Audi Crooks has been immovable in women's college hoops this season. But she is not the only one in the spotlight.

Richmond forward Maggie Doogan stole the single-game scoring lead from Iowa State center Audi Crooks on Saturday.

Doogan dropped 48 points in Saturday's 91-84 triple-overtime win over Davidson. Iowa State's Crooks previously held that title by scoring 49 points in a win over Indiana.

The 6-foot-2 junior shot 17-of-28 from the field and 8-of-12 from three, pulling down 13 rebounds.

Crooks still leads the nation at 28.7 points per game, with six games of at least 30 points. She has scored at least 20 points in 14 of her team’s 16 games so far. She also had 23 and 26 points in the two games where she fell short against CNN and Baylor.

Not just that, National attention follows Audi everywhere. ESPN's Pat McAfee crafted a hype chant, "You're about to get cooked by Audi Crooks." As a freshman, she dropped 40 on Maryland in the NCAA Tournament. 

But on Saturday night, it was Doogan’s game.

Maggie Doogan's Record-Shattering Triple-OT Thriller

Doogan dominated the third overtime. She hit three straight shots, an eight-foot jumper and two threes, forcing an eight-point lead Richmond never lost. This smashed Richmond's program record of 39 points and was her first 40-point game (five 30s prior).

The reigning Atlantic 10 Player of the Year entered averaging 22 points, eight rebounds, and five assists, on 50.7% field goal shooting and 41.3% from three.

No one else hit those marks. "I’ve never played a three-overtime game before. My body is kind of feeling it," Doogan told ESPN+ postgame.

Her teammates fueled the outburst. "That’s just a testament to my team and how they’re able to get me the ball," she said. "I didn’t create much of my shot today. Everybody was finding ways to get me open." Richmond's squad mobbed her at midcourt afterward, dousing her with water bottles.

Doogan's explosion lifts Richmond to No. 48 in A-10 NET rankings, bolstering their NCAA case.
