Iowa guard Caitlin Clark has already made college basketball history, but her journey is far from over. The senior still has much of the 2023-24 season remaining, and she is well on her way to breaking more records.
Last season, Clark put together historic statistics during the Women’s NCAA Tournament, including the first ever 40-point triple-double. The 2023 Naismith Player of the Year kept that momentum going into this season, breaking Iowa’s all-time scoring record on Nov. 12 against Northern Iowa, which was her 103rd game as a Hawkeye.
On Dec. 8, Clark became just the 15th woman to reach 3,000 career points. She achieved the milestone by registering 35 points against Iowa State, marking her 41st 30-point game — the most in NCAA basketball over the last 25 years. She also became the first Division I player to amass at least 3,000 points, 750 rebounds and 750 assists. Nine days after joining the 3,000-point club, Clark passed former Iowa State star Ashley Joens for ninth on the all-time scoring list with a 38-point performance against Cleveland State.
Clark is climbing the all-time scoring list quite quickly as she is averaging over 30 points per game this season.
Next Iowa game: Thursday, Dec. 21…
