Vanderveer just completed her 38th season as head coach at Stanford, as she led the Cardinal to the Sweet 16 for the 29th time before falling to NC State. In January, she\u00a0set the record for most wins by a college basketball coach, in either the men\u2019s or women\u2019s game. She finished her career with an astounding 1,216-271 record, along with national championships in 1990, 1992, and 2021.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA true pioneer and champion of the sport, Tara has been an inspiration to many she has had the chance to impact in her illustrious career,\u201d IU Head Coach Teri Moren said\u00a0through IU\u2019s social media accounts. \u201cThe game of women\u2019s basketball is in a better place because of her dedication and passion to the development of the game over her 45-year career. Hoosier Nation wishes her the best in her next chapter.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vanderveer played for IU from 1972 through 1975, and she helped those teams go a combined 48-13 and reach an AIAW tournament Final Four in 1973.  She took Bob Knight\u2019s coaching class as a student, and sat in on some of his practices, which both taught her a lot. Vanderveer was inducted into the IU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1995, and she was awarded a Bicentennial Medal in 2021. She\u2019s seen IU women\u2019s basketball\u2019s rise from afar over the last several years, and it\u2019s filled her with pride. \u201cI\u2019m a definite, proud alum. Indiana has always had this love affair with basketball and now it\u2019s with women\u2019s basketball, too, and that\u2019s very exciting,\u201d Vanderveer told&nbsp;<em>The Daily Hoosier<\/em>&nbsp;in an email in November. \u201cThe numbers of fans they have, the great teams they have. It\u2019s absolutely fantastic and really fun to be riding this wave of support and enthusiasm for women\u2019s basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cardinal hosted IU at Maples Pavilion in November, and they handed the Hoosiers a lopsided early-season defeat. Indiana is set to host Stanford in the return leg of the home-and-home series next season \u2014 that game would\u2019ve been Vanderveer\u2019s first game back at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall since she coached Ohio State in the 1980s. That matchup allowed Vanderveer to reminisce on her days in Bloomington and express pride and admiration for her alma mater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c(Playing this game) does bring back a lot of memories of being there, when you\u2019re thinking about facing them and seeing the candy cane warmups. I mean, it\u2019s Indiana,\u201d Vanderveer said. \u201cI have great memories of being there and it\u2019s just a fantastic job that Teri Moren has done. They have 17,000 fans coming to games. It\u2019s very exciting the enthusiasm that is there for women\u2019s basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mackenize Holmes to Undergo Knee Surgery and miss the 2024 WNBA Season      <\/strong>                                                                                                                                                                       <br>Indiana University Women\u2019s Basketball star Mackenzie Holmes is undergoing knee surgery,\u00a0she announced in a statement on social media on Wednesday. Holmes declared for the upcoming WNBA Draft but shared that her surgery will keep her out for the entire 2024 season. \u201cTo ensure my body is healthy and my playing career is as long and successful as possible, I have decided to get the necessary surgery in May to prevent further issues and alleviate the pain it has caused,\u201d Holmes said in the statement. \u201cI have declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft and pray that a team honors me with a selection knowing I will be ready for the start of the 2025 Training Camp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmes battled issues with her left knee dating back to her freshman year of high school in Gorham, Maine. Those knee problems flared up and impacted her at the end of her last three seasons in Bloomington. She missed eight games in 2022 after a minor midseason knee procedure, and she never got back to full capacity after returning to action. In 2023, the issues resurfaced during the Big Ten Tournament, and Holmes was affected by it in the NCAA Tournament. This year, Holmes banged knees with a Maryland player during IU\u2019s regular-season finale, and it kept her sidelined for most of the next game against Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy major focus at these times was to get back on the court as quickly as possible to be with my teammates and help our team succeed,\u201d Holmes said in the statement. \u201cWhile the entire medical staff at IU was wonderful in doing everything to rehabilitate and prevent the injury, all while getting me back on the court safely, I never took the steps to correct the problem and the damage it caused.\u201d  The forward wrapped up her illustrious Hoosiers career this season and left\u00a0a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailyhoosier.com\/entering-her-final-season-mackenzie-holmes-is-looking-to-cement-her-iu-womens-basketball-legacy\/\"> <\/a>lasting legacy. She became the program\u2019s all-time leading scorer in February, at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall against Purdue. She\u2019s also IU\u2019s winningest player, its only two-time All-American, and its lone first-team All-American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana University Men&#8217;s Soccer Announces the Addition of Two Transfers for the 2024 Season <\/strong> \u00a0                                                                                        Indiana Men\u2019s Soccer Head Coach Todd Yeagley announced Wednesday the addition of two transfer student-athletes to the 2024 roster. Virginia Goalkeeper Holden Brown and Tulsa Midfielder Luke Jeffus will move to Bloomington when preseason kicks off in August. Both athletes join the program as graduate transfers, with Brown retaining two years of eligibility.  Indiana has brought in four newcomers via the transfer portal this offseason. Yeagley announced in January the additions of Louisville defender Quinton Elliot and Northwestern forward Justin Weiss, meaning IU has added a player with collegiate experience in each position group. Yeagley also announced a nine-man freshman signing class in February, featuring three forwards, three midfielders and three defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holden Brown | Goalkeeper | 6-4 | Zionsville, Ind. | Virginia- Native Hoosier Holden Brown will return to his roots after four years with blue blood program Virginia, where he was the first-choice goalkeeper since his sophomore year. Brown started 44 matches over the last three seasons, recording 13 clean sheets and a .748 save percentage. His 163 career saves ranks tied for No. 6 in the Virginia record books. \u201cHolden is a wonderful addition to our program,\u201d Yeagley said. \u201cHe is a proven starter with great size and athletic tools.\u201d  Brown earned both third-team All-ACC and All-ACC Tournament Team honors as a junior in 2022, earning eight clean sheets and 1.03 goals against average that season. He was named a team captain prior to the 2023 campaign and started eight games but missed the last half due to injury.  \u201cHolden will also add value to our locker room with his natural leadership skills and engaging personality,\u201d Yeagley added. \u201cHe has the unique ability to light up a room and help his teammates play at a high level. We are excited to have Holden join our program for the next two years as he pursues his master\u2019s degree in our media school.\u201d  Holden\u2019s eldest brother, Brock Brown, was a four-year swimming student athlete at Indiana. His twin sister, Ainsley, and elder brother, Forrest, also attended IU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luke Jeffus | Midfielder | 5-11 | Sand Springs, Okla. | Tulsa- Luke Jeffus was a fixture in the Tulsa midfield all four years, helping the Golden Hurricanes reach the NCAA Tournament twice.  \u201cLuke is a perfect fit for IU,\u201d Yeagley said. \u201cHe has the winning mentality and character qualities we look for in our central midfielders. Jeffus appeared in 62 matches with 55 starts at Tulsa, including four tournament games, and totaled three goals and five assists. As a senior, he led the Golden Hurricanes in minutes played.  \u201cHe has played an important role at Tulsa and brings a lot of experience to our program.&nbsp;His versatility, IQ and technical ability are all important qualities he adds to our midfield.&nbsp;We are excited to have Luke join IU and pursue his master\u2019s degree through the Kelley School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Indiana-Purdue Softball Game Rescheduled for a Third Time due to Weather <\/strong>                                                                                                                                        <br>Indiana Softball\u2019s doubleheader versus Purdue has been rescheduled for Wednesday, April 17 at Andy Mohr Field.
