Caitlin Clark of Iowa broke the NCAA women’s basketball career scoring record Thursday ― and part of the fuss was how she did it.
“Y’all know I was gonna shoot a logo 3 for the record, c’mon now,” a smiling Clark said to laughter in the press room.
Just 2 minutes and 12 seconds into a game against Michigan at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Clark sank a 35-foot, 3-point shot near a court logo to set the record.
Watch the place erupt after her big shot:
Here’s a look from another angle:
In that moment, the 6-foot senior guard surpassed ex-Washington star Kelsey Plum’s 2013-17 record of 3,527 points. Clark finished the game at 3,569 career points ― and counting.
“I don’t know if you can really script it any better,” Clark said.
The No. 4 Hawkeyes also won the game.
