Women’s Sports Update: Here’s the latest development from the world of women’s sports, shared for readers of IndiaTips.in. Stay updated with tournament highlights, athlete performances, league news, championship results, and major updates across global women’s sporting events.
Two years after her breakout NCAA tournament performance as a freshman, No. 10 Iowa State center Audi Crooks has become an unstoppable force for the Cyclones as they look to better their first-round exit from last year’s postseason.
The junior is leading the nation in scoring with a career-high 27.3 points per game, all while smashing her own Iowa State single-game scoring record with a 47-point performance against Indiana on November 30th.
“These scoring records are really team records, especially for me as a post,” Crooks told the Des Moines Register after the Cyclones’ 106-95 win over the Hoosiers. “I don’t bring the ball up. Somebody else does that and I don’t pass the ball in the paint. Somebody else does that.”
Crooks, who will turn 21 years old this Saturday, continued her scoring pace with a 30-point game against Northern Illinois on Sunday — registered in only 19 minutes of playing time during the 105-52 blowout win.
Her efficiency has been on full display in the young 2025/26 NCAA season, with Crooks currently sitting first in field goal percentage at 73.8% while averaging only 25.3 minutes of playing time per game.
“It’s always fun to watch her cook. When you get the ball to her hands and it’s going in, it’s Audi-matic,” said Iowa State guard Reagan Wilson following Sunday’s victory.
