JLab Playmakers
Karoline Striplin, the dynamic 6-3 forward for the Indiana Hoosiers, has joined the JLab Playmaker roster, bringing her versatile skillset and competitive drive to the partnership. Whether she's preparing for Big Ten matchups, focusing on her master's degree coursework, or getting in extra practice time, Striplin relies on her JBuds Lux headphones to stay locked in. "I wear headphones when I'm working out, traveling, reading or cleaning. I really use them for everything!" she shares, making JBuds Lux an essential part of her daily routine both on and off the court.
Season Success
In her first year with the Hoosiers, Striplin has made an immediate impact. Her scoring ability was on full display against Penn State, where she put up an impressive 27 points on perfect 12-for-12 shooting from the field. What makes Striplin special isn't just her scoring touch – it's her versatility as a modern post player who can defend, rebound, and stretch the floor with her three-point shooting ability.
Consistent Performance
Throughout the 2024-25 season, Striplin has shown why Coach Teri Moren was excited to bring her to Bloomington. Her efficiency has been remarkable, particularly evident in games like her double-double performance against Bellarmine where she dominated on both ends of the court. Whether it's making plays on defense or stepping out to hit a crucial three-pointer, Striplin has proven to be a reliable force for the Hoosiers.
Impact On and Off the Court
Striplin's influence extends beyond the basketball court as she pursues her master's degree at Indiana. Already holding an impressive 3.88 GPA from her undergraduate studies, she continues to demonstrate the same dedication to excellence in academics that she shows in her game. "I am so excited to work with JLab!" Striplin exclaims. "I love listening to music when I'm doing just about anything, and I'm pumped to be able to find new ways to do so!"
Looking Ahead
As the Hoosiers continue their pursuit of Big Ten success and NCAA Tournament glory, Striplin's experience and versatility make her a key piece of Indiana's championship aspirations. Head coach Teri Moren's assessment rings true: "Karoline is a tough post player who can score inside and out while also establishing herself as a great post defender. Her skill set and work ethic will be the perfect fit for us."
