In a remarkable display of basketball prowess, Iowa guard Caitlin Clark etched her name in the annals of collegiate sports history. With a dazzling 35-point performance in Sunday's triumph over Drake, Clark has now become the all-time leader in 30-point games in Division-I women's basketball.
This feat surpasses the record previously held by Kelsey Plum, now a guard with the Las Vegas Aces. Clark's game was not just about scoring; she showcased her all-around skills by adding 10 assists, six rebounds, and an impressive seven steals to her stat line, contributing significantly to Iowa's victory against the Bulldogs.
Her performance is a testament to her versatility and dominance on the court. Already celebrated as the reigning Player of the Year and a two-time unanimous All-American, Clark continues to build an exceptional legacy at Iowa.
She holds the title of Iowa's all-time leading scorer and has now joined the ranks of elite players like New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu, being one of the only players to record triple-doubles in four different seasons.
Clark's Impactful Leadership
Under Clark's leadership, Iowa made a deep run in the national championship last season and reached the Sweet 16 in the 2020-21 season. Her impact on the team is undeniable, and her ability to elevate the game of those around her is a hallmark of her playing style.
Clark's presence on the court galvanizes her teammates, fostering a winning mentality and a cohesive team dynamic. Her strategic playmaking and scoring prowess are central to Iowa's success. Looking ahead, the Iowa Hawkeyes are gearing up for their next challenge.
They are set to take on Purdue-Fort Wayne at the Gulf Coast Showcase in Florida on Friday. This tournament will be a showcase not just for Iowa, but for Clark's extraordinary talents as well. Fans and sports enthusiasts alike are eager to see how far Clark can lead her team this season, as she continues to redefine the boundaries of excellence in women's college basketball.
