Indiana women’s basketball’s all-time leading scorer will be back on the bench this fall.

Mackenzie Holmes, who wrapped up a stellar five-year career at IU in the spring, will be a graduate manager with the Hoosiers for the 2024-25 season, the university announced Monday.

Holmes, the program’s only first team All-American, was selected with the 26 th pick in the WNBA draft by the Seattle Storm in April, but missed this season after having surgery on her knee. She’s expected to re-join the Storm for the 2025 training camp.

The Gorham, Maine, native finished her career as the school’s all-time leader in scoring (2,530 points), field goals made (1,043), field goal percentage (63.9) and games won (123). She helped lead the Hoosiers to their first Big Ten regular season title in 40 years and to four NCAA Tournament appearances.

IU also named Lauren Fields a graduate manager for next season. She played three seasons at Oklahoma State before wrapping up her career last season at West Virginia.

Patrick Beane spent three decades as a journalist at The Herald-Times in Bloomington before joining the staff at WFIU/WTIU News. He began his career at the newspaper after graduating from Indiana University in 1987 and was the sports editor from 2010-2020. His duties at the paper included writing, copy editing, page design and managing the sports department.
