Bridget Carleton Sets New Record

It didn’t take long for Bridget Carleton to start re-writing Iowa State University’s record book. In fact, she did it in her first regular season game.

Carleton set a new Iowa State Cyclones rookie record for most points in a debut, draining 28-points Friday in a 95-59 win over Hampton.

Carleton was 10-for-17 shooting, including 5 three-pointers. She also pulled down 11 rebounds and added 4 assists.

“My teammates were really helpful, they found me when I was open, when I was hitting shots they found me. I need to keep playing consistently, I think that’s my biggest goal here is being consistent,” said Carleton after the win.

“It’s exciting, but my teammates were huge, they were as much as a factor as I was, they created opening for me,” added Carelton about setting the record.

Her new record broke current teammate Bryanna Fenstrom’s mark from last season when she scored 25.

Iowa State will play Drake this Sunday, with the game being televised on ESPN3.
