Audi Crooks

IRVING, Texas — Iowa State’s Audi Crooks has been named the Big 12 Freshman of the Week for the third time this season. It marks the fourth weekly award the freshman center has collected this season.

Crooks led Iowa State in scoring and rebounding last week and was top-three in the conference in both categories. The Algona native posted 25 points at both Kansas and No. 24 West Virginia for her seventh and eighth 20-point games while posting her fourth career double-double against the Mountaineers with 16 rebounds.

Crooks leads Iowa State this season with 17.4 points per game while shooting a NCAA Division I freshman-best 58 percent from the floor. In conference play, she averages 19.3 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, the best totals by any freshman in the league.
