Shay Ciezki, a senior guard for Indiana women's basketball, has earned an honorable mention on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-America team for 2026. This recognition marks her as the first player since 2024 to receive such an honor and the 10th in Indiana's history. Ciezki had a standout season, averaging 22.8 points per game and scoring a total of 708 points, while also setting records for points per game and becoming the fastest to reach 1,000 points in program history.

By the Numbers
  • Ciezki averaged 22.8 points per game and scored 708 points this season.
  • She shot 52.6% from the field, 44.6% from beyond the arc, and 90.8% from the free-throw line.
  • Scored in double figures in 30 of 31 games, including 23 games with 20+ points and seven games with 30+ points.
Yes, But

While Ciezki's performance has been remarkable, the absence of program accolades like the All-American selection prior to her this season raises questions about how previous teams may have been overlooked, despite their achievements.

State of Play
  • Ciezki is participating in the 2026 Celsius Women's 3-Point Championship on April 3.
  • She was named Big Ten Player of the Week twice and earned both first and second team All-Big Ten honors.
What's Next

Following her individual success, Ciezki's continued participation in high-profile events like the 3-Point Championship may serve as a launching pad for her professional aspirations in basketball.

Bottom Line

Ciezki's achievements this season highlight her significant impact on Indiana women's basketball and solidify her legacy within the program as a top-tier scorer and competitor.
