CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Crimson Women's Basketball team will add junior transfer student Mona Zaric from Indiana University to the 2023 roster, the Kathy Delaney-Smith Head Coach for Harvard Women's Basketball, Carrie Moore, announced on Friday. Zaric will join the Crimson from Novi Sad, Serbia as a forward for the 2023-24 season. 

Prior to her time as a Hoosier, Zaric played for Keravnos B.C. for 10 years and Sistema Rosa Pordenone for two, averaging 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals. She was a two-time U16 Cypriot Championship and two-time U18 Cypriot Championships winner where she was named to the league's senior team three times and the senior super cup team three times, named the U16 and U18 Cypriot League MVP four times, and also earned the rising star award and rookie of the year award. 

In Bloomington, she saw action in 24 games through her first two years of collegiate basketball. Her first-year season was highlighted by points scored in the NCAA tournament first-round against Charlotte. She improved through her sophomore season, setting career highs in all metrics through nonconference play in 2022, highlighted by a standout performance against Moorehead State in which she set a career high in points and rebounds. 

Zaric will join three first-years and 10 returning letterwinners, including Ivy League First and Second Team members Harmoni Turner and Lola Mullaney. She and the class of 2027 will join a program that made history through the 2022-23 season with an overall record of 20-12, 9-5 Ivy as they advanced to the Ivy League Tournament Championship and the fourth round of the WNIT for the first time in Harvard history.
