Indiana women’s basketball senior forward Mackenzie Holmes moved into second for career blocks in program history with 198. She reached the milestone at the 2:36 mark of the third quarter during Thursday’s game against No. 12 Michigan. 

Holmes started the game with 193 blocks and tied Jill Chapman for second at 197 when she recorded her fourth block of the game with 8:50 remaining in the second quarter. Chapman played for the Hoosiers from 1999 to 2002.

Holmes also moved into eighth all-time in career program scoring on Thursday, passing Cyndi Valentin’s mark of 1,769, which was set from 2003 to 2006.
