Indiana women’s basketball has landed its third transfer portal addition.
UCLA forward Zania Socka-Ngueman announced her commitment to the Hoosiers on social media on Saturday.
The 6-foot-3 Silver Spring, Md. native played very sparingly for the Bruins as they advanced to their first-ever Final Four. Socka-Ngueman played just 82 total minutes across 16 games this season. She’ll arrive in Bloomington with three years of eligibility remaining.
Socka-Ngueman picked UCLA over Indiana, Tennessee, and Michigan in October 2023. She was ranked No. 26 in the ESPN Top 100 for the Class of 2024, which would’ve made her one of IU’s highest-ranked commits in program history. She ranked higher than both Grace Berger (No. 44, 2018) and Mackenzie Holmes (No. 53, 2019).
Socka-Ngueman joins guards Phoenix Stotijn (Arkansas) and Chloe Spreen (Alabama) as Indiana’s transfer additions this offseason so far. She enters IU’s frontcourt with sophomore Faith Wiseman and redshirt freshman Sydney Fenn.
