  Len\u00e9e Beaumont, Zania Socka-Nguemen and Maya Makalusky will all be back for the 2026-27 campaign, the program says. Beaumont started all 32 games this past season and was the team\u2019s second-leading scorer, averaging 13.3 points per game while shooting 43.1 percent from the floor and 37.6 percent from the 3-point line.&nbsp; She added 4.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.&nbsp; Beaumont scored in double figures on 25 occasions and had five 20-plus scoring games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Socka-Nguemen played in 12 games, making 11 starts.&nbsp; She averaged 11.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per game and shot 61.2 percent from the floor, but missed the majority of the season with lower leg injuries.&nbsp; She scored in double figures in 10 of 12 games and had a team-high six double-doubles.  Named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team, Makalusky played in all 32 games and made 22 starts.&nbsp; She averaged 9.7 points while shooting 44.7 percent from the floor and 37.6 percent from the 3-point line.&nbsp; She connected on 64 3-pointers, which was third all-time amongst the program\u2019s freshmen, and her 310 points is ninth all-time in a single season by a freshman.&nbsp; Makalusky scored 14 games in double figures and had five 20-plus point scoring efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indiana will need to add several players via the transfer portal to join the trio.  In total at least eight players are departing from last year\u2019s team.  In previous weeks, Nevaeh Caffey, Edessa Noyan, Chloe Spreen, Phoenix Stotijn, Faith Wiseman and Jade Ondineme have all announced their intent to transfer.&nbsp; Meanwhile, Shay Ciezki and Jerni Kiaku are both out of eligibility.   The Hoosiers also have a highly-rated four-player incoming freshman&nbsp;recruiting class of 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Men&#8217;s Basketball&#8217;s Trent Sisley to Return for his Sophomore Season <\/strong>                                                                                                          Darian DeVries has retained a promising piece for the future.  Per On3, freshman forward Trent Sisley will return to Indiana men\u2019s basketball in 2026-27. The Hoosiers are already losing six players from this past season who exhausted their eligibility, including four of their five starters by season\u2019s end. Sisley was one of three freshmen on the roster, and the only one who saw any notable game action. He and Nick Dorn are the only two IU players with eligibility remaining who averaged more than 10 minutes per game.  Sisley appeared in 30 of the team\u2019s 32 games, averaging 4.2 points and 2.8 rebounds across 13.2 minutes per game. The Santa Claus, Ind. native put up solid efforts in some early-season non-conference games, with 15 points and five rebounds against Marquette, 12 points and five rebounds against Kansas State, and 14 points and nine rebounds against Bethune-Cookman. In late January, he sunk a game-winning free throw in double overtime at UCLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The freshman faded out of the rotation in the second half of the year, but he didn\u2019t take it personally. \u201cI\u2019m just trying to stay ready,\u201d Sisley said&nbsp;in the locker room after IU\u2019s loss to Northwestern in the Big Ten Tournament. \u201cCoach (DeVries) has won a lot of basketball games. I trust him and his plans. At some points I wasn\u2019t playing as much. But I just try to stay ready and be a team-first type of guy.\u201d  DeVries will still have work to do in the transfer portal in April, but retaining Sisley is a good start. With no outbound transfer news announced yet, the Hoosiers would have 10 scholarship players on board for next season. Of course, some of those pieces could enter the portal.  Sisley expressed confidence in DeVries and the program\u2019s future after the season-ending loss.  \u201cI think it\u2019s trending in the right direction,\u201d Sisley said. \u201cI trust coach a lot, and what he has for coming up and stuff like that. I\u2019m just excited for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Four Star Freshman Football Player Kevontay Hugan is no longer listed on the Team&#8217;s Roster <\/strong>                                                                          One of IU football\u2019s top first-year players is no longer listed on the roster.  Just a couple practices into the spring, 4-star freshman edge rusher Kevontay Hugan is not listed on the team\u2019s online roster.  A product of Sarasota, Fla., Hugan originally committed to Louisville before flipping to Indiana last summer.&nbsp; He arrived in Bloomington in January as a midyear enrollee.   Hugan attended Booker H.S. in Sarasota. He was a 4-star according to the average of the national recruiting sites, and the second-highest rated recruit in IU\u2019s 2026 class.  Indiana has good depth at the edge position, meaning Hugan had an uphill battle to see the field as a freshman.  Daniel Ndukwe, Quentin Clark, Keishaun Calhoun, Triston Abram, and Tyrone Burrus, Jr. are all back.&nbsp; And Tobi Osunsanmi (Kansas State) and Joshua Burnham (Notre Dame) have transferred in.&nbsp; Kansas State transfer Chiddi Obiazor is also expected to see snaps on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana&#8217;s Sam Alexis Selected to the 2026 NABC-Reese\u2019s Division I College All-Star Game<\/strong>                                                                                                             Indiana senior forward&nbsp;Sam Alexis&nbsp;was selected to the 2026 NABC-Reese\u2019s Division I College All-Star Game, the National Association of Basketball Coaches announced on Tuesday afternoon.  The event, comprised of top senior talent across NCAA Division I, will take place at 3:30 p.m. ET on Friday, April 3 at Lucas Oil Stadium as part of Reese\u2019s Final Four Friday. The game will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network, and admission to the game and Reese\u2019s Final Four Friday is free.   Alexis will compete on the West All-Star team alongside Corey Camper Jr. (Nevada), Rafael Castro (George Washington), Quadir Copeland (North Carolina State), Dominique Daniels Jr. (Cal Baptist), RJ Godfrey (Clemson), Lajae Jones (Florida State), Jayden Stone (Missouri), Peter Suder (Miami), and Nick Townsend (Yale).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2025 National Champion played in all 32 games for the Hoosiers, which included 23-straight appearances in the starting lineup to close the year. He averaged 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 21.3 minutes per game. Alexis established the program record with a shooting percentage of 68.7% (114-of-166) from the floor. He also produced a career-best mark of 72.5% (50-of-69) from the free throw line.  