AMES, Iowa – Iowa State sophomore Audi Crooks has been named one of 50 finalists for the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association All-America team. It is the second time in her career that she has been named a finalist for the 10-person team.
Crooks led Iowa State and the Big 12 Conference in scoring this season, averaging 23.4 points per game while shooting 60.5 percent from the floor. She set Iowa State single-season records for points and made field goals with 820 and 329, respectively. In the regular season finale against then-No. 14 Kansas State, Crooks dropped a season-high 36 points on 14-of-18 shooting from the floor. It marked her fifth of six games shooting over 75 percent from the floor this season. She also finished 8-of-11 (.727) from the free throw line in the contest and pulled down 10 rebounds for her 10th double-double of the year. Crooks finished 24 of 35 games with 20-plus points and six games with 30-plus. Along with her top marks in points and field goals, she also posted Iowa State sophomore top-five marks in rebounds (261) and free throws (162).
The Algona native was named a Third Team All-America selection last week by both the Associated Press and USBWA. Crooks is the first Cyclone sophomore to be named to an All-America team by either outlet. She is also a top five finalist for the Lisa Leslie Center of the Year award, the first ever at Iowa State.
