Teri Moren on Yarden Garzon

“We have been recruiting Yarden for a couple of years. Yarden has competed at a high level in Israel, playing with and against multiple WNBA players. She is one of the top players in Europe, and she has proven that against elite competition. Yarden’s versatility as a 6-2 guard is impressive. She is an excellent shooter and rebounds at a high level, all while running the point guard position. We are excited about her future as a Hoosier.”
