70 – Audi Crooks has scored in double figures in 70 straight games. It marks the longest streak by a Cyclone women's basketball player and longest active streak in NCAA women's basketball. Crooks also holds the longest streak by a Big 12 women's basketball player since Brittney Griner's 116-game run from 2010-2013.
SERIES NOTES
Iowa State and Valparaiso meet for the first time in program history. Valpo is one of three first-time opponents ISU will face during the 2025-26 campaign. The Cyclones will also welcome Norfolk State (Nov. 16) and Mercyhurst (Nov. 23) to Hilton Coliseum for the first series meetings this season.
LAST TIME OUT
Iowa State cruised to a 99-34 win over Sacred Heart on Sunday in Hilton Coliseum. Audi Crooks led the Cyclones with 21 points on 9-of-13 shooting to go along with four rebounds and two assists. Addy Brown had a near double-double, finishing with 12 points and nine rebounds. Brown was efficient, going 4-of-5 from the floor and 2-of-2 from beyond the arc and at the free throw line. Jada Williams was limited with early foul trouble but still managed to pass out a career-high eight assists. ISU's defense limited SHU to 34 total points and just three in the second period, the second lowest opponent field goal percentage of the season by quarter at 8.3 percent (1-12 FG).