Alexis led IU with 50 dunks, posted 13 games with 10-plus points, eight games with at least eight rebounds, 18 games with multiple offensive rebounds, and eight games with multiple blocked shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Baseball Falls at Evansville <\/strong>&nbsp;                                                                                                                                                                                 Once again, late inning troubles hurt the Indiana Baseball team (10-18, 3-9 B1G) in a tight loss to Evansville (8-18, 2-1 MVC) on Tuesday evening. The Hoosiers were walked off for a fourth time this season in a 5-4 (F\/11) defeat at Charles H. Braun Stadium. On the year, IU is now 0-7 in one-run ballgames.&nbsp;It looked as though IU may have broken some offensive woes when sophomore first baseman&nbsp;Jake Hanley&nbsp;hit a massive first-inning home run to dead center. His 444-foot blast gave IU an early 2-0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A single from freshman second baseman&nbsp;Landen Fry&nbsp;and an RBI double from freshman pinch hitter&nbsp;Owen ten Oever&nbsp;extended the lead to four in the fourth inning.&nbsp;But from there, IU&#8217;s offense fell completely silent as Evansville worked a mix of pitchers into the game. IU had a golden chance to strike again in the tenth inning but Fry grounded into a double play with the bases loaded and just one out. The Hoosiers left 10 runners on base and finished just 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position. They failed to score again after the fourth inning.&nbsp;IU ran nine pitchers into the game and held Evansville to just five runs across 11 innings. Freshman right-handed pitcher&nbsp;Ivan Mastalski&nbsp;started and worked a pair of scoreless innings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a staff, IU racked up 21 strikeouts, tied for the most in a game (21 \u2013 vs. Xavier; Feb. 15, 2025) in the head coach&nbsp;Jeff Mercer&nbsp;era. Junior right-handed pitcher&nbsp;Jackson Yarberry&nbsp;(L, 0-4) was tagged with the loss despite a strong outing at the end of the game.&nbsp;The Hoosiers will be back in action as Rutgers comes to town this weekend (April 3-5) for a three-game set at Bart Kaufman Field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor Women&#8217;s Basketball&#8217;s Kaycie Warfel Collects Pair of All-American Awards<\/strong>                                                                                                                       Taylor University\u2019s Kaycie Warfel earned a pair of All-American honors following her record-breaking campaign on the hardwood. The freshman guard was named to the NAIA Women\u2019s Basketball All-America Third Team, and the WBCA Coaches\u2019 All-America Honorable Mention Team, as the organizations announced the NAIA award winners for the 2025-26 season.  Warfel is the 19th All-American in TU women\u2019s basketball program history, and the first Trojan to receive the NAIA All-American honor since the 2020-21 season (Lauren James). Recently named the CL Women&#8217;s Basketball Newcomer of the Year, Warfel also garnered First-Team All-Crossroads League and All-Freshman Team honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NAIA All-America selections are made by the NAIA Women&#8217;s Basketball All-America Committee and are comprised of first, second and third teams. Warfel is among a group of 22 players across the nation selected to the NAIA All-America Third Team, and she is one of four players from the Crossroads League lauded by the NAIA. Warfel started 28 games during her debut season as a Trojan, leading the entire NAIA in scoring at 24.3 points per game and in total points with 679, the fourth-highest single-season total in program history. Warfel shot 45.6 percent from the field, 36.7 percent from three-point range and 74.1 percent from the free throw line while adding 3.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and a league-leading 2.8 steals per game. The Pendleton, Indiana native also ranked second nationally in field goals made (242) and 32nd in steals (78) while setting the TU program&#8217;s all-time scoring record for a freshman. She collected six Crossroads League Player of the Week awards \u2014 five offensive and one defensive \u2014 and earned NAIA National Player of the Week honors for the week of November 3\u20139.   Along the way, Warfel reached 30 or more points eight times, headlined by a 40-point outburst at Grace that tied for the second-highest single-game scoring output in TU history. In that game and in a 35-point effort at Mount Vernon Nazarene, Warfel connected on 15 field goals, the second-most in a single game in program history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor Men&#8217;s Lacrosse&#8217;s Jackson<\/strong> <strong>Dale Named as WHAC Offensive Player of the Week<\/strong>                                                                                                                      For the second time this season, Jackson Dale has been named the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Men\u2019s Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Week, as announced by the WHAC league office on Monday. Dale had at least five goals and five assists in each of No. 9 Taylor\u2019s contests on the week, piling up 23 points in the two contests on 11 goals and 12 assists.  In Taylor\u2019s 23-11 win at Siena Heights, Dale posted five goals and seven assists, logging the second-highest single-game totals in TU\u2019s history for points and assists. Dale then followed that performance with six goals and five helpers in a loss to UM-Dearborn.  For the season, Dale boasts 34 goals and 31 assists through Taylor\u2019s first 10 games, ranking third in the NAIA in assists and fifth in total points. The WHAC weekly honor is the second for Dale this season and the fourth for Taylor men\u2019s lacrosse.  In all, Taylor Athletics has now collected 55 weekly honors from the WHAC, Crossroads League and MSFA.  Dale and No. 9 Taylor (6-4, 2-3 WHAC) will return to action on Wednesday, April 1 at 3:00 pm when they host No. 1 Madonna (9-1, 5-0 WHAC) at Wheeler Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana University Women&#8217;s Basketball Announces Three Returning Players for the 2026-27 Season After six departures were announced in recent weeks, IU women\u2019s basketball was able to share some positive news Tuesday evening.
