Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark nearing all-time NCAA women’s scoring record
The GIST: Caitlin Clark is (once again) on the precipice of history. After netting 38 points in her No. 3 Iowa Hawkeyes’ weekend win, the biggest name in NCAA sports is now a mere 66 away from breaking the all-time women’s scoring record. Taking must-see to a whole new level.
The chase: Clark is known for her logo threes and jaw-dropping statlines, which have her averaging 32 points per game this season and rapidly approaching former University of Washington standout, and current Las Vegas Ace, Kelsey Plum’s all-time women’s record of 3,527 points.
- But that’s not all: Clark’s also on pace to break the all-time NCAA record (3,667 points set by LSU hooper turned NBAer Pete Maravich in 1970) in the coming weeks. Truly in a league of her own.
The impact: It’s not only on the court that Clark’s balling out. In just the last few weeks alone, she’s smashed the record for a women’s basketball card sale, helped draw record TV viewership numbers, and inspired an Eras Tour–level ticket frenzy.
- The projected 2024 No. 1 WNBA draft pick (who notably still has one more year of college eligibility) already solidified herself as a household name during last year’s March Madness championship game run. Her future’s truly as limitless as her range.
