Report: Virginia Forward Edessa Noyan Visits Indiana

Noyan is a 6-foot-3 forward and is a native of Botkyrka, Sweden. She is 6-foot-3 and has played two years at Virginia.

Noyan has averaged 4.2 points and 3.7 rebounds during her two seasons with the Cavaliers, though she made progress during her sophomore season. Noyan upped her production to 5.7 points and 4.3 rebounds even though she missed part of the season with pneumonia.

She can stretch the floor a bit as she has a career 3-point percentage at 33.3%. She is an excellent free throw shooter at 81.8%.

Noyan was named to the Swedish Junior Naional team roster for the 2023 Nordic Championships and the U20 European Championships. She averaged 18.8 points while playing for the Swedish U18 team in the 2022 Nordic Championships.

She has played at the professional level for Sodertalje Club just outside of the Swedish capital, Stockholm.

If she committed to Indiana, Noyan would be the second European player Moren would add to the roster. Phoenix Stotijn, a former Arkansas guard, is a native of the Netherlands. Valentyna Kadlecova is already on the roster and is a native of the Czech Republic or Czechia as it is also called.

Noyan would join guards Stotijn and Chloe Spreen and forward Zania Socka-Ngumen as new members of the Indiana women’s basketball team. Socka-Nguemen was officially added to the Indiana roster on Monday.

Whether Noyan comes aboard or not, the Indiana newcomers will join a roster that also includes guards Shay Ciezki, Lenee Beaumont and Kadlecova as well as forwards Faith Wiseman and Sydney Fenn.
