Does not look like Neoscona
Why did you move it from nordmanni?

Neoscona crucifera ...
doesn't have tubercles or a white median mark on the anterior abdomen - two features both your spider and A. nordmanni have. A. nordmanni's coloration varies between brown and a contrasting black and white(1) in case you saw one of the black and white ones first and thought that couldn't possibly be right.

Agreed
Thanks, Laura, I think you're right. I saw the white median mark, but I thought it might be a play of light since there is dew near it. The anterolateral tubercles are distinct.
