Crompton averaged 16.0 points, 3.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds in helping the Redbirds go 2-0 this weekend and improve on ISU's best start in conference play since the 2007-08 campaign.
The Iowa City, Iowa-native finished with 10 points in ISU's 66-58 victory over Indiana State, tallying three rebounds, three assists and a steal in 33 minutes of action. She put up a career-high 22 points versus Evansville on Sunday, going a blistering 6-of-7 from behind the arc while also dishing out a team-high four assists in the 87-68 victory.
Crompton leads the Missouri Valley Conference in three-point percentage, shooting at a 41.9% clip and has made multiple threes in 12 of 14 games this year, including ISU's last eight contests. Already ISU's freshman and sophomore three-point record holder, Crompton continues to climb up ISU's all-time three-point field goal leaders, currently ranked fifth in school history with 179 career threes.
ISU, 7-7 overall and 3-0 in MVC play, returns home this week to host Valparaiso on Thursday and Loyola Chicago on Saturday.
