Penn State transfer Shay Ciezki commits to Indiana women’s basketball
Penn State transfer guard Shay Ciezki announced her commitment to Indiana women’s basketball today.
A 5-foot-7 guard from Buffalo, New York, Ciezki averaged 11.5 points, 2.4 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 25.1 minutes per game for the Lady Lions.
Ciezki, an All-Big Ten honorable mention selection last season, has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
She is a career 38.9 percent 3-pointer shooter and went 138-for-355 from distance over 65 games for Penn State.
Ciezki scored a career-high 40 points last season in a 101-73 win against Central Connecticut on Dec. 20.
As a freshman during the 2022-23 season, Ciezki ranked third in 3-pointers made (64) and fourth in 3-point field goal percentage (.416) in Penn State women’s basketball history.
Ciezki was ranked the No. 56 player in the 2022 recruiting class out of St. Mary’s High School, according to ESPN.
She should help Indiana replace some of the 3-point shooting production of Sara Scalia, one of the most prolific shooters in the country last season.
Ciezki is the second transfer portal addition this spring for Teri Moren, joining Tennessee forward Karoline Striplin.
Here is Ciezki’s bio from last season at Penn State:
