Mary Crompton’s hard work and perseverance leads to record-breaking season

Women's basketball coach Kristen Gillespie wasn't expecting a Snapchat message from her three-point specialist, Mary Crompton. It was an off day. Gillespie opened the message to see a picture of the redshirt freshman at Redbird Arena in workout gear smiling proudly. The caption read:

"Just made 338 3s without missing 2 in a row."

Gillespie couldn't contain her pride and took to Twitter.

It was just another day for Crompton, an Iowa City native who has turned her intelligence, work ethic, and attention to detail into a weapon for the Redbirds.
