Clark ended Thursday with 3,569 career points and could set the all-time scoring record in men’s and women’s NCAA basketball history before the season’s end.
The late Pete Maravich, who played at Louisiana State for three seasons from 1967 to 1970, holds that record – 3,667 points.
Her 49 points Thursday also was a one-game best for her in college, and a one-game best for any University of Iowa women’s basketball player.
Before Thursday’s game, at Iowa’s weekly news conference, Clark was asked if she ever thought she could be in a position to surpass the career scoring record.
I think that’s been one of the coolest parts.”This season, Clark and Iowa are looking to end the season on a high by claiming a first ever women’s basketball national championship.
