Cahill told the Sandusky Register<\/a>. “I am getting married in August and just graduated with my master’s in social work. I thought these life transitions were prompting me to also transition away from basketball and lean more into a different career. I plan to still be around the game, but just not as a player \u2014 as a fan and maybe one day a coach.”<\/p>\nCahill had a prolific Hoosiers career.<\/p>\n
She scored 1,884 points from 2014-2018, which still ranks fifth in Hoosiers history. Her 1,115 rebounds are second in IU history.<\/p>\n

Cahill also ranks eighth in steals, with 189, and tied for fifth in blocks, with 135.<\/p>\n
In Cahill’s final college game, she was a big part of Indiana’s 2018 WNIT championship.<\/p>\n
Before Indiana, Cahill was one of the best high school girls basketball players Ohio had ever seen. She was the Division II state player of the year as a sophomore, junior and senior at Clyde High School in northwest Ohio.<\/p>\n
She was 99-6 as a high school player, coached by her father to two state semifinal appearances while scoring more than 2,000 points with more than 1,000 rebounds.<\/p>\n
Now, Cahill is on to the next chapter of her life, with a legendary high school career in Ohio and college career at Indiana always a part of her journey.<\/p>\n
