Indiana women’s basketball players Mackenzie Holmes and Sara Scalia were named first team All-Big Ten by the league’s coaches and media Tuesday. 

Holmes and Iowa star Caitlin Clark were the only unanimous selections on both of the 10-player teams. Clark, who became the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer this year, was unanimously named the Big Ten’s Player of the Year. 

It was the third first team all-Big Ten selection for Holmes and her fourth all-Big Ten selection overall. She’s averaging 20.7 points and 7.1 rebounds a game for the Hoosiers, who finished the regular season 24-4 overall and 15-3 in the conference. 

Scalia was IU’s second-leading scorer this season at 16.3 points a game and led the Big Ten in 3-point shooting percentage, making 43.8 percent of her attempts. 

IU’s Chloe Moore-McNeil was named to the second team by both the coaches and the media. Moore-McNeil, who averaged 10.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and a team-best 4.9 assists per game, was also named to the All-Defensive team, along with Holmes. 

Yarden Garzon was named honorable mention All-Big Ten by the coaches and media. She averaged 11.7 points and 4.2 rebounds a game this year for IU. 

The Hoosiers finished third in the Big Ten this season and will begin play in the conference tournament on Friday at approximately 9 p.m. in Minneapolis.
