Holmes reached the milestone on a fourth-quarter layup and finished with 17 in IU's 95-62 victory.

Holmes, the fifth-year post player from Gorham, Maine, came into Sunday's matchup averaging 20.5 points per season and 17.1 for her career.

She has been a starter since her sophomore season with a career high of 33 points against Ohio State last season. She has six games of at least 30 points.
