At a glance, Penn State transfer guard Shay Ciezki is Indiana women’s basketball head coach Teri Moren’s response to the graduation of sharpshooter Sara Scalia.
Ciezki and Scalia’s stories are similar. They both transferred to Indiana from rival Big Ten programs where they excelled as deep threats. At 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-10 respectively they’re shorter than the typical “big guard” we know Moren loves but use their range to stretch the floor. Ciezki’s done so since the start of her college career.
The Buffalo, New York native hit 64 of 154 (41.6%) attempts from deep in 2022-23 to finish her freshman campaign as the Big Ten’s second-best 3-point shooter.
