Iowa women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark reached the 2,000-point mark Wednesday, just 75 games into her career.
She tied Elena Delle Donne as the fastest NCAA Division I women’s basketball player to accumulate that many points. She and Delle Donne are the fastest among women’s and men’s players since at least the 1999-00, per ESPN.
The Hawkeyes’ initial post about the milestone led to some confusion, as they identified Clark as “the fastest” player to reach 2,000 points. But they later posted an addendum recognizing Delle Donne, who reached the mark at Delaware.
Clark and Delle Donne are dominant but different players — the former a 6-foot point guard, the latter a 6-foot-5 wing. Still, their journeys to 2,000 points look fairly similar.
