Indiana women’s basketball landed its second transfer portal recruit of the offseason Sunday, as former University of Arkansas guard Phoenix Stotijn committed to the Hoosiers, according to her X post.
Stotijn, like guard Chloe Spreen, has three seasons of eligibility. The pair are the only two players Indiana head coach Teri Moren has secured out of the portal so far.
Stotijn enrolled at Arkansas midway through the 2023-24 season and practiced with the team. However, she did not dress for any contests.
In her freshman season in 2024-25 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Stotijn played in 21 of the Razorbacks’ games and started 12 of them. She averaged 7.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 25.7 minutes per contest.
The Amsterdam, Netherlands, native shot 31.7% from the field and 26% from beyond the arc in her lone season under former Arkansas head coach Mike Neighbors, who resigned from his position March 11, 2025.
Stotijn’s best performance of the season came in an 80-71 victory over Texas A&M University on March 3. She scored a career-high 23 points as she went 5 for 7 from 3-point range while hauling in four rebounds and dishing four assists.
The 5-foot-9 guard joins Spreen in the Hoosiers’ new-look backcourt after they lost two guards to graduation and four guards to the transfer portal. With four players returning from last season, as well as two incoming freshmen and now two transfers, Moren and company have eight players on the roster and will surely continue to build via the portal.
