Crooks went 19 of 25 from the field and buried nine of her 11 free throw attempts in compiling the mark. She also grabbed four rebounds and had two assists on the day in 31 minutes of playing time.

The Cyclones broke a 24-24 tie after the first, taking a three-point lead into the half. They would outscore the Hoosiers by eight the rest of way, handing them their first loss in eight games while improving to 9-0 in the process.

Audi Crooks Continues To Add School Records To Her Resume

Crooks, a 6-foot-3 junior for the Cyclones, set Iowa State single-season scoring and made field goals records last year as a sophomore, finishing with 820 points and 329 made field goals from the floor. She became the fastest Iowa State player to reach 1,000 career points, doing so in 49 games, which also made her the third-fastest in Big 12 history to reach the milestone.

She entered the season ranked 14th on the school’s all-time scoring list. As a freshman, Crooks became the first Iowa State player to be named a freshman All-American, was the school’s first freshman to be named first team all-Big 12 and broke the freshman scoring record with 635 points.

At Bishop Garrigan, Crooks led the Golden Bears to back-to-back Class 1A Iowa high school state championships, was a four-time selection to the all-tournament team, a four-time all-stater and won two Class 1A Iowa high school state track and field championships in the shot put.
