It was a season of uncertainty for the Iowa State women that turned into another trip to the NCAA Tournament for head coach Bill Fennelly and the Cyclones. Thanks in large part to five freshmen — Jalynn Bristow, Arianna Jackson, Kelsey Joens, Addy Brown and Audi Crooks — the team has a 20-11 record heading into Friday's NCAA Tournament game on Friday against Maryland in Stanford, California. Algona, Iowa native, Audi Crooks has racked up the most weekly honors of any Iowa State freshman in program history and was named an honorable mention All-American after breaking the school's all-time freshman scoring record. Crooks leads the Cyclones with an average of 18.9 points per game. Two other players average double-digit scoring — forward Addy Brown (13.1) and guard Emily Ryan (10.2). Brown leads in rebounds (8.3) and Ryan leads in assists (6.7) and steals (1.2). Brown is the only player to start in every game this season.
