BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana women's basketball has announced the addition of Shay Ciezki to its 2024-25 roster. Ciezki arrives in Bloomington after two seasons at Penn State and will have two seasons of eligibility at IU.
"We have seen firsthand in the Big Ten how explosive Shay can be," Indiana head coach Teri Moren said. "She is a great perimeter player with quickness to make plays off the bounce. Shay is going to be a great addition to our backcourt. Getting to know Shay and her family we know she will fit in well with our system and culture and look forward to getting her to Bloomington."
Ciezki played in 65 career games with the Lady Lions, making 59 starts while averaging 11.6 points, 2.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds and shot 42.5 percent from the floor and 38.9 percent from beyond the arc in two seasons. As a sophomore in 2023-24, the Buffalo, N.Y. native was an All-Big Ten honorable mention selection where she knocked down 74 3-pinters while averaging 11.5 points per game to help Penn State to the inaugural WBIT semifinals. She started in 30 games and scored in double figures in 19 games including a career-high 40 points against Central Connecticut State where she hit eight 3-pointers.
In her freshman season, she finished with the third most 3-pointers made by a freshman at Penn State (64) and the fourth-best 3-point field goal percentage amongst rookies (46.1) in school history, which also ranks third in the program's history in a single season. Ciezki started in 29 of 30 games as a freshman, averaging 11.8 points, 2.5 assists, and 2.3 rebounds per game while finishing second in the Big Ten in 3-point percentage that season. She collected 18 double figure scoring games and led Penn State in 3-point percentage. Ciezki rated as the No. 56 player out of high school and No. 14 point guard in 2022 by ESPN Hoopgurlz as she led St. Mary's High School to a Class A State championship and was a McDonald's All-American nominee.
