Junior guard Victoria Kemokai will not be a part of the team for the 2015-16 season, IU Athletics announced in a statement Monday.
“Victoria will not be a part of our program this season due to family reasons back home in Texas,” IU Coach Teri Moren said in the statement. “We wish Victoria and her family the best during this time.”
Kemokai had announced she would transfer to IU from Tyler Junior College in Texas last spring. The 5-foot-3 guard averaged 11.6 points per game to lead Tyler to a 30-6 record and an appearance in the NJCAA National Tournament.
Kemokai’s departure leaves the Hoosiers with eleven active players on the roster.
Along with a pair of freshman forwards, IU had added Kemokai, as well as Marquette sophomore transfer Tia Elbert and Wabash Valley College in Illinois junior transfer Tyshee Towner.
The departure was announced the Hoosiers’ first day of official practice.
