Hallie Christofferson is 114 points away from hitting 1,000 points as a Cyclone.

But, that isn’t the only impressive number on the junior’s resume of career and season-high numbers.

In the previous four games, Christofferson is perfect (11-11) on free-throws, shooting 7-12 from behind the arc and shooting 67 percent from the field. All of which ISU coach Bill Fennelly pointed out is nothing short of a star.

“She really could be,” Fennelly said. “She can shoot it; you don’t want to foul her because she’ll make the free throw. She’ll rebound it. She can make 3s now, [and] we can post her up a bit.”

When push comes to shove, Fennelly’s players’ success most likely comes from work ethic. 

“Every day, she’s in the gym, and every day she’s around is a better day for us,” Fennelly said. “When practice is over, she is usually the last one to leave the gym. What a coincidence.” 

Coincidence or not, Christofferson is playing some of the best basketball by a Cyclone this season at just the right time.

Averaging 17.5 points per game and 7.5 rebounds per game during the past four games, Christofferson said the game is starting to become natural.

“I’ve just gotten more comfortable on the floor and not rushed things,” Christofferson said. “It’s just coming to me instead of me going out to get it.” 

The numbers and actions Christofferson has displayed haven’t gone unnoticed by her teammates. 

Senior Anna Prins, who is also approaching the 1,000-point mark with 965 points of her own, said if Christofferson keeps doing what she’s doing in practice, it will pay off in the end. 

“In practice when she’s not taking that shot, we’re telling her to shoot it,” Prins said. “[We’re] trying to get her to keep that streak going of shooting the ball. She’s obviously a really important part of this team on the court and off the court.”
