Bridget Carleton entered Sunday’s game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff at the 6-minute, 25-second mark of the first quarter. Over the next 14 minutes, the true freshman sank shot after shot as the 10,156 fans inside Hilton Coliseum marveled at her talents.

Carleton ended the game with 22 points while shooting 53 percent from the field in Iowa State’s 70-41 win over the Golden Lions. She played 28 minutes off the bench, her second outing since she missed three-straight games with a concussion.
