Maura Muensterman’s release from the IU women’s basketball program was confirmed March 11.
Tuesday, the former Miss Indiana Basketball runner-up out of Mater Dei (Evansville) High School announced on Twitter she will be continuing her career at Belmont ?University.
“Excited to announce I’ll be continuing my schooling and basketball career at Belmont University,” Muensterman said. “Nashville here I come.”
Fellow freshmen teammates Jess Walter, Amanda Cahill and Tyra Buss quickly tweeted out their congratulations and that she will be missed.
Muensterman came to IU to play under Curt Miller before he stepped down in July 2014.
Muensterman, along with Taylor Agler, Larryn Brooks and Liz Stratman, left the program this offseason after one year with IU Coach Teri Moren at the helm. The team went 15-16.
In January, Moren was asked on her radio show about Muensterman’s lack of time.
“Her situation is not unlike a lot of teams as a freshman,” Moren said. “She was recruited to play on the perimeter. As you guys well know, we have a lot of guards.”
The team tried to move Muensterman to the post due to the team’s lack of size, but her time never increased.
Belmont went 14-17 this season and 11-7 in Ohio Valley conference play.
The team’s coach, Cameron Newbauer, is the older brother of former IU guard Andrea Newbauer.
