Eastern Illinois redshirt junior Ella Lune confirmed Friday to the Journal Star that she has entered the NCAA women’s basketball transfer portal.
The former Brimfield all-stater appeared in 29 of EIU’s 31 games, starting 23. She averaged 6.2 points and 3.4 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per game. Lune shot 39.5 percent from the field, 30.1 percent on 3-pointers and was 74.3 percent from the free-throw line. She has one year of eligibility remaining.
This news was first reported by On3’s Talia Goodman.
Lune, a 6-foot forward, was named a 2022 consensus first-team all-stater in helping lead Brimfield to the Class 1A state championship. During that senior season, she averaged 19.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.2 steals and 2.2 blocks for the Indians (32-4). Her other prep accolades include being named to the 2022 Journal Star girls basketball all-area team.
Eastern Illinois went 4-27 overall and 3-17 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Panthers ended their 2025-26 season on a seven-game losing streak and did not qualify for the OVC Tournament.
