Nebraska Wesleyan University Athletics

Emerson, Iowa native, Brenda (Straight) Sale was a prolific three-point shooter for Nebraska Wesleyan in the early 1990s.

Straight, who was featured in the March 1991 edition of Sports Illustrated, broke the NCAA Division III record for most three-point field goals made during a season (100) and most three-pointers made in a game, after hitting nine shots from beyond the arc against both Clarke College and Buena Vista University in December of 1990.

She led the team in scoring and earned All-Conference honors in her first two seasons with the team. During her sophomore year, Nebraska Wesleyan finished 15-11 and tied the team record for wins. Straight averaged 3.8 treys per game that season, a mark which still ranks 10th in NCAA history, and helped NWU lead the nation in scoring at 88.5 points per game.

On the team’s all-time charts, she still ranks in the top 10 for a single-season in total points (487), scoring average (18.7) and three-point percentage (.405). Straight also ranks first in team history for career three-pointers made (162) and second in career three-point field goal percentage (.380).
