Bridget Carleton
There are moments during practice when Iowa State women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly will give Bridget Carleton the ball and say, “Hey, go attack the basket.”
Carleton never hesitates. She squares up, puts her head down and charges toward the rim. It’s a clean finish almost every time.
This is a simple routine for Carleton, one that is almost second nature to her. But the scene tends to leave her older teammates in awe.
“She’s had some takes to the hoop where I’m like, that is not a freshman take,” redshirt sophomore Jadda Buckley said.
