Indiana women’s basketball will see one of its starters for most of the 2025-26 season enter the transfer portal.
Forward Edessa Noyan is planning to go into the portal, per On3. She’ll become the fifth Hoosier to enter the portal, along with Phoenix Stotijn, Faith Wiseman, Jade Ondineme, and Chloe Spreen.
Noyan played in all 32 games for the Hoosiers this past season, and she started 21 of those contests when Zania Socka-Nguemen was injured. The Virginia transfer had an up-and-down campaign, averaging 5.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game. She turned in some good performances near the end of the year, with 18 points in IU’s best win of the season over Oregon, and a double-double in the team’s comeback victory over Nebraska in the Big Ten Tournament.
Indiana now has only nine players on scholarship slated for the 2026-27 season. Teri Moren has just three post players among that group, and Socka-Nguemen is the only one with collegiate game experience. Sydney Fenn has missed all of her two seasons with the program due to injury, and Zoe Jackson is part of IU’s strong incoming freshman class. Noyan’s departure creates a clear frontcourt void for the Hoosiers to fill in the transfer portal in April.
