LOS ANGELES – LMU women's basketball takes another step forward by adding senior transfer guard Ivana Krajina to its 2025-26 roster.

"We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Ivana to the family," says head coach Aarika Hughes. "A standout talent from Croatia, Ivana brings exceptional skill, experience, and a fierce competitive spirit that aligns perfectly with our team's culture and goals. Her leadership, drive, and passion for excellence will immediately elevate our program and push us to new heights. We've been fans of her game for a long time, and we couldn't be happier to officially welcome her as a Lion."

Krajina arrives at LMU after one season at Texas Tech and two standout years at Odessa College. While at Texas Tech, she appeared in four games and was part of the Lady Raiders squad that advanced to the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals and the WBIT.

At Odessa, Krajina made a major impact, playing in 60 games and finishing with 892 points, 127 steals, 212 assists, and 228 rebounds over two seasons. Her sophomore year was particularly impressive when she scored double figures in 31 of 35 games and had a career-high 31 points on 13-of-20 shooting against McLennan Community College. Her performance earned her NJCAA Division I First Team All-American honors, All-Region 5 honors, and WJCAC Player of the Year recognition.

A native of Croatia, Krajina graduated from FSV Rijeka High School and competed in the FIBA U16 Women's European Championship Division B in both 2018 and 2019, appearing in eight games each season.
Outside of basketball, Krijana enjoys running and reading, and has goals of playing professionally after college and working in programming.
