Holmes underwent knee surgery following the conclusion of the 2023-24 season and was drafted by the Seattle Storm with the 26th pick in this past WNBA Draft. She will remain in Bloomington undergoing rehab while working as a team manager before rejoining the Storm for training camp in 2025.
She ended her Indiana career this past season in the Sweet Sixteen, but not before becoming the program’s all-time leading scorer and helping lead the Hoosiers to heights previously unseen in Bloomington. She’ll join fellow teammates-turned-staff Ali Patberg and Keyanna Warthen.
Fields spent time with West Virginia, Arizona and Oklahoma State during her five-year college career, starting all 33 games for the Mountaineers this past season. She was a regular starter across multiple teams and was named Second Team All-Big 12 with the Cowgirls as a junior.
