Caitlin Clark, the star of the Iowa Hawkeyes, has made history once again, becoming the top scorer in NCAA Division I basketball history. She broke "Pistol Pete" Maravich's record of 3,667 career points that stood for over 50 years, needing just 18 points in Sunday's game against the Ohio State Buckeyes to achieve this milestone. By the end of the game, Clark had scored 35 points, setting the new NCAA scoring record at 3,685 points.
In a postgame interview, Clark expressed her pride in her team's performance, highlighting their dominance on the court against the Buckeyes. She also expressed gratitude for the support she has received, acknowledging the impact of her teammates, coaches, and fans on her journey.
Clark's record-breaking achievement comes in her final regular-season game as a college athlete. Despite having another year of eligibility, she has decided to enter the WNBA draft next month. Throughout her final season, Clark has consistently delivered impressive performances, averaging 32 points per game and recording over 8 assists per game. She has also achieved the milestone of 1,000 career assists, making her only the sixth woman in college basketball history to do so.
Looking ahead, Clark is focused on leading her team to a national title. With a record of 25-4, the Hawkeyes are in a strong position to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament. Clark's remarkable journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring basketball players and fans alike, highlighting the impact of hard work, dedication, and perseverance in achieving one's goals.
